Cleveland State Fall Developmental League 2015
Cleveland State Baseball is offering the opportunity, for high school age players in grades 9 through 12 to develop their skill through an intensive five week program of practice and games. The main focus of the league will be to provide players with instruction and game experience giving them a platform to work on skills through game and practice repetitions.
Players will participate in a pro- style workout, have three scheduled practices, play in league games. During the five week league teams will play two games per week or one game and one practice during the league. The games will be played during the week, Monday or Tuesday and Thursday. A league schedule will be available at registration. During the week games will begin at 5:30 and conclude at 7:30.
The league will be limited to 30 players. For transportation conveniences, players from respective high schools will be kept together. Rosters will be balanced based on players’ ages and positions. Each player will be required to declare a first, second, and third position choice. Team rosters should not exceed 15 players.
Players will receive instruction during games, and go over specific skills with their coaches prior to or after their game. Because instruction topics vary from base running to position specific skills, the instruction time is very valuable. Instruction will be provided by CSCC coaches and players.
A few special rules govern the games. 1) To promote aggressive play, each batter will begin an at-bat with a 1-1 count. 2) Every player on the team will bat. Every attempt will be made to insure everyone plays several innings defensively. 3) Games are limited to 7 innings. There is a 1 hour and 30 time limit. Extra innings will not be played after the time limit has expired.
Each player will be required to bring his own spikes, baseball pants, glove, bat, and hat. In need based situations, we can provide a few helmets, catching gear, and bats to be used during the game only. Game jerseys will be provided prior to the first game.
A $175.00 fee will be charged for each participant payable to:
