About This Activity
This program is for players currently in 3rd and 4th grade. This translates to players with birth dates from 9/16/2014 to 9/15/2016.
This division features full kid pitch (with no balks, no leadoffs, no pickoffs) with base-running restrictions. Regulation games are six innings, with teams playing typically twice per week. 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, and normally on the weekends once games start.
Pending issues with inclement weather, the program is scheduled to finish before the July 4 holiday. The season ends with a postseason tournament and all-star game.
Unlike Coach Pitch, there are tryouts/evaluations at the end of March help strike a competition balance in this division, with coaches asked to draft their teams based on the assessments determined at the evaluations. More information will follow regarding specific time and location of the evaluations.
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 Saturday, April 5th.
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 #10 & #11 at the 4-Plex, Tyler Hurd Field at Ed Scheck Park, and LeClaire's Veterans Memorial Complex. Bases are 60 feet apart. Pitching mound distance is 46 feet.
