FallBall Regina
In Fall Ball, the emphasis is on development and fun, so please keep that in mind. It is not the intent that a AAA pitcher is put in at the end to win the game for example. Players should be given opportunities to play at positions that they are interested in but didn't get much of a chance at during regular season play. However, if a player in a certain position seems to be putting himself or others at risk due to a lack of skill then that is not the intent of Fall Ball either. Keep the encouragement level high and accentuate the positive is a motto to remember for Fall Ball.
A team's first game of the day will start with guest coaches from Professional players, Red Sox, Midget Coaches, etc working with the team 30 minutes prior to game time. The guest coaches will lead this teaching/warm up time.
Pitchers are to pitch no more than 2 innings per game and depending on how many pitchers there are, try to make sure the group of pitchers have been all used before someone pitches again in the second game.
Players are limited to two (2) innings per game at any one position. All players will play a minimum 3 innings per game.
No games will be defaulted due to less than 9 players. Teams can play with less OR it would be prefered that players be transfered to that team for the purpose of maximizing playing time for everyone involved.
Practices are not expected during Fall Ball. If a team wishes to practice, attendance is expected to be optional and not affect playing time or position.
