Divisions will not be scheduled for the Fall League unless at least four teams are registered.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do we have to stay with our Spring 2008 Ken Berry team?  No, you can affiliate with a different team to play in Fall League.

My 2008 team does not want to play Fall League, can I still play?  Yes, talk to parents, coaches, and players from other teams and get together a total of 10-12 players from various teams and put together a team.

Is there a player list of unaffiliated players that can be assigned out to a Fall League team?  Yes, we are keeping a list of all individual players expressing interest in playing and will do our very best to get them onto a Fall League team.

Will we play by the 2008 age division rules?  No, the Fall League will be based on the player's age in 2009 and will play based on 2009 age division rules.

This is an excellent opportunity to play ball and refine your team's skills.  A player list will be maintained for those players who wish to play fall baseball but do not currently have a team. Every effort will be made to place individual players on a team, but the league will not guarantee individual player assignment to a team. There are no individual player league fees. Any fees imposed by a team that a  player affiliates with will be between the player and that team, and the sole responsibility of the player. The league will not be responsible for resolving differences involving team equipment, uniforms or finances.  There are no player participation rules in the Fall League. Each team will determine for itself who starts and the amount of playing time each player receives. Any questions or concerns about a players' playing time should be directed to that team's manager.
