SUPER MINORS 9-10 YRS

The super minors division will be player pitch and will play by similar little league rules as our majors division. This division will be traveling. They will generally play the late time slots Monday – Friday, Saturday. Attendance to games and practices will be required. Your coach will ask that you participate with him/her 3-4 times a week. This could be 3 games or 3 practices or any combination of the 2 depending on game schedules. Yes thing come up but with technology at our fingertips coaches should know as soon as you know if your child is not going to make a practice or game. No call no show’s will have consequences.

Some basics you should expect your child to get out of playing Super Minors are:

1.       Basic pitching fundamentals

2.       Home plate catching fundamentals

3.       More position specific fundamentals

4.       Communicating with your team during the game

5.       Dugout behavior and good sportsmanship (COACH WILL NEED HELP)

Playing the game:

1.       Have team meet at the ball park 45 minutes prior to game time for warm-ups.

2.       Away team coach will pick up concessions bag at Talley’s.

3.       Have your lineups ready and turned into announcer 10 minutes prior to game time.

4.       Have players toe the foul line 5 minutes prior to game time for anthem and little league pledge.

5.       Watch your times we must be consistent (start & finish)

6.       Umpires required hopefully they will be provided

7.       Five runs in an inning ends the inning this will help with time, blowouts, and pitching frustration for the younger children.

8.       Line kids up on foul lines slap hands say good game and take a lap around the bases.

9.       Have two volunteers (NOT COACHES) rake the infield.

10.    Announcer will double count concession money, seal bag and put it in drop bag. Leave for next game, if no second game then away coach will return bag to Talley’s.

During the game please be supportive to the coach, players, and volunteers. Please ask the coach if they need help with anything.

**These rules are consistent with what other leagues are currently doing as well. However, house rules can apply so please keep this in mind when traveling to other fields. The coaches and umpires will review the rules prior to the game. If you have questions or concerns regarding how a game is being played please speak with your coach. We are representing Johannesburg-Lewiston and would appreciate if you and your child conduct yourself using manners and sportsmanship. Everyone who participates with Little League does on a volunteer basis!
