Additional Information

Occasionally there are situations that arise where a player may be eligible for multiple divisions based on their birth date. Please see the additional information below if you believe your child falls into one of these categories.

6 Year Old Play-Up - Derek Holland League

If you have a 6 year old that you feel is ready to move to the Derek Holland League (pitching machine) please use this option. 6 year olds can "play up" a level if two criteria are met:
1) There are spaces available after all 7 & 8 year olds have been placed on a team
2) Your child has been evaluated by a panel of board members at one of the scheduled evaluation sessions and they have been rated as ready to play at that level.

If after the evaluation it is deemed they are ready you will be placed on a team. If after the evaluation it is deemed they are not ready, they will be returned to the t-ball team from the previous season and the difference in registration will be refunded.

Note: If they are selected to "play up" at this time, they will play 3 years in this division. We do not allow any other age to play up a division.
