Games will be played with a 50 minute time limit. No inning shall start after the time limit expires. Any inning started before the time limit expires will be completed, but it shall not exceed the drop dead time.

No game shall last more than 4 innings.

MANAGER/COACHES:

There are 3 offensive coaches shall be on the field: 1st base, 3rd base, and batting coach. Only 2 defensive coaches shall be permitted on the field and will call outs at the bases. The batting coach is the coach who warns the players at bat about throwing the bat. This coach will determine if the player at bat is out when the bat is thrown. This rule should be explained to the player when it happens (even if the player is not called out) so they understand how dangerous it can be. There are no limits on additional coaches that are located off the playing field.

PLAYERS:

The T-ball division player pool will consist of players attaining league age 5 and no older than league age 6 that were not drafted to a Machine Pitch team.

The T-Ball league teams will be selected from this pool.

MANDATORY PLAY:

Each player must play a minimum of 6 defensive outs. Three of the defensive outs must be at an infield position unless the player is ruled by the Manager and Parent to be in harms way.

All other players will be in the outfield. Outfielders should be positioned far enough behind infield players as to not obstruct the infielders ability to make a play on the ball. Typically this distance should equate to at least 15 feet behind infield position players.

?Underhand pitches can be thrown from the standing position with an arc or overhand pitches can be thrown from one knee on the ground.

Fact Sheet

CSLL 2012 JUNIOR MINOR DIVISION FACT SHEET

Philosophy: Junior Minor Division (also referred to as Machine Pitch) division is known for exciting, action-filled games and noticeable improvement in skills by its players. The goal for our young players at this level is to develop a strong foundation in the principles of sportsmanship and teamwork, and most importantly, having fun learning the fundamentals of baseball. Junior Minor baseball is an enjoyable transition from T-Ball and an instructional introduction to traditional baseball. Batters are allowed up to six pitches thrown by a pitching machine.

Ages: Typically this division is comprised of players with ages (as of April 30th) of 7 and 8 years old. In certain instances where an individual has advanced skill and awareness, has reached age 6 by April 30th AND has played at least one Spring season in T-Ball, he/she will be provided the opportunity to be evaluated for playing in the Junior Minor Division.

Equipment: CSLL provides players with cap and game jersey, baseballs, bats, batting helmets, and catchers gear. Parents will be responsible for player pants, socks, and belt and glove. The glove should be the softest and largest the player can handle. Well broken-in leather gloves work best and will enable the child to catch and hold onto the ball better than a smaller, stiff, plastic version. The teams manager will inform parents of the team jersey color and will recommend what color socks, belt and pants to purchase. Rubber baseball cleats are recommended.

Players are permitted to bring their own batting helmets and/or bat provided that they meet Little League standards. NO Big Barrel, composite or softball bats will be allowed during the regular season. Wood bats, or metal bats that have a barrel diameter not to exceed 2 1/4 inches are typically acceptable for play. Be advised that a composite bat (one that has a metal shell, but a woven composite of fibers on the inside of the barrel portion of the bat) may not be approved for use in 2011 by Little League International, so you may want to avoid the purchase of such type of bat. At this level, it is recommended that players use a bat length of 27 or 28 inches and a drop of -8 to -13. (i.e. 28 inches and 15 ounces).

PRE-SEASON

Coaches: The Junior Minor division commonly fields between 15-18 teams with an average of 12 players per team. We need your help in Managing and Coaching teams. We are asking you to volunteer now to begin to experience the joys of providing our young children a fun and lifelong baseball experience. We will be holding a pre-season coaching and player clinics where professional baseball instructors will review practice drills, routines, and skills development. Please check off the Manager or Assistant Coach box on your registration form or email the CSLL coach coordinator at: coachcoordinator_collegestationlittleleague.com to express your interest and discuss the possibilities of being involved.

Player Clinics: Players and parents are encouraged to attend skill clinics that are provided by CSLL to help ensure that players, parents and coaches develop a clear understanding that the skill development and fundamentals of baseball will be of foremost importance each season. These clinics are typically scheduled prior to team assignments and formal practice sessions. Information on the dates will be available on the CSLL website.

Team Formation: Teams are formed via an electronic snake draft in early February. Each team is allowed 2 coaches and their children on a team, then the remaining players are evenly distributed across the teams by age. Requests for specific teams, players or coaches will not be honored with the exception of siblings. Once the teams are formed, your coach will contact you and inform you of practice schedules and other essential information.

REGULAR SEASON

Please remember that your coach is a volunteer, so please give them your support. Parent participation is a key to the success of our league. Responsible parents are needed as managers, coaches, sponsors, team parents and scorekeepers. If you havent volunteered to coach, please volunteer to help kids love having Mom and/or Dad involved in their team activities.

Rules: League rules require players play both infield and outfield positions and every player hits, whether or not they are currently playing in the field. Games are six innings or one hour and 30 minutes; no new inning will start after one hour and 15 minutes, and are umpired. A team can score a maximum of five runs in an inning. A full set of rules is available on the CSLL website.

Practices and Games: Practices are scheduled to start in early March and will consist of at least two practices per week. Games for this division will begin early April and consist of two games per week typically on Mondays and Thursdays (unless there are make-up games). All practices and games will be held at Southwood Athletic Complex or Wayne Smith Fields. The regular season will comprise approximately 12 games and will finish toward the end of May.

POST SEASON

CSLL Junior Minors are given the opportunity to participate in an end of season tournament against other teams within District 33. If your child decides to participate on one of the teams, the season will likely extend into last week of June. All children to be eligible for the tournament teams must live in the CSLL boundary.

GAME RULES

The pitching machine should be placed in front of the mound with the rear leg touching the pitching rubber. The pitching machine speed should be adjusted so that it throws a flat pitch.

This judgment must be made by the umpire.

?Play stops when a return throw to the pitcher is made by a player after a live ball. An overthrow on a return to the pitcher will not be considered an overthrow. All play will stop at that time, and advancement, or return of runners on base will be at the judgment of the umpire. When the umpire stops play and a runner is more than halfway to the base in front of him, the runner is allowed to continue to that base. If the runner is less than halfway, he must return to the previous base. The umpire will use his best judgment to determine where the runners are placed.
