Spring League FAQ
Spring Tee Ball/Baseball/Softball
Q-Can my child be assigned to a particular team, and/or the same team as a friend?
A-In the Tee Ball League, we attempt to honor requests for team assignment or assignment with a friend, but we have to place a higher priority on balancing not only the total number of players on each team, but also the number of players of each age on each team. The large majority of assignment requests in Tee Ball are honored.
Unfortunately, in leagues other than Tee Ball, requests to be assigned to a particular team or to be assigned together with a friend are not honored. In order to ensure fairness to all teams, these leagues must follow very rigid player assignment procedures and special requests are not considered regardless of the reason for the request. Siblings will automatically be assigned to the same team unless requested otherwise.
If, however, there is one team or coach that you wish to avoid, this request will be honored if noted at the time of registration or before team assignments are made.
Q-Can my child be automatically assigned to a particular team if I agree to sponsor that team?
A-We are very grateful to our team sponsors, but you cannot pick a team for your child simply by agreeing to be the team sponsor. If you agree to be a sponsor, however, we will ensure that your sponsorship is used for the team to which your child is assigned under our normal team assignment procedures.
Q-Can my child be assigned to a younger age group due to inexperience, lack of skill, size, or minor disability?
A-Sorry, no. Exceptions for allowing a child to play in an age group lower than his/her actual age (as determined by the appropriate age determination date) are only considered for those with a significant physical or mental disability. Simply being inexperienced, unskilled, small in size, shy, A.D.D. or other minor disabilities are not considered as possible exceptions for allowing a child to play in a younger group.
Q-Can my child be assigned to an older age group due to advanced skill level?
A-Although we believe the large majority of even highly skilled athletes are better off playing in their normal age group, we realize there are a few for which exceptions are appropriate. A player is allowed to play one year "up" provided the request is made at the time of registration.
Q-What do I need to do if I want to be a coach?
A-There is always a need for some new head coaches (managers) each year, so be sure to check the box on your child's registration form if you're interested in being a team manager. Each League Chairman is responsible for selecting the team managers. If you're not selected as a manager, there probably still will be an opportunity to be an assistant coach.
Q-What equipment/uniform items will I need to get for my child?
A- The answer can vary from league to league.
Q-Will my child need to attend tryouts?
A-We don't have tryouts for any of our leagues. Returning players within a league are automatically assigned to their previous year's team unless they request to be placed back into the player pool. Siblings of returning players are also automatically assigned. The child of a team manager is assigned to the team, along with the child of the designated assistant coach. All other new players within a league are assigned through a blind draw that is structured to balance the age distribution and, in older leagues, to also balance the distribution of the more highly skilled players.
EXCEPTIONS: In Tee Ball, all players are assigned to teams in an effort to honor requests as long as a reasonable balance of ages is maintained. Girls' Senior Softball and Women's Open Softball also have provisions for other automatic assignments.
Q-After signing up, when should I expect to hear from my child's coach?
A-League organizational meetings with the team managers will be conducted in mid to late March. Players should expect to hear from a coach by early April.
Q-When will practices begin, how often and when will they take place?
A-Some teams may have their first practice in late March. If your child's team is planning to practice during Spring Break and you have plans to be out of town, don't be concerned, this is very common and your child will not be penalized in any way for absences during Spring Break.
After the games begin, teams normally do not practice more than once each week, and some teams may not practice each week during the season.
Q-When will the games begin and when are they played?
A-Most leagues will begin the week of May 2nd. Games for the Senior Baseball, Girls' Senior and Int. Softball Leagues, and Women's Open Softball will begin in mid to late May.
