Did you know… 🍂

Fall ball isn’t just for player development—it’s the perfect time for a little parent development, too! 🤩 If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to use GameChanger, this is your official, pressure-free invitation.

We know that keeping score during the Spring season can feel a little intimidating when every run and record is being tracked. But Fall season is all about learning! There are no official standings or scoreboards to worry about, making it the ultimate sandbox to test out the app.

Grab a soda 🥤and some boiled peanuts, 🥜 hop on the app, and practice at your own pace. Making mistakes is totally okay—that's how we learn! You've got this! ⚾📱

Set your team's Starting Lineup in advance of the game to save time...

Inverness Little League Families,
we recently learned that the gentleman who previously volunteered his time to line our fields for games is no longer available to help.

With that said, we could really use some extra hands!

We have created a SignUpGenius with all our upcoming home games and the fields that need to be lined. Our league president, has personally signed up for every game he can cover.

A few things to know:

• One person can line the fields, but two makes the job much easier!

• The suggested start time is 4:30 PM, but there is flexibility. From our experience, 1 experienced person can typically line all the fields by themselves in about an hour.

• No experience is necessary! The league president will be there for the first several games and would be happy to show anyone and everyone how it's done. Even if you can't arrive until closer to game time, you're welcome to come learn.

This is a relatively simple task and a great way to help contribute to the league and keep things running smoothly for our kids.

If you're able to help in any capacity, please consider signing up. Every little bit helps, and we certainly don't expect the same people to carry the load every game.

If you have any questions, feel free to message the league.

Thanks, everyone!

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

We have had some recent requests about how to volunteer to assist with a team. Please utilize this step by step guide to help get you through the Level 1 background sign up process.

Dear Coaching Staff & Inverness Little League families,

On Monday 9/21/26, the Inverness Little League Board was made aware of a new Florida law that requires Level 2 background checking for all coaches involved in youth sports across the state. We are taking active steps to get into full compliance with this law. Our coaches have been Level 1 background checked, as they always have been, but we must also add Level 2 background checks as of this season. It is of utmost importance that we are protecting the children on and around the field and we continue to make their safety our priority. Moving forward this process will be added to our pre-season requirements alongside, Level 1 checks (required by Little League International), and training courses.

We are actively pursuing our ORI number through the state of Florida. We applied for the number, received confirmation that the application has been received, and have provided final signatures to obtain this number. Once our ORI number is returned to us, we will have the opportunity to pull Level 2 reports for the many coaches who already possess those checks.

We have also been in contact with a mobile fingerprinting business. As soon as we have the ORI number we can be added to their schedule and will have an event where we will have all coaches not yet in compliance come and get their Level 2 fingerprinting completed. Once the information is submitted, typical turnaround time is 1-3 days for clearance. Our goal as a Board is to complete this process as quickly as possible. Inverness Little League will be covering the cost of these background checks at this time.

In the meantime, teams cannot practice under the direction of Inverness Little League coaches or managers. The city will leave the Whispering Pines fields open to the public for use so parents who would like their players to continue working on skills, under their own liability, insurance, schedule, and direction, can take them and spend quality time as a family. Please be respectful of the hard work the city employees are putting in and refrain from using any fields that are lined. Every effort will be made to reschedule any games that are missed as a result of this decision.

Thank you for your patience as we try and get this issue corrected! We apologize for any inconvenience this causes and for any frustration this causes our players and families!

Sincerely,
Rob Mattull (League President)
& Brittany Wemhoener-Cuite (League VP)

As of 5:55 PM on 9/22/26 we are under a 30 minute lightning delay. That delay will extend for 30 minutes after every strike of lightning that is within an 8 mile radius of the fields. For the safety of all players, they should be away from the trees, fences, and field areas and should be waiting in the safety of their vehicles with an adult. Thank you!!
