MBA
FALL BALL 2010
|
Here's some basic information on MBA Fall Ball:
Fall Ball
registration will be from July 15 to August 15.
The sole
focus of Fall Ball is skill development.
The Fall
Ball program will consist of teams from Orinda, Moraga, and Piedmont
at the Mustang division and other teams in the Diablo Valley region
for Bronco and Pony divisions.
While real
games with real umpires are played, no standings are kept in Fall
Ball.
For our Pinto
graduates, Fall Ball is highly recommended for all players as
the transition to the player pitch format can be a significant
adjustment. We focus on everything in Mustang from stealing bases
to dropped third strikes (at the appropriate times).
For our second
year Mustang and first year Bronco players, Fall Ball is highly
encouraged as it provides players an excellent opportunity to
further develop position skills (particularly pitchers and catchers)
and ease the transition to the next playing level.
Bronco and
Pony teams will be formed as long as enough players sign up.
Mustang is
for players born between May 1, 2000 and April 30, 2002.
Bronco is
for players born between May 1, 1998 and April 30, 2000.
Pony is for
players born between May 1, 1996 and April 30, 1998.
The season
starts August 29 and ends on November 14. Each team will have
one practice per week on Saturday afternoons and one game every
Sunday.
MBA plans
to have teams made up of 14 to 15 players per team as previous
experience has proven that it is sometimes difficult to field
nine players every weekend in Fall Ball.
Volunteer
coaches are needed and are integral to the success of fall ball
and the skill development of the players, so please let us know
if you are interested in coaching!
Once signups
end in mid-August, teams will be formed with our volunteer coaches.
Once the
teams are formed in late August (hopefully a week before school
starts), coaches will contact the players and have them complete
an MBA release form and collect a check in the $125 for Mustang
players and $150 for Bronco and Pony players.
No
player will be allowed to particpate without having paid the
registration fee
at the first practice on August 28.
Fall Ball sign ups ended on August 15. All players who wish
to be added to Fall Ball can now only be added on a space-available
basis. To make a request as a late addition, send an e-mail
to fallball@moragabaseball.org.
Please note in your e-mail the division (Mustang, Bronco or
Pony) you are signing up for
and your son or daughter's date of birth.
You will notified by August 22 as to team placement and other
details.
