MAJOR LEAGUE
Spring Ball 2012
DESCRIPTION OF OUR MAJOR LEAGUE
Major 70: The most experienced level of Cal Ripken Baseball, recommended for 11 and 12 year old players. Cal Ripken Baseball is played under the Official Baseball Rules, but implements some special rules as necessary for the development and welfare of this young age group. The game is played on a 70-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 50 feet. In order to encourage the league to train more pitchers, there are rules that set the maximum number of innings a pitcher may pitch in a calendar week. Regulation games consist of six innings or four innings if a game is called. Players learn to lead off, steal, and what a balk is.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR MAJOR LEAGUE
All players will play on both offense and defense. Pitchers can only pitch two innings per game. This forces coaches to develop more pitching talent as well as give other players a chance to pitch.

At the end of the regular season, all major teams will play against each other in a park tournament to determine a league champion. All players receive an award at closing ceremonies.

An all-star team will be made up of the best players from each of the teams and will have the opportunity to compete and represent our park at the district, state and regional tournaments.
