Medway Youth Baseball will again participate in the Upper Charles River Baseball League (UCRL) in 2008. This is a recreational league for players of all skill levels who wish to continue to play baseball after the completion of the spring season. There are no tryouts required. Any player in AA, AAA or Majors (or any 9, 10, 11 or 12 yr. old that did not play spring baseball) is eligible to play in the UCRL. The Upper Charles River League consists of teams from Medway, Holliston, Hopkinton, Dover-Sherborn, Westwood and Medfield. Games are played on weeknights from late June to early August. Each team will play a 10 game season. Cassidy fields are not used in the UCRL due to the MYB Tondorf Tournament so all UCRL games require travel.
There are 2 divisions (9/10 and 11/12) in the league based upon age. We plan to submit 2 teams in each division as we did last year. The registration fee is $60 per player. This fee is used to cover the costs of the fields, uniforms and umpires. The registration fee will be collected prior to the start of the season once the UCRL rosters have been set.
If you want to participate in the league, please complete the attached registration form (can also be found in Handouts Section) and return it to the Concession Stand at Cassidy Field. Alternatively, you can send an email message to medwayyb@yahoo.com with the same information. Either way, the deadline for registration is June 2nd.
It is important to note that the UCRL registration process is separate from the Tondorf and Sizzler process. If you intend to play baseball this summer, you should complete a UCRL registration form. You do not have to pay the $60 fee to register for the UCRL until the rosters are complete. If you tryout for a Tondorf and Sizzler Team, but are not placed on one of those teams, you are NOT automatically placed on a UCRL team unless you have submitted an UCRL registration form.
Players will only be allowed to play on one summer league baseball team (either Tondorf, Sizzler or UCRL).
If you have any questions about the UCRL, please contact Mike Newman at (508) 533-3140 or send an email to medwayyb@yahoo.com.
