It's not too early to think about FALL BALL!! We will try and field the following teams. This depends on many factors, including but not limited to: Manager Interest and Player interest.
1. Juniors Fall BAll - this is for players who will be Little League Age 13 or 14 by APRIL 30th, 2010. (Players younger or older may not play in this division; you must be LL age 13 or 14.
2. 12U - This is for players who intend on trying out for MAJORS next year. Recommended LL age is players age 11 and 12 by April 30th 2010. *Age is recommendation only. Players who are younger intending on trying out for Majors next year are welcome in this Fall Division, but player must be at least LL age 10 by April 30, 2010 for this division.
3. 10U - This is for players who intend on trying out for AAA next year. Recommended LL age is players age 10 and 11 by April 30th, 2010. *Age is only recommendation. Players who are younger or older who intend on trying out for AAA next season are welcome in this Division, but players must be at least LL age 9 by April 20, 2009 for this division.
The goal of FALL BALL is to enhance SKILLS in preparation for next season. While there is some healthy competition, we are striving to keep kids who are interested in baseball from going 9 months without any practice or skill enhancement in between seasons.
Approximate timeline: Fall Ball runs 10 weeks starting the 1st week of September, ending Mid November, with games on SATURDAYS. 1 or 2 practices during the week can be expected as well. We will be playing other teams within the District, so be prepared to travel to local cities like Kent, Auburn, Federal Way, etc....but expect some home games as well.
Cost is $65 for 10U and 12U. (Juniors cost TBD depending on field rental charges). FMELL will provide a jersey which will be collected at the end of the Fall Ball Season. Player will provide own pants based on team color (black or grey) to be determined by the Manager. Failure to return Jersey will result in inability to register for the 2010 Regular Little League season.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact connolly-4@comcast.net. Once registration closes on August 20th, teams will be formed and players contacted no later than the 23rd of August with practice dates/times. Becasue of the short timeline between when registratin closes and practices beginning, there will be NO LATE registrations accepted, so don't delay your interest!! NO EXCEPTIONS!!
Code of conduct and medical release form (new ones needed for Fall Ball) can be located on the website under FORMS. Please mail these along with your Fall Ball registration form.
