Frequently (or Recently) Asked Questions

Question: A team is playing a combination schedule, some JV opponents, some Varsity opponents. Can an incoming senior play on that team?

Answer: The incoming senior can be on the team but can play only in those games against the Varsity opponents. He cannot participate in the games against a Junior Varsity opponent.

Question: Can a 4A or 5A team have graduated seniors play on the team?

Answer: Only with approval and written permission from the league. Any 4A or 5A team with approval of this exception will have a document from the league president.

Question: Can a team bat more than 9 players in a game?

Answer: Yes, but only in "season" games, not in tournaments. If a team starts a game batting more than 9, they finish the game batting that same number. The concept of player development as well as parent pacification is the basis for this decision. It would be best for coaches to discuss this prior to the start of the game to assure there is no confusion regarding substitutions or other circumstances that might occur as a result. If batting more than 9 appears to be causing a problem, don't do it any more.
