A child with a birthday in this time period may choose to “play up” so he/she may play with current grade level, if currently in fourth grade or above.

Traveling Baseball requires a substantial time commitment from coaches, evaluators and players. It attempts to objectively, as is possible, measure the skills of players and place them where they will be able to most successfully compete. There is no guarantee of an 'A' or 'B' team placement.b)Once tryouts and team selections are completed, it is expected that players will participate on the team to which they are assigned. It is important that each player/parent fulfill their commitment to their assigned team. Teams which are forced to compete with fewer than a full roster are at a decided disadvantage.2.Consequences for Non-participation:a) There will be no refund of registration fees made after the tryouts completed.b) Consistent with the B.A.C. handbook regarding players who make themselves unavailable for part or all of the season, the player will not be allowed to register for Traveling Baseball for the following calendar year.c) If a player is unable to compete on the assigned team because of medical or family emergency, the B.A.C. Traveling Baseball Board shall have the authority to modify or rescind these penalties by a majority vote.Burnsville Traveling BaseballWebsite GuidelinesThe purpose of this set of guidelines is to protect the safety, well-being, and privacy of our players.

Practices for May can be scheduled starting 1 week after scheduling day, which is 4/12 - Jason needs to verify the games on the BTB and MBL website before he can schedule any practices E-mail: FieldCoordinator_BTB@No priority will be given for “AAA” vs. “AA” vs. “A” teams. All times given on a first come/first served basis. No fields are age-group specific. We do have age preferences, but when scheduling gets tight the coordinator will assign fields as needed.Batting cages must be scheduled. Do not assume you have use of a batting cage when you have reserved the practice field. Certain fields have BC (batting cages) ?????????????Practices: Teams assigned to these fields have use of the BC; BC is always associated with the field even though it isn't marked?????????? ?Practices: If a game is scheduled, teams may reserve the BC after a game scheduled on the field starts.?????????????Games: Teams that are scheduled for a game also have the BC and field reserved for ONE hour before game time. After the game starts, the BC is available to be reserved.?The field and the equipment are the coach’s responsibility. Please be sure to return all equipment to the lock box at the field and rake the field when your practice is over.Practice Times:In order to accommodate two practices per weeknight, the following practice times are suggested: 5:00 p.m. –6:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. You may start early if you have the 5:00 p.m. time slot or stay late if you have the 6:30 p.m. slot.Practice times are available on Saturdays and Sundays and can be scheduled in two-hour increments.If your schedule changes and you will not be using your practice field, please call and cancel so that others may use the field. Make Up Games:Remember that all make-up games must also be scheduled through the Field Coordinator. Make-up games will get scheduling priority over practices. It is your responsibility to reschedule your umpire, according to league instructions, for a make-up game.Burnsville Baseball Fields Maintenance (BHS)Remember:These fields are used daily and almost every weekend for practice, games and tournaments Playing on wet fields causes divots in the grass, which last the entire season. Fill in holes on mound and home plate and pack down especially if there is moist clay on mound. Cover mound and home plate and put weights onIt is easier to wet down mound than to dry out mound Sun on tarp will help to make clay hard under tarpsKeep tarps off the grass-the fields are watered during the night, so cover even though no rain in the forecast Always rake away from grass on mound, home plate, and around bases. Always rake base paths the length of the base path, not across the base path The lips where grass meets the dirt is from raking towards the grass Never rake / push water puddles into grass Spread out water with roller or rake. Digging a hole and using a small pail to dip out water is the best way to get rid of puddles. If sun is shining it doesn’t take long to dry out areas. Haul in red rock to fill areas where water stands after rain on the baselines and infield…Not the mound and home plate area! The less diamond dry / bag clay used the better… Diamond dry and bag clay will not pack down once it is used, in order to play again all of the diamond dry used has to be removed and filled in with new clay. If weather is drying, raking lightly and letting areas dry is the best solution to wet areas.Practice/Pregame ProceduresUse a piece of Carpet to stand on when throwing hitting practice from in front of mound.THIS EQUIPMENT PLUS CLAY FOR THE HOLES IN FRONT OF THE MOUND AND AROUND HOMEPLATE IS LOCATED IN THE STORAGE SHED.Never hit in front of backstop or into fences.Never throw or hit off the grass areas around mound or home plate.Standing on the grass instead of dirt areas when hitting infield and outfield practice packs down the ground. Compacted soil is the biggest cause of poor grass growth.Warm up in the outfield and not in front of dugouts. If every team stands on the white foul line to play catch, this area will be destroyed…move 5 feet off the line .Sweep out both dugouts and pick up any plastic bottles after a game or practice.Bat RulesThe Metro Baseball League rules for the 2014 season:AgeMax.
