Joe Arns
I look forward to the opportunity to serve on the PLL board again for the coming year. My family has lived in Princeton since 2012. My son Will (age 17) played in PLL for 9 years and continues to play baseball in high school. My younger son Henry (age 9) is following in his older brother's footsteps.
As a coach of children ages 4-12, it has been a privilege watching them develop not just as athletes, but particularly as young people with resilience after years spent playing a game where failure and mental adversity are common. In addition to coaching, I have served the league in several administrative roles since 2014.
Chris Cashman
Chris is a proud Princeton resident who has been affiliated with Princeton Little League for the past three years, coaching on the recreation, All-Star and District teams. His passion for baseball started at a young age growing up in Bordentown and continued through his college career at a division three school in North Jersey. He then had a shorter than desired stint playing AAA ball outside of Philadelphia.
On the Little League field, Chris readily defies expectations that he learned any advanced coaching techniques during his semi-pro days. Nonetheless, he’s committed first and foremost to making baseball a fun and engaging sport for youth players at all levels and insists on creating a safe and positive team environment where kids can grow by trying new things, challenging themselves, and overcoming obstacles.
Chris works in New York as a corporate and crisis communications executive and frequently runs into fellow Princeton Little League advocates on NJ Transit. He lives in the Littlebrook Neighborhood with his wife, Emma, and two kids, Leo (11) and Siena (7), both of whom are active in many Princeton recreation activities, including Little League, PJFL, the Dilon Basketball League, Princeton Ballet, Princeton Dance and Cheer, and many others.
Jon Durbin
Princeton Little League for more than fifteen years has been fully dedicated to an “all kids approach” when it comes to strengthening and growing the league, which means that we are committed to ensuring a strong recreation program is at the heart of PLL because it benefits the largest number of kids; it creates a fun environment and strong sense of community; and it develops a strong skills foundation for all our players.
In 2026, I am excited that we will be bringing back many of our skill-building activities with new wrinkles! I look forward to working with a great team of volunteer board members and coaches to make it all happen for the children and families in our community.
For PLL, I currently serve as President Emeritus with the following primary responsibilities: 1) To build stronger coordination between the teenage baseball and softball teams here in town, including the Babe Ruth Program (ages 13-16), The Princeton Legion Team (ages 15-19), and the school programs. 2) To focus on upgrading and expanding the softball and baseball facilities here in town for all ages (4-19). I would be honored to serve on the board for a 17th year.

I'm excited and delighted to be considered for the PLL board. I hope that being involved with Princeton sports for more than 20+ plus years will bring some new ideas to the table. Having fun is the number one thing for me. Along with learning the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and overall knowledge of the game. I first started my coaching career in PLL back in the 90's. To then being involved with Princeton Public Schools baseball. From middle school head coach, freshmen head coach, JV head coach, and eventually Varsity head coach all at some point. To now where I have pleasantly been the Varsity assistant coach for the last 17 years. I have been the voice of Princeton Athletics for 25 years and would love to announce some PLL games!
I've seen the challenges Princeton and other communities have gone through in keeping numbers up. I hope to help our children keep that love for the game. It's challenging because our kids are so diverse in everything they do. I hope to make that transition easier both for our players and us as coaches for those who do decide to play Babe Ruth, Legion, middle school and eventually high school baseball.
I'm married to my high school sweetheart where we both graduated from PHS. Then I went on and attended Northeastern University in Boston. Started working for Princeton Public Schools in 2000. Have two boys Brady 10 yrs old a 4th grader and Mason 9 yrs old 3rd grader at CP. Both have played Tball, coach pitch, and minors in PLL. I have been a volunteer firefighter and EMT for 21 years as well. I also help coach my kids Central Jersey Rebels travel team. I'm one of the PJFL refs for the past 10 years. While I'm mainly root for Boston teams. We do have a strong family love for the Phillies because of Mason!!
Again would be a pleasure to serve on the PLL board.

Charles Park
I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to serve on the Princeton Little League board of trustees and help make a positive impact on our community through sport.
Prior to moving to Princeton, I completed my BA and MBA at Rutgers and I currently work at Johnson & Johnson in Clinical Project Management supporting the oncology portfolio. Having grown up in the area, I managed to convince my wife Boas, who grew up in North Jersey, to move to Princeton in 2016, and I have been coaching PLL teams since 2021. My oldest son Matthew (age 9) has played in PLL for the last three years and his younger brother Luke (6) is currently playing in his second year of tee ball. Evan (4) and baby sister Elisha (1) hope to follow in their footsteps when their time comes.
As someone who played every sport I possibly could growing up, I truly believe that team sports in particular are an invaluable teacher of life lessons for the next generation - leadership, teamwork, mental fortitude, discipline, and self-confidence. I am excited to be a part of this board that works to instill these values in our young people while growing the love of the game within our community.

Teddy Reed
I have been coaching Princeton Little League teams since my oldest son began Tee Ball in the Spring of 2021, and it has been an honor to serve on the PLL Board since 2024. Baseball has always been a central part of my life, having played at all levels of Little League, in high school, for an American Legion team and on the JV squad in college. I greatly enjoy instilling a passion for the game, particularly with younger, inexperienced players, and have found Little League in general (and PLL in particular) to be a fantastic organization.
I graduated from Harvard in 2005 and UVA Law in 2010. In between college and law school, I taught 8th grade and coached a middle school baseball team in North Carolina through Teach For America. I am currently Vice President, Corporate Secretary for Kenvue (formerly J&J Consumer Health), handling corporate governance matters and supporting a public company board of directors, so I am hopeful I can continue to be of use to the PLL Board as well. My wife Kara and I moved to the area in 2016 and have three children - Henry (9), Arthur (8) and Georgiana (6). We are proud to call Princeton home and I look forward to the opportunity for deeper community engagement through the PLL Board.
Ami Zweig
I have been incredibly fortunate to be able to share my love of baseball (and, for better or worse, the Mets) with my two boys, Everett and Ryan, as well as my wife Hayley, who has fully embraced being a “baseball mom” and has spent countless hours cheering us on at Grover Park – even agreeing to name our new dog Rookie. Since 2023 I have been a coach in Princeton Little League, which I have found to be an extremely rewarding experience – not just because of the baseball element, but more importantly because of the community and camaraderie elements that are central to PLL. When I’m not planning the position rotations for our next game, for my day job I’m an employment lawyer at a boutique firm that focuses on M&A. I am grateful for the opportunity to become more involved with PLL and to help out in making the PLL experience a great one for all of our player.
