There is an important change this year that will impact roughly 25% of our registered players. In order to comply with the age requirements adopted by every sanctioned baseball and softball organization in the State, we are changing the league eligibility dates for all registrants. These organizations had made these changes a few years ago and we did not change our dates to avoid inconvenience for some of our players. However, circumstances have changed that has necessitated this action. Most of our leagues are playing other towns as part of our regular season in addition to the traveling seasons. We are consistently competing against teams that have older players. This is not being done merely to enhance competitiveness but also to reduce the risk of injury and lessen liability.

 Some players who are affected by this change will probably not be happy; they may be upset as the players they had been playing with advance to the next league. This is an unfortunate and unavoidable consequence of this action. However, the long-term benefits outweigh the short-term pain. Our players will be competing on a more level playing field.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but it is a necessary step for us to align ourselves with the established guidelines throughout the area. Below are the amended cut-off dates. Thank you for your understanding.
