League Frequently Asked Questions
8Who is eligible to play in the Fall Leagues?
Incoming 2025-2028 grads are eligible. A coach recommendation is suggested and encouraged for 2026 grads.
When are league games played?
All league games are played on Tuesday unless otherwise noted. Leagues run for 5-6 Tuesday followed by the Tourney.
Can I play on the same team as my friends or high school/travel teammates?
Yes, players have the opportunity to request other players under the “Teammate Request” section of their online registration. When we set rosters, we attempt to honor teammate requests. However, with State HS Athletic Assn rules, we may only be able to have a set number (4-5 players) from the same HS on a team. We also attempt to balance positions and experience on teams which may periodically cause us to be unable to fulfill a request.
When will I know what team, I am placed on?
Rosters are not posted until the 2 days before the League officially begins. EX. Rosters will be posted online the Friday before the 1st Tuesday game(s).
Are there any practices during the League?
No, there are no practice commitments. Only games.
When do we receive our Jersey Top?
All players will arrive early to their 1st game on opening day to receive their Jersey Top. Players are responsible for bringing their own equipment, baseball pants, and hat. Players typically wear their HS or Travel Team hat.
Attendance is mandatory, but what if I cannot make it due to an emergency or major commitment?
If you cannot attend due to an emergency or major commitment, please contact us by the Friday prior to your absence at jimmy@gameday.productions. **IMPORTANT: Please include the player’s name, team, date of absence, and reason for being absent. Otherwise, we expect that you will be in attendance each week. We set teams at only 11-13 players per team to allow players maximum playing time, so your teammates and other teams in the league count on you to be there.
When is the registration deadline for my league? Regular Registration is August 1st. Late registrations are accepted until the 1st game of the season depending on availability.
League Rules
LEAGUE RULES
We provide an atmosphere where players have fun, compete, work on their game, and grow as a player!
- This is a Wood Bat League. Players must swing with a wood bat.
- Each league location combines Division 1 and 2 players to create teams or separates Division 1 and 2 players into 2 separate leagues based on # of players available. Division 1 players typically have HS Varsity experience (or Tier 1-4 player). Division 2 players do not typically have any Varsity experience (or Tier 4-6 player).
- Players are responsible for their own equipment (helmet, glove, and catcher’s gear).
- Teams typically consist of 11-13 players. Players register for the league individually, and request teammates. Rosters are set based on teammate requests, high school, position(s) played, playing experience, and State Athletic Assn Rules.
- Games are 6 innings in length. However, no new inning is started after 1:35. If an inning is started, it must be completed. No drop-dead rules are enforced.
- We do not have a run rule during the regular season. We will enforce a 10 run rule after 4 completed innings during all tournament play.
- A continuous batting order will be used throughout the entire season. This is designed to give all players an equal # of at-bats. Each player receives a dri-fit shirt with a jersey number on the back. Players must wear this jersey top to every game. Players will hit according to the # on their jersey top.
- Players choose up to 2 defensive positions on their registration form. We set rosters based on positions chosen on the registration form. Coaches work to rotate players defensively and allow equal playing time while keeping the games competitive for each team during the season.
- Depending on the # of pitchers on a roster and # of games being played that day, pitchers can expect to throw between 1-3 innings per outing. Coaches are in charge of setting the pitching rotation each week to keep games competitive while working to allow pitchers opportunities to pitch throughout the season.
- Team Dugout Coaches are selected by the Site Directors at each league location. They will be experienced coaches with the players’ best interests in mind. Teams may have a different coach each week. This does not affect playing time, batting order, or pitching rotation.
- Arguing/Cussing/Being Disrespectful with an umpire will not be tolerated. We have a zero tolerance policy. If found being disrespectful, player/parent will be removed from the game/stands immediately by the site director and escorted from the facilities.
