2008 BC Baseball League
Fall Season Information Update
(Last Updated: July 10, 2008)
This following information is about the BC Baseball League’s Fall League. This information will allow teams to reserve a spot in the appropriate fall division of the BC Baseball League. The BC Baseball League’s Fall Season Program emphasizes development in a competitive atmosphere. We utilize a continuous batting order during the fall in order that teams may use this time to move players into positions that might not otherwise play in the spring/summer months as they begin their planning for the next season. A continuous batting order is really free substitution of all players at the game. Coaches also have the option of not using this tool simply by declaring their intent to use a continuous batting order or not for that game. Also, the Fall Season provides an opportunity for those 8U teams to experience kid-pitch before the start of their 9U season next spring.
The 20078Fall League will be played on Saturdays and/or Sundays, similar to the past few years. We will schedule 8u, 9u and 10u, 11u and 12u age groups on Saturday afternoons and/or evenings., although some Sunday games could be a possibility in case of inclement weather. We also will schedule 13u and 14u age groups on Sunday afternoons and/or evenings, although some Saturday games could be a possibility in case of inclement weather. As in past years, teams would be scheduled for one doubleheader per week. The 2008 Fall Season again will start with a pre-season tournament (which is included in the cost of the fall season registration) for the 14u to 8u teams. This tournament is scheduled for the Twin Oaks Complex in Columbia on for August 21-24, 2008. The Fall Season league games will begin the weekend after Labor Day, September 6-7, 2008, and conclude no later than October 18-10, 2008, including rain dates. New for 2008 will be a second fall season tournament, scheduled for October 4-5, 2008. (NOTE: Both tournaments will have high school age divisions for 2008.) Both tournaments will be USSSA qualifiers for the 2009 season for all teams.
This packet contains details on all of the fall divisions. Most importantly, it contains a Fall Season Team Application Form. This Team Application Form is due with a $300 reservation fee on or before the Team Application Deadline of Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Following the Team Application Deadline, your team will be registered with the USSSA and your team insurance will be purchased. The remainder of your league fee will be due on or before August 21, 2008. Once your Team Application Form is received, you will be forwarded the remainder of your Team Registration Packet.

For the 2008 Fall Season, we also are planning several Evaluation For Team Placement Dates for players looking to play on 8U through 14U teams with the BC Baseball League in the Fall of 2008 and/or Spring/Summer of 2009.
