Schedule - Publish Date / Common Opponent
Aug 16, 2024
Coaches,
The schedules are going through a final scrub process at some point this weekend. Our target is to have the schedules publish no later than Monday evening, 8/19. Once published, we may have a minor adjustment or two.
We worked extremely hard in making this seasons schedule work for as many team exceptions as possible based on the received conflict forms. In the event your team sees a date or two that needs to change, it is the league's practice to have coaches review their opponents schedule and find a team on their schedule that is a common opponent of yours and see if they can switch out games. Fore example...
All teams are required to use league approved ProNine baseballs for league play. No other ball is permitted. The league purchased baseballs in bulk, at a wholesale price, and sell them back to the teams at cost. The league approved baseballs can be purchased via our website, from the Store. Game baseballs for TBall and Coach Pitch will be provided.
Below are a few rule reminders as the teams prepare to take the field this season...
