Fall Ball

2010 Fall Ball Season

Glen Ellyn Youth Baseball Association continues to grow its Fall Baseball program. Thank you to everyone that participates and everyone who volunteers to make this a successful program.

About Fall Ball

The purpose of the Fall Baseball Season will be to allow kids to enjoy organized baseball in the fall while they continue to develop their baseball skills.

The 2010 season will run from August 14th through September 26th with an end of the season tournament.

There are three leagues divided by the following age groups: 9U (8 & 9 year olds), 11U (10 & 11 year olds) and 13U (12 & 13 year olds). The age of the player as of 4/30/10 will determine the league age.

Each league is made up of teams from both Glen Ellyn Youth Baseball and Lombard Baseball.

Rules of play will be determined by GEYBA and Lombard Baseball. Pitching and base distances and other rules will be similar to rules that the player will be using during their next spring season.

The time commitment will involve at least one weekday practice with two week-end games. This may vary depending on weather, make up games and scheduling issues. A serious commitment of 80-90% participation in practices and games is encouraged.
