Frequently Asked Questions

Practices start at the end of April and run until the season starts, somewhere around the third week of May.  Coaches determine practice times and days based on their schedule.

Specific game days by league will be determined after registration ends and it is determined how many teams we have in each league and which leagues we will be playing in.  Most games take place during the week.

Games are played at "The Fields" sports complex located at 8938 Broadview Road. However, some leagues do play surrounding communities and away games may be played at alternate locations.

You need to first register in the age appropriate league then submit a league change form.  

After the registration deadline, we will review and either accept or deny the change. If your request is denied, you can receive a refund on your registration fee if you choose.

League changes are only accepted based on the skill level of the player or to play with kids in his or her own grade.  We do not allow league changes so players can play with siblings, play for a particular team, for ride sharing purposes or convenience.

We allow one friend request during registration.

High school age leagues are all required to use BBCOR bats. BBCOR stands for “Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution.” This standard regulates how much energy is lost during the bat’s contact with the baseball. The higher the number a bat registers in the test, the more trampoline effect it has. The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) decided that 0.50 would be the maximum value a BBCOR bat could achieve; which is only slightly higher than that of a wood bat. All BBCOR certified bats must also have a barrel diameter no greater than 2”, a length to weight ratio no greater than -3 and a length that does not exceed 36”. All BBCOR bats will have a BBCOR certified label.

All baseball bats used in our league are to be drop 10 (-10) or lower. The "drop weight" is the difference between the length and weight of the bat. A drop 9 or -9 bat would be legal. A drop 11 or -11 would be illegal.
