Q: How many practices should I have?

A: T-Ball & Coach Pitch teams should meet once or twice before the first

game. All other levels should practice at least three times before the first

game. Teams are selected early so indoor practices in the Kenwood

gym are acceptable. During the season teams from machine pitch on

up should practice once a week during the spring session. During the

summer it is up to the team to decide how much to practice. The

extended season teams should practice at least once per week for the

entire season.

Q: How do I sign up or tournaments?

A; Each team can participate in two tournaments paid for by WESAC. The

WESAC Baseball President or Commissioner can help find appropriate

tournaments for your team. Sign ups are made directly with the

tournament directors.

Q: How do I reserve a practice field?

A: Call the Kenwood Rec. center to reserve fields in Kenwood park or Bryn

Mawr Meadows. At Kenwood, #2, #3, &#4 are good for coach pitch and

machine pitch. These fields can also be used for Pee Wee practices.

At Bryn Mawr, fields 3, 4, 5, & 12 can be used for Pee Wee & Cub. Fields

1 & 13 are for baseball. When using fields at Bryn Mawr it is a very good

idea to get a reservation slip from the Kenwood Rec center in case

other people are using the field when you arrive. These fields are

reserved for youth sports. Call before Friday to reserve fields for the

following week. Beginning on Friday, unreserved fields will become

available to the general public.

Q: If it's raining or cold, should I cancel practice?

A: A shortened practice is better than none. Check to see if the Kenwood

Gym is available for throwing. Organize a trip to one of the indoor

batting cages. Remember to have fun, and if the weather prevents

that, cancel the practice. Just like games, practices are immediately

canceled if thunder is heard or lightening is seen.

Q: How do I reserve the batting cage?

A: Same as reserving a field. It's a good idea to try to get field 4 (or 5 12 or

3) for practices at the same time.

GAMES

Q: If it's raining or cold, will the games be played?

A: Generally yes, unless there is lightening or thunder or if the field is not

playable. Call the park where the game is being played at 5:00 for an

update. If you find out that a game has been canceled, notify your teams

members (preferably by using a team phone tree).

Q: What if my players are late?

A: You must have at least eight players to begin a game. Games begin at

6:15. If eight players are not present by 6:25, the game is forfeited. Allow

sufficient driving time during rush hours. For Machine Pitch and younger

play with however many show up.
