Please review page 4 of your coaches manual regarding re-scheduled makeups.  These re-scheduled games must have been played as scheduled. 

If the game was not a complete game, the game will be played over.  A game is considered complete after five (5) innings unless the home team is ahead after 4 1/2 innings.  If weather cancelled the game in the 5th inning or later the score reverts back to the last complete inning and the game is considered completed. 

Please note: Head to Head has always been the RYS first league tie breaker with, if necessary, the second tie breaker being runs allowed.

2010 Rule Change:  For Prep, Minor, & Junior League pitchers are allowed to pitch a maximum of nine (9) outs in a game.  Any pitcher may return to pitch only once per game. 

2010 Rule Clarification:  In the Minor League a runner on third cannot score when there is a runner on first base attempting to steal second base.

For a 2010 T-BALL, COACH PITCH, and ROOKIE (Machine) CMachine) Coaches Manual  CLICK HERE  Click here for the COVER page. As in the past scores are not captured for Rookie, Coach Pitch, and T-Ball.

As a reminder in T-Ball try to keep just 5 players in the infield and rotate players around.  A question came up regarding how many players can be in the infield and it should be just five although we know T-Baller's all tend to go towards the ball.  Discuss with your opposing coach before the game so your both on the same page.

As a reminder, there is absolutely no stealing home in the Prep League - you must get driven home by a hit or forced home on a bases loaded walk.  See the Coaches Manual provided in your picture packet or On-Line above.

RYS offers six (6) BASEBALL Leagues with eligibility determined by age as of September 1st for the season year.   That means league eligibility is based on a player's age as of September 1, 2010.  If eligible, players automatically stay on their team from 2009 or a player can request a new team by selecting the draft box on the registration form.  Some players like to move up with their team, others like to remain with their league eligible age groupings.  New players or players who did not play RYS Baseball in 2009 go into the draft process for team assignment.  All leagues are co-ed play.
