Attention:

 Change in 5 & 6 Year Old Format:

In an Overwhelming vote (by the parks) at last years State meeting, 5 & 6 year olds will now play "Coach Pitch" in all post season tournaments

A batting "Tee" will no longer be used in any tournament games.

5 & 6 year olds are now governed under the "Farm League" section of the rule book (ages 5-8)
.


Eligibility Clarification:

A child must turn 5 years old on or before April 30th to be eligible to participate in All-Stars.
 

 

Farm League:* There is NO stealing or walks of any kind in 5-8 year old Farm League! *


Pitching Rules:

The purpose of pitching rules is to safeguard the youth pitchers as they grow and develop. Violations of pitching rules are taken very seriously and coaches who willingly violate pitching rules will be held accountable.

* Maximum weekly innings pitched, Maximum Day/Game innings pitched, and Minimum rest requirements are inclusive of ALL pitching events including: regular season park games, practice games, and travel team games (practice games and tournament games). It is up to the coach and the park administrators to develop a system to monitor innings pitched both inside and outside of the park environment! *
