Age range: 7-8 years old (Registration is for players born between 9/1/2015 and 8/31/2017. Registration fees are NON-REFUNDABLE.)
Description: This age group is intended to be more like "real baseball." For example: Three strikes are an out, and three outs end an inning. Teams practice once and play twice a week, with one game during the week and one game on Saturdays.
(If there are enough registrations for this age group, the division will be divided into teams with predominantly 7-year-olds and teams with predominantly 8-year-olds.)
Notes:
- Players will receive pitches from a designated offensive coach
- Each batter will receive five (5) pitches from a designated offensive coach. After five unsuccessful attempts or three strikes, the batter is out.
- One designated defensive coach (preferably the manager) will call defensive outs
- There will be no umpires.
- The final say on rules questions will be the home team scorekeeper (See Little League Rule Book/supplemental rules for guidance)
- The designated defensive and offensive coach responsibilities will switch after each half-inning
- Dry Creek STRONGLY DISCOURAGES aggressive base running at this age level
The Futures App:
Dry Creek Baseball is excited to announce that starting in Summer 2024 we will
