9U Game and Practice Information
- First three dates will be practices. Colour indicates what diamond you are on.
- The rest of the schedule will be game play with the following modifications:
- Everybody bats regardless of the amount of outs the defensive team may achieve;
- If a batter is put out (e.g., ground ball out, fly ball out, tagged on the bases), the team can still record the out but the runner will remain on-base for baserunning development;
- Runners cannot advance on a throwing error to first or third;
- Recommend player uses a tee if they swing and miss on five(5) good pitches to hit
- Defensively, teams must play with six players only. The remaining players will go with a coach to the outfield and practice specific skills and drills during their defensive inning. Teams will ensure players rotate every inning.
