About This Activity
This program is for players in 6th and 7th grade. This translates to players with birth dates from 9/16/2010 to 9/15/2012.
Full base running & kid pitching. (No dropped third strike). Regulation games are seven innings, with teams playing typically twice a week, and practice time available on the weekend once games start.
At the discretion of the teams and field availability, practice time is available all week in April before games begin in late April/early May.
Pending issues with inclement weather, the regular season is scheduled to finish before the July 4 holiday. The season ends with a postseason tournament and All-Star game after the 4th of July.
Unlike Coach Pitch or Rookie/Intro to Kid Pitch, there are tryouts/evaluations at the end of March/early April to help strike a competition balance in this division, with coaches asked to draft their teams based on the assessments determined at the evaluations.
For special requests, the only way to ensure friends are on the same team, is by having a parent volunteer to coach with the parents of their child's friend(s). Each team formed around a coaching group is able to protect a set number of kids in the draft.
The coach for your team will contact you soon after teams are drafted to provide more details and get the season going with practices. You should expect to hear something from your coach or division director by Monday, April 8.
NOTE: A separate gold division for weekend travel/tournament teams also is available to keep the playing field level for drafted squads.
Each drafted player will receive a numbered jersey and a hat before games begin. The colors are determined by the sponsor, with the sponsor logo displayed on the front of the jersey.
Fields used: Crow Creek #8 & #9 at the 4-Plex (and possibly CC#6). Bases are 70 feet apart. Pitching mound distance is 50 feet.
NOTE: Those interested in coaching are asked to contact the division director, Matt Wood at mcw1205@aol.com.
