The objective of the Cupertino National Little League shall be to implant firmly in the children of the community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, courage, and respect for authority, so that they may be well adjusted, stronger, and happier children and will grow to be good, decent, healthy, and trustworthy citizens.

Post Season
For Teams Coming to Play at CNLL
We have maps for our fields:
- Kennedy Majors
- For all of the games from the 9-10 year olds through the 11-12 year olds
- Kennedy Juniors
- For all of the Juniors level games, this is the 90' diamond.
We have a great Snack Shack, and we will be cooking chicken and burgers to order, and we'll have everything from pasta- and rice-bowls to frozen lemonade and bubble gum. Read over our Menu and come hungry!
For CNLL Players on a Post Season Team
If you are traveling to play somewhere else, check out:

- CNLL's Related Links
- which includes our attempts to map all the fields in the district
Also, Parents of All Star players, see the CNLL All Star Letter.
Schedules and Other Details
All of the post-season is administered by District 44, and they maintain the Post Season Documents (all of the tournament schedules, district maps, tournament manuals -- everything you might ever want to know about this post season).
Seeking Volunteers
CNLL is hosting 10 games this post season, and we can always use a bit more help.
For something easy, the Snack Shack is seeking a few folks to help staff the shack during these games, see 2009 Post Season Letter for shifts.
Contact us if you can help prepare a field, or be the announcer for a game, or if you want your chance to be able to tell the managers how things should really work our Tournament Directors could use more help as well.
Seeking Photographers
If you are a photographer and have CNLL-related photographs you want to share, we are experimenting with a Photo Gallery for CNLL.
News
May 28th, 2009: The end of the season approaches, which means that the post-season is almost here. Our Snack Shack Team has posted a 2009 Post Season Letter. Amongst other items, we are looking for volunteers to come on and sign up for a shift during one of the games CNLL is hosting at Kennedy -- these post-season games are great opportunities for the Snack Shack to raise the much needed cash to help keep CNLL going strong.
May 16th, 2009: Posted the latest Snack Shack Letter. Thank you for patronizing our Snack Shack. With the post-season tournaments coming up soon, we are seeking folks willing to help cover some shifts in the post-season.
March 27th, 2009: On the 2009 Calendar we have added one more CNLL Umpires training session -- especially for the parent volunteers helping to umpire games this season. Sunday, April 5th, 2-4pm, come on down to the Kennedy Majors field and learn what you need to know.
February 19th, 2009: Coaches, final information about the 2009 Al and Al Clinics have been posted on the Coaches Info page. This is required (and already pre-paid) training for all coaches in CNLL.
February 16th, 2009: Final push is on to fill a few key roles in our Volunteer Positions. On our Board page you can see who has stepped up to help out, but you can see that there are a few holes that we really need to fill or else we will need to cut back those activities drastically. We need a Chief Umpire (or at least some one willing to schedule umpires for each game), we are in need of a couple of more parents willing to fill a couple of the Snack Shack management roles, and we are need of several coordinators (Uniforms, Photo-Day, Opening and Closing Ceremonies, et al).
February 6th, 2009: Original tryout date is rained out, will reschedule for February 28th.
January 15th, 2009: Updated date for Opening Day, now set for March 21st.

June 24th, 2008: For those seeking Post-Season schedules (times, locations, opponents, et al), the 2008 Post-Season schedule is maintained on the District 44 website.
