2012 SUNDAY FALL DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE
2012 SUNDAY FALL DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE 4 TEAMS—4 WEEKS OF PLAY x 2 GAMES EACH DAY = 56 INNINGS OF DEVELOPMENT About the Fall League
GAME DATES & PROTOCOL
The UW-Stevens Point Fall Development League was initiated in 2008 as a means of providing increased developmental and competitive baseball opportunities for middle school and high school student-athletes in Central Wisconsin. Started as a four-week season consisting of players from a small representation of schools, the league has grown in popularity as fall baseball has become a more normative competitive experience for high school student-athletes. Our goal is to improve each player’s skill set, game knowledge, competitive toughness, and character through participation in the league.
• All games are 7 innings in length with a 110-minute time limit/game. • Each team will play a doubleheader on each of the following Sundays: Sept. 2, 9, 16, 23 • Doubleheaders will at 9:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. • If games are lost due to inclement weather, they will be made up on Saturday, Oct. 6. • If multiple dates are lost to the weather, adjustments to the schedule will be made accordingly or vouchers will be given for reduced-cost attendance at a 2012-13 Pointer Camp. • There will be no refunds given for player absences or for games lost due to inclement weather. • Cost to participate in the Fall League is $125. • There will be no reductions in cost based upon availability. As a courtesy, please communicate notice of one’s absence prior to game day.
Please read the instructions and protocol that we have developed to maintain consistency and fair selection for players into the league. Upon registration, you will receive a game schedule & playing rules.
Criteria for Participation Due to the increasing popularity of the league, as well as WIAA sanctions regarding the number of high school teammates that can play on the same team during the non-traditional season, we have developed the following parameters regarding enrollment and participation in our league: 1. Priority will be given to past participants in the league. 2. Other newcomers to the league will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis (registration is confirmed once all requisite forms & fees are received by Pat Bloom). 3. Regarding age of participants—the league is designed for players in grades 8-10. If your son is entering 7th grade, please understand our policy and be willing to wait for a spot to open up prior to the start of the fall league season. 6. FULL PAYMENT & THE REGISTRATION FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED BEFORE A SPOT IS GUARANTEED IN THE LEAGUE. NO EXCEPTIONS!! 7. Once the registration and full payment have been received, you will receive two universitymandated forms via email. Both forms must be submitted prior to the first game date for your son to participate.
INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY In the case of inclement weather, an email will be sent to a distribution list consisting of each player within the Fall League. An updated voicemail greeting will also be left on Coach Bloom’s office phone (715-346-4412).
