OBJECTIVE:
Provide the youth in Tipp City and the surrounding areas the opportunity to work on their hitting and fielding in an environment where team standings are secondary.

HOW IT WORKS:
Each league will be divided into teams by age group. The game will use a pitching machine and be manned by a field supervisor/umpire.  Each field will have a scorekeeper. Games will last seven (7) innings with a time limit of one (1)hour and thirty (30) minutes. Run rules can occur after one team leads by twelve (12) runs after four (4) innings.

TEAMS:
The teams will consist of approximately eleven (11) players.
Teams will be divided taking into account car-pooling from areas outside Tipp City.  The teams will elect a captain from their ranks that will be responsible for the batting order and positioning of the players. (The team captain should be one of the older players on the team.)  Each team will field every position on the defense - eight (8) players in the field. (The pitcher is not a fielded position)

GAME PLAY:
Players may play the same position for two innings and then must move.  All players must have the opportunity to play the infield a minimum of three (3) innings per game.  The field supervisor/umpire has the ultimate discretion with regards to official scoring and making safe and out calls.  A screen will be positioned where the catcher would be and any ball hitting the catch net will be called a strike. NO WALKS AND NO BUNTS WILL BE ALLOWED.

Practice:
Practices and games will be played on Saturdays; with Sundays possible for rainouts. Some Double headers may be played.
Practice will begin: Aug. 23rd  2010
Game play begins on: Aug.28th or 29th, 2010, ending October 3rd.
 

A league homerun derby will be held on or around Oct. 3rd, 2009 & will  to be followed by an awards presentation.
