  • LEAGUE FAQ

    Who is eligible to play in the Fall Leagues?

    Incoming 2026-2029 grads are eligible.


    When are league games played?

    All league games are played on Sundays unless otherwise noted (only exception may be the All-Star Game). Leagues typically run for 5 Sundays which includes a League Tourney. The season finishes up with the HSFBL All-Star Games for selected players.


    Can I play on the same team as my friends or high school/travel teammates?

    Yes, players have the opportunity to request up to 3 players under the "Teammate Request" section of their online registration. When we set rosters, we attempt to honor teammate requests. However, with State HS Athletic Assn rules, we may only be able to have a set number (4-5 players) from the same HS on a team. We also attempt to balance positions and experience on teams which may periodically cause us to be unable to fulfill a request.


    When will I know what team I am placed on?

    Rosters are not posted until the 2 days before the League officially begins. EX. Rosters will be posted online the Friday before the 1st Sunday game(s). We will remind all families to log-in and check their league dashboard for rosters/schedule and to read our 'League Info Document' before their first game.


    Are there any practices during the League?

    No, there are no practice commitments. Only games.


    When do we receive our Jersey Top and Bat(s)?

    All players will arrive early to their 1st game on opening day to receive their Jersey Top, plus any bat(s) they ordered during registration. 


    What do players need to bring to a game?

    Players must have a wood bat as this is a wood bat league. Players are responsible for bringing their own equipment, baseball pants, and hat. Players typically wear their HS or Travel Team hat.


    What if I cannot make a game due to an emergency or major commitment?

    If you cannot attend due to an emergency or major commitment, please contact us by the Wednesday prior to your absence at HSFallBaseball@gmail.com


    **IMPORTANT: Please include player's name, league, team, date of absence, and reason for being absent. Otherwise, we expect that you will be in attendance each week. Your team and other teams in the league count on you to be there!

  • LEAGUE OVERVIEW/RULES

    We provide an atmosphere for players to have fun, compete, work on their game, and develop as a player.


    This is a Wood Bat League. 

    Players must swing with a wood bat. Every player has the option to purchase HD Wood Maple Bat(s) from Phoenix Bats for 50% off at the time of registration only. This is the best deal you will find anywhere in store or online.


    Each league location combines D1 and D2 players to create teams or separates D1 and D2 players into 2 Leagues (based on # of players available).

    Division 1 players typically have HS Varsity experience (or Tier 1-4 player). Division 2 players do not typically have any Varsity experience (or Tier 4-6 player).


    Teams formed by our League typically consist of 11-14 players. 

    Players register for the league individually, and request teammates. Rosters are set based on teammate requests, high school, position(s) played, playing experience, and State Athletic Assn Rules.


    Games are 6 innings in length. 

    No new inning is started after 1:40. If an inning is started, it must be completed. No drop dead rules are enforced. We enforce a 10 run rule after 4 completed innings.


    A continuous batting order will be used throughout the entire season. 

    This is designed to give all players an equal # of at-bats. 


    Players choose up to 2 defensive positions on their registration form. 

    We set rosters based on positions chosen on the registration form. Coaches work to rotate players defensively to allow equal playing time while keeping the games competitive for each team during the season.


    Pitchers can expect to throw between 1-3 innings per outing.

    This is dependent on the # of available pitchers on the roster each week and pitch count. Coaches are in charge of setting the pitching rotation to keep games competitive. Coaches use their best judgement to allow pitchers opportunities to pitch throughout the season.


    Each player receives a jersey top with a number on the back. 

    Players must wear this jersey top to every game. Players will hit according to the # on their jersey top.


    Players are responsible for their own equipment.

    This includes your own wood bat, helmet, glove, baseball pants, hat, and catcher's gear. 


    Team Dugout Coaches are selected by the Site Directors at each league location. 

    Coaches are experienced coaches with the players' best interests in mind. Teams may have a different coach each week. This does not affect playing time, batting order, or pitching rotation.


    Arguing/Being Disrespectful with an umpire will not be tolerated. 

    We have a zero tolerance policy. If found being disrespectful, player/parent will be removed from the game/stands immediately by the site director and escorted from the facilities.
