13U -Peewee
For players ages 12 & 13
|
The 13U Spring Season is tiered into two levels (A, AA). The “AA” program is designed for the more advanced players while the “A” program is designed for the less advanced. The teams will play an interlocking schedule consisting of 15 to 20 games (depending on number of teams) against other associations. All home games are played at Hardwood Park or Kensington Fields and travel to the other association parks for away games.
Leads off are permitted and the balk rule is introduced. Pitch count rules will be in effect to protect the young pitchers from injury. All pitch counts will be according to BC guidelines. The base paths are set at 70 feet and the distance from home plate to the pitching rubber is set at 48 feet. The fences are set at a minimum of 200’ in left & right fields and 225’ in center field, to a maximum of 225’ in left & right fields and 260’ in center field. A regulation game is 7 innings and may not be called earlier unless it is for a permitted reason. Players are expected to help and support their team mates, and exhibit respect and good sportsmanship towards umpires, coaches and other players, win or lose. |
