Plainfield Pee Wee: 7U Sunday Showcase

Friday, January 13



2013 7U Sunday Showcase

What is Sunday Showcase baseball?

This program will be expanding in the next few years to include 2 teams for each age group. For the past few years we've seen an increase in the number of kids that are interested in Sunday Showcase as well as a general baseball participation increase. By giving the opportunity for more kids to be involved, we believe this will make our entire baseball program stronger down the road. More kids will get more opportunity to develop and grow good fundamental baseball skills.

Sunday Showcase baseball is:
• A season of games played against teams from other communities throughout central Indiana 
• Played concurrently with PPAI regular season games and practices - and will not conflict with them 
• An excellent player development experience for the player with a high level of baseball interest and more advanced skills
• Typically involves games scheduled on Sunday afternoons and evenings from April through mid-June
• Advanced learning and instruction oriented in a competitive play environment
• Volunteer supported by parents of players selected to the teams
• A program coordinated, supported, and structured through PPAI

What are the age limit rules?
PPAI (similar to other leagues in the area) has made a ruling on kids being able to ‘evaluate up’. Age determinations for Pee Wee and Tee Ball are how old your child is on May 1st.

Eligible for 7U year old Sunday Showcase teams:
6 year olds that evaluated into Pee Wee
7 year olds in first grade

Eligible for 8U year old Sunday Showcase teams:
8 year olds

A 7 year old trying to evaluate up on the 8 year old team will need to come to the 8 year old evaluation time. If the 7 year old doesn’t make the 8 year old team, they will have their score eligable to particapate on the 7 year old team. They will not have to evaluate twice.

NOTE: Sunday Showcase baseball is NOT a guarantee to play on post-season Plainfield 7 All-star team. All-star teams are selected based on player performance during recreation league play only.

Parent Commitment level
If you as a parent are unwilling to commit your Sunday afternoons to the Sunday Showcase program - we completely understand. We just ask that you don’t join this program half-hearted and end up missing games and practices. That takes spots away from other players that could ultimately benefit from the extra development and coaching.
