13U Baseball
Ages 13 & Under
OVERVIEW
Though most of the rules of adult baseball are followed, Carillon League uses a continuous batting order, where all players on the team bat in order whether or not they are playing in the field. There is unlimited substitution at all fielding positions.
SCHEDULE
The baseball season begins in very late April, weather permitting. Teams play one game per week, usually on Wednesday. Evening games begin at 6:30 p.m., and typically finish around 8:30 p.m. Coaches require their players to arrive earlier for pre-game warm-ups. Games do get rained out, and coaches need to schedule make-up games. So, some weeks you may play three games or on unusual nights.
PLAYING SEASON
Teams will play in the Carillon Baseball League with other teams from the Southeast. Near the end of the regular season associations may choose to enter a team in provincial playdowns. Teams that qualify for Provincials will be playing into mid July.
TEAM FORMATION
As much as possible teams are divided evenly based on skill levels for league play. The amount of teams Mitchell enters in league depends on registration numbers. Provincial playdowns and tournament rosters will be a combination of all Mitchell 13U teams and be selected by coaches.
