Friend and Coach Requests

• 6U/8U: Friend and Coach requests will be a primary consideration when forming teams, although we cannot guarantee that all requests will be honored
• 10U/12U/14U: Friend and Coach requests may be submitted. We will try to accommodate as many as possible, but the primary criteria in forming teams will be to distribute talent evenly and to provide each team with sufficient specialty position players (Pitcher, Catcher, 1B). We cannot guarantee that any or all of these requests will be honored
  

REC

2023 Fall Select

• The goal of Fall Select is to provide our players the opportunity to participate in a more competitive environment. Fall Select teams play a distinct and separate schedule from Fall Rec teams (unlike Spring).
• Winning, success and development are paramount during the Fall Select season. Playing time and positions are not guaranteed, and coaches are not required to play players a minimum number of innings. While some players may prefer one position to another, it is important to recognize that at this level of play, all positions and roles are critical to the team’s success, and the coach will assign them accordingly
• An additional $75 fee will be assessed to ALL Select players (for additional tournament and umpire fees)
• Fall Select players MUST have a league sponsored Matte White Helmet and Columbia/Navy Boombah Player Bag
• Fall Select teams will either be chosen by the Select coaches, in consultation with the Board, or may require a Select Evaluation (tentatively scheduled for Sunday, August 6)
• Select teams by invitation only in 8U, 10U, 12U (tryouts may be necessary).
• Gold and Silver level may be offered in each age group (with sufficient interest)
• 14U teams will most likely play as Select teams (with sufficient interest — subject to change)
• Select teams practice 2X per week (+ additional cage time), play doubleheaders on Sundays and participate in Two Tournaments (one partial tournament fee is included in the registration fee)
• Pumpkin Tournament: October 20-22, 2023 (preliminary — subject to change)
• Turkey Tournament: November 10-12, 2023 (preliminary — subject to change)
