10U OVERVIEW
The Boys Minors Division is a competitive league with kid pitch being introduced. Both score and team records are tracked throughout the season.
Pre-Season Mandatory evaluations will be at the end of February and you will be notified on the exact date and time they will need to attend. This is not a tryout as all who sign up will play. We use the evaluation process to make the teams as balanced as possible.
During the first four games of the regular season, walks will not be recorded to promote pitcher development. If a “walk” occurs, a team coach will enter the game and pitch to the batter. The batter will then have three swings or five pitches from the coach to put the ball in play. Pitchers are allowed up to two innings per game with pitch counts being monitored for game-to-game usage control.
Managers are strongly encouraged to rotate their players between the infield and outfield to promote development.
The season has 12 regular season games that will start in mid-April and are mostly played at Priory Park. At the end of the season, there will be a double elimination playoff starting in early June, in which all teams are seeded with a blind draw. Teams will play 2 games a week, one game on a weeknight and a game on Saturday. Teams will practice as least once a week, if field space is available there could be more practices.
A hat and team shirt are provided by the league. Players will need to bring their own glove.
