2024 Player Application & Waiver Release

2024 Player Application & Waiver Release

ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY JANUARY 31, 2024.

APPLICATIONS POSTMARKED FEBRUARY 1 OR LATER WILL BE PLACED ON OUR WAIT LIST.

YOUR APPLICATION WILL NOT BE PROCESSED UNLESS ALL FIELDS ARE FILLED IN AND IS ACCOMPANIED BY A SIGNED WAIVER RELEASE.

OUR LEAGUE USES A DRAFT SYSTEM TO CREATE NEW TEAMS EACH YEAR.

THE INFORMATION YOU INCLUDE IN YOUR APPLICATION IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN MANY CASES IT WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE WHICH PLAYER A MANAGER SELECTS IN EACH ROUND OF THE DRAFT.

SO, PLEASE BE VERY SPECIFIC WHEN YOU FILL IN THE FIELD THAT ASKS FOR DATES YOU WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PLAY.

REFER TO YOUR PERSONAL CALENDAR FOR VACATIONS, SOCIAL COMMITMENTS, DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, ETC.

IF YOU ARE OUT OF THE AREA DURING THE OFF-SEASON ENTER THE DATES YOU MIGHT BE MISSING IN THE BEGINNING AND OR END OF THE SEASON.

WE KNOW THAT UNPLANNED EMERGENCIES AND LIFE IN GENERAL MAY RESULT IN MISSING PLAYING TIME, BUT THIS IS TRUE FOR EVERYBODY.

DURING THE SEASON TRY TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENTS ON DAYS AND TIMES WHEN THE LEAGUE IS NOT PLAYING GAMES.

WE PLAY MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS FROM APRIL THRU SEPTEMBER FROM 9AM UNTIL ABOUT 1PM, BUT WEATHER RELATED CANCELLATIONS COULD EXTEND THE SEASON UNTIL OCTOBER OR EVEN NOVEMBER.

JUST LET US KNOW WHAT MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE UNAVILABLE TO PLAY AT THE TIME YOU FILL OUT THE APPLICATION.

WHEN IT COMES TO TELLING US ABOUT YOUR PLAYING SKILLS, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO INCLUDE A SEPARATE PAGE OUTLINING WHAT YOUR STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES ARE AS A BATTER, FIELDER, RUNNER, PITCHER.

YOU CAN INCLUDE ITEMS SUCH AS "FAST OR SLOW RUNNER","NEEDS A RUNNER", "POWER OR SINGLES OR LINE DRIVE OR WEAK HITTER", "STRONG OR WEAK THROWING ARM", "GOOD PITCHER", "CANNOT PLAY OUTFIELD OR CANNOT PLAY INFIELD", ETC, ETC.

FYI: OUR LEAGUE RULE IS THAT IF A BATTER HITS A BALL INTO THE OUTFIELD THAT IS NOT CAUGHT ON A FLY HE CANNOT BE THROWN OUT AT FIRST BASE, SO YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN OUR LEAGUE IF YOU CAN HIT BUT HAVE TROUBLE RUNNING.

ANOTHER LEAGUE RULE ALLOWS COURTESY RUNNERS, AGAIN TO HELP PLAYERS WHO HAVE TROUBLE RUNNING.

THE POINT IS, THE MORE WE KNOW ABOUT YOU THE EASIER IT WILL BE FOR EACH MANAGER TO DECIDE WHO TO DRAFT AND THE MORE LIKELY IT WILL BE FOR YOU TO BE PART OF A WINNING TEAM.
