Game Format

Our games are structured as pickup games, emphasizing fun, participation, and skill development. We divide the participants into teams based on age and skill level, ensuring balanced and competitive matchups. The teams are formed on-site before each game to give everyone an equal chance to play and make new friends. We will not keep score and rules will be explained at the start of each game.

Safety Measures

The safety of our players is our top priority. We require all participants to wear appropriate footwear and helmets while batting. Our coaches and volunteers are trained to supervise the games and ensure a safe playing environment. A first aid kit will be available on-site for any minor injuries.

Sportsmanship and Values

We strongly emphasize good sportsmanship, teamwork, and respect for others. Our league fosters an inclusive and supportive atmosphere where players learn valuable life skills alongside baseball skills. We encourage all participants to demonstrate fairness, integrity, and respect towards teammates, opponents, coaches, and officials.

Parent/Guardian Involvement

Parents and guardians are encouraged to be actively involved in our league. You can support your child by attending games, cheering them on, and volunteering as a coach or assistant if needed. We value your involvement and believe that a strong parent-community partnership contributes to a positive experience for the young athletes.
