Announcement
Coaches:
- Make a copy of the league rules and keep it with you at each game. There are new rules that everyone needs to know, including the umpires. New for this season are the 20-15-12 run rule (#18), the designated courtesy runners (rule #14), and the foul balls (rule #25). If you have a copy of the rules with you, it may be helpful if controversy arises.
- Know who the home team is by looking on your schedule. The home team is listed first. The home team is responsible for providing bases for the game, including the double (safety) base.
- NO metal spikes.
- NO drinking alcohol during or after the game.
- Be on time for your game. We do everything we can to avoid a forfeit, but it is not fair to the other team if they have to wait to play, then have a shortened game due to the time limit of 1 hour and 15 min. Have the umpire fee ($20 per team) and the game ball ready for the umpire at ground rules. Hustle on and off the field. Warmups are not needed between innings.
- Both teams need to keep score to avoid conflict late in a close ballgame.
- EVERYONE needs to pick up their trash after their game. This includes water bottles too.
- Winning teams - call the Rec Dept office after your game to report the score.
