Frequently Asked Questions:
Age and Play:
Q: How can I be sure my kid is in the right age group? A: What ever age your child played as during the spring, will be the age they play as during fall. i.e. if your son or daughter was 13 as of January 1, 2010, he or she played as a 13 yr old even if they turned 14 on January 2, 2010. As a result that is the age they play as in the fall as well. Q: Can my child play in an older division? A: Yes, as long as it is the next division up. i.e. Tee Ball players may play Pee Wee ball but not move up to the intermediate league. Q: Can I play my team up a division? A: A team in every respective division will be required to have a minimum of 9 players who are of that divisions age, so only a handful of players may be younger that the required division age. Q: Can my child play on more one team? A: Yes. But there are restrictions. First your child must be ona primary roster in their respective league age division or the next age group up. Once a primary team is established a player may be on another roster as a reserve player. The reserve team must be in a different age division. The primary team must be the priority team, and the player must play in the primary game to be eligable for the reseve team. The reserve players are not allowed to pitch at any time! Season Calendar:
Once all the registered, rosters are complete, ages are checked and medical relese forms are signed, them a division time schedule will be posted. The following is the tenative schedule for 2010 season... Pool Games Week 1 - August 21 Week 2 - August 28 Week 3 - September 4 (Labor Day) Week 4 - September 11 Week 5 - September 18 Tournament October 2 (Saturday & Sunday for teams advancing) October 9 (make-up week if needed) Q: Why are we playing on Labor Day? A: Why not? For the past three years we have not played on Labor Day. This year the board voted to play this weekend for several reasons. First, it is important to get games in as quickly as possible. Overall, the weather has been good to us the last three years, but you never know. Second, plenty of people requested that we not take that weekend off so we can move the season along without basically two weeks of no play. Third, did I mention the board voted on playing that weekend? Q: What is we can't field a team that weekend? A: Unfortunately, it will be a forfeit. If this is a potential problem for your team please line up reserve players. This will insure your team is able to play. Q: Once the league schedule is available, should there be a conflict where either the coach or the team can not be there on any given day, can one coach work things out with the other coach to reschedule the game to a more conveinient time? A: This has presented problems for us in the past. Simply the answer is "no." Unless the weather is a factor you will be required the game as scheduled unless you have prior permission from your player agent. If you have any question please call your player agent.

Q: Dose every kid need to have a medical relese form filled out? A: Absolutely no exceptions. This is with your childs saftey in mind.

Q: Do I have to show proof of age for my child? A: Yes, coaches will need to get copies of birth certificates and have them available for inspection at all times for every player in uniform. The exception is reserve players. They certificate is verifiable from the primary team. Q: Can a coach pick up a player at any point in the season even if he/she is not on a current team roster? A: NO! If a player is no on a roster, that person is not eligable to play. Q: What is the penaly for an unregistered player playing in a game? A: Once it has been prooven the player in question is not a registered player the game is over and the offending team will forfeit the game. Q: Can a team register a player during the season? A: Yes! Permission must be granted by the player agent, and the player will be required to show proof of age, and fill out a medical release form before playing. Cost:
As it has been in the first three years, there is a team fee. Team Fee is $585 Q: Does it matter how many players we have? A: No. The fee is the fee rather you have 10 player or 20 players. Q: What gives with the price Dave?! A: It has always been our goal to keep Fall Ball affordable. It is also our goal to cover all our costs. While the price last year was attractive for twelve games and a tournement with a three game garantee, it hardly covered all the expenses. This year one of the things that will drive up the cost is umpires. This year we are outsourcing our umpire scheduling. This alone will cost $6 a game. We are still having the 12 game season and the 3 garantee round robin tournament. Q: Does this price include uniforms? A: No, teams are going to have to provide those for them selves. Dave has a source that is pretty inexpensive so don't be shy, ask him. All Metro Batting Contest: Other Questions: |
