Scheduling considerations: The goal is to have competitive games. Every effort will be made to have teams play in an appropriate competitve level. Some teams may play each other twice. Please contact Rich Schiotis with any scheduling questions: tel# 674-5719, Email = schiotis@nycap.rr.com
Managers must notify Rich Schiotis immediately if it is possible they will not be able to field a team. Umpires need to be notified 2 days in advance of any changes. Rescheduling can be done if there is enough advance notice. No refunds of registration fees will be given for no-shows. If a team is a no-show with no notice they will be removed from the rest of the schedule.
Host leagues will handle all umpire payments and supply the game balls. The umpire fee is $60 per game - only one umpire for all games.
Fall Ball 2009 Rules (similar to Hudson Mohawk's 2008 Fall Ball rules)
Fall Ball 2009 is sponsored by the leagues that are hosting games.
Some highlights:
1. Teams will have to pay in advance (by August 24th) - $70 for each Sunday
(2 games).
2. Teams can choose a competitive level (Red, Blue or White) with Red the most
competitive and White the least.
3. There are no standings or trophies in Fall Ball. We
want the girls to improve their skills, learn good sportsmanship and have fun.
4. Fall Ball will be on 4 consecutive Sundays starting 9/13/09. A fifth Sunday
may be used if there are rainouts.
5. Teams do not have to sign up for all 4 Sundays - sign up is separate for
each Sunday.
6. There are no rosters. Girls should play at their age level for next year.
7. Teams are responsible for obtaining insurance for all their players.
