Young Bucks – 6 yr olds
Commissioner: Matt Tarkenton
Player Birthdates: May 1st, 2005 to April 30, 2006
The Young Bucks league is designed to reinforce and/or introduce the basic fundamental concepts of youth baseball in a friendly environment while beginning to introduce the concept of competition. Typically, each team has 11-12 players while 13 players on a team can occur. All team members will hit and a maximum of 11 players will be in the field. An average of 2-3 events (games, practices) per week can be expected (typically, fewer events during fall seasons). Games are played on weekdays and weekends during the Spring season and weekends during the Fall Season.
Players are assigned to teams by the league, taking into account special parental requests made through registration, and, if possible, geography. Special requests are strongly encouraged to align friends from school, neighborhood or the preference of a specific coach. Although the league does its best to accommodate the special requests of parents and coaches, such requests cannot always be honored due to the large number of participants in the program.
