9 and 10 Year Old Boys Leagues Combining
The Keystone
Board of Directors has made an exciting change to our league
structure that we want to share with you immediately in anticipation
of a great year in 2010! The Board has voted to combine the nine and
ten-year-old baseball divisions into one group effective next year
on Field #2. We feel that this change will increase the level of
competition across the age groups and, along with the lights
installed last season and the scoreboard being installed this fall,
will create a positive experience for all the players.
This change will also allow nine year olds to be selected for the
minor (9-10) District All Star Team, provided they have reached the
age of nine years old by the Little League age cutoff date of April
30, 2010. We will still continue to offer our usual age specific All
Star post-season opportunities as we have in the past and Keystone
Cobra select baseball opportunities, which are based on specific age
groups established by USSSA.
This combined group will be subject to the player draft requirement
as determined by the Board of Directors. The tryouts for this group
have been set for March 14th, 2009 INSIDE at the Ultimate Baseball
Academy at 120th & I Street. Time is TBD. As always, every player
that registers will be drafted by a team; the tryout process is only
used to help create competitive balance among teams.
Please contact Dave Arkfeld, the 9-10 baseball division VP,

with any questions regarding this change. We look forward to seeing
you at the fields next year! |
