Fall Baseball Structure
Midget Age Groups
For midget ages which are 7 and 8 yrs of age
there will be a mixture of skills and drills work which is
basically practice with a focus on skills that are not
typically developed during the normal spring season. For
example, bunting and baserunning skills in addition to
position skills (catching and pitching) will be
reviewed. The plan is to do the skills and drills
workouts for a few weeks and then organize scrimmages with the
players or bring in teams from outside the league to scrimmage
our teams. This is a great learning experience for these
players as there is more of a focus on developing specific
player skills which we dont always have time to do during the
spring season. It will also be an excellent time for
kids that might not have previous experience playing baseball
to join our league and work on skills that they will need for
the upcoming spring 2011 season. Fall ball will only be
held on Sunday afternoon there will be no practices during the
week.
Minor Division Age Groups
This division is for the 9 and 10 year old age
groups. The 9s and 10s will play in the District 27 fall
baseball league and they will play games on Sunday afternoons
typically at either 1pm or 3pm. Games will be at our
UPLL complex and also away at other leagues in our district
(Exton, Berwyn-Paoli, Pottstown, Coventry, Great valley, Lower
Merion, Devon-Strafford, Lower perk etc). About 50% of
the games will be away games. There will be separate
teams for the 9s and 10s and we will limit the number of
players on any team to 12 players so all players can get
playing time. As the sizes of teams are limited and the
number of teams are also limited, registration preference will
be given to players who have previously played little league
baseball for UPLL. We divide the talent on the teams evenly so
that the teams are evenly matched so it is difficult for us to
take requests for certain players to play together on any
certain team. If you have a request for purposes of
sharing rides we will do our best to honor it but we can not
promise that all requests will be honored. Fall ball will only
be held on Sunday afternoon there will be no practices during
the week. Initially there might be a few practices
during the week before the first game in order to set the
teams and it is the managers decision as to whether they want
to hold practices during the week for the rest of the
season. If they do decide to hold practices those
practices will be optional for the players as we understand
players might have other commitment for other sports during
the fall.
