FALL BASEBALL 2021 - REGISTRATION OPENS 6/13

***NEW for 2021***

14-year-old High School freshmen can play. Due to the COVID pandemic, changes to the High School Season, and cancellation of most of the High School Summer teams. 

The plan is to run an upper and lower division of 13/14 division. Any team 12, 13 or 14 playing AAA or Majors must play 13/14 division. 

Lower division 13/14 will play:

54ft pitching distance

80ft bases 

Upper division 13/14 will play:

60ft Piching on mounds

90ft bases

The age cutoff date is 5/1/21, which determines your age and age bracket you will be able to play in.

Players can choose to play up in age brackets but not down for any reason. Players under 7 years (as of May 1st) of age may NOT play in the kid pitch division. YOU MUST REGISTER IN YOUR AGE GROUP BASED ON YOUR BIRTHDAY. IF YOU ARE REQUESTING TO PLAY UP PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF YOUR REGISTRATION.
 

There are no boundary limits and any individual player(s) or teams are welcome to participate.
 

Coaches bringing a whole or partial team made up of 5 or more Tournament, Major, AAA or even tournament only AA level players will be placed in the next age division. IE: 12-year team has 5 or more players from a Tournament Only AA/Majors/AAA team will play in the 13-14 division.
 

Point of Emphasis – No unregistered league players are allowed to play in any games/tournament for any reason. This is a serious liability issue and will be strictly enforced. Coaches have no authority to approve to play a game if this is suggested.
 

We will take requests for kids to play for a particular coach but will not provide lists of coaches to choose from. Coaches have the final decision of approving this request based on the number of team players. Players can request to play with friends and we’ll try to honor that request wherever possible. If you register at the deadline this may not occur.

Coaches desiring to bring in a full or partial team should email John Rios or Aaron Kretzer as soon as possible prior to the season stating that fact.
 

Volunteers may also notify the league that they are available to Head Coach and indicate age preference and prior experience information.

2021 GUIDELINES FOR AYL BASEBALL GAMES

As a result, our AYL Guidelines will be very flexible and ever-changing to make sure we are as consistent as possible with the Health Department requirements.

First and foremost if anyone, player, coach, or spectator is not feeling well or has any symptoms such as coughing, sneezing or temperature PLEASE stay home so as to not impact the rest of your team and families. Parents are responsible
for their child 

Generic Guidelines:
