2009 Season
Home field collects $4 per person above 18 to help with umpire fees and balls. In the event of a double header, the home field collects gate fees, so the home field pays umpires for both games and provide baseballs for first game. The visiting team will bring baseballs for the second game.
It has come to our attention, some field do not charge at gate. Please let parents know that at away games they will be charged. Gate collectors have no say so over the fees. We do not need parents giving them a hard time.
Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
The Summer League must play 7 innings per game.
Double headers MUST be two 7 inning games.
This is in effect for High School and Sophomore League.
