Dixie Youth Changes League Age Determination Date From July 31 to April 30
The Dixie Youth Baseball Board of Directors unanimously adopted a change in the league age determination date for its players beginning with the 2006 season.
The league age determination date is the age a player has attained as of a specific date, for the purpose of placing the player in a particular division. Beginning in 2006, the date in all divisions of Dixie Youth Baseball will be April 30 of the current calendar year.
For example: Under the old regulation, a player who turns 13 in May, June, or July of 2006 would have been considered "league-age" 13 for the entire season, despite the fact that said player likely would have played most or all of the regular season (which generally ends in June) without having reached his or her 13th birthday. Under the new regulation, such a player will have a league age of 12 throughout the 2006 season.
For a more detailed Q&A discussion of how this change may affect your child, please visist the official website of Dixie Youth Baseball at www.dixie.org and click on the Dixie Youth ensignia on the left. There is a headline on the next page titled "April 30 Age Cutoff Adopted." Click on that headline and a printable question and answer session will be displayed.
