Fall Baseball- League Levels and General Information

1st & 2nd Grade

The Fall program will introduce the FUNdamentals of baseball.  Each session will start with drills and skills development, followed by a 2 inning scrimmage (coach pitch) and end with a team race around the bases.   

• 1st Grade - Monday Nights - 5:30 to 7:00pm* & Saturday from 11:15 to 12:45pm
• 2nd grade - Tuesday Nights - 5:30 to 7:00pm* & Saturday from 9:00 to 10:30 am
• Equipment: A glove is required, bat and cleats are optional (soccer cleats work too).  We do recommend that players have their own helmets (there are still lice outbreaks at school).  Metal face guards are required at this age.
  Baseball pants or sweatpants are recommended.
  If you do not have a helmet, there are a few in storage that can be borrowed.  Please ask your coach for assistance.
• Start/End Date:  The program will start the week after Labor Day and end the last weekend of October.  There will be no sessions on the SATURDAY of Columbus Day Weekend.
• Teams:  We try to assign at least two coaches per team, and keep teams between 6-9 players so there is more activity and less standing around.

We will do our best to accommodate requests for children to play together through August 15th; all teams will be playing at the same time and location so carpooling should not be an issue. 

* Weeknight times will adjust to 5:30-6:30pm in early October, and 5:00pm-6:00pm later in October due to the earlier sunsets.

Unfortunately MYBS does not allow Non-Medfield residents and Kindergarteners to participate in this program.  MYBS would not be able to accommodate all requests due to field and team size constraints.  Note - Medfield Park & Rec runs our Kinder level and below sports programs.

3rd through 6th Grade

MYBS will be participating in the Sharon Fall baseball league for 3rd through 6th graders. We hope to have at least 2 teams per grade (5th and 6th may be combined).  Games will be held over the course of six Saturdays in September and October at the Deb Sampson Fields in Sharon.  We will also be supplementing the season with 4 to 5 games at Metacomet (in-town game or versus a surrounding program like DS) during the week.  Week day games will be determined by coaches so that we minimize conflicts with other Fall sports.

Younger grades play earlier on Saturdays.  MYBS does NOT have control over the schedule, it is created by Sharon.  Previous seasons generally followed the format below, however it all depends on the number of towns/teams:

• 3rd grade will play at 8am or 10am 
• 4th could start at 8am or 10am and on occasion 12pm. 
• 5th and 6th grade could start at noon, 2pm or 4pm.

7th & 8th Grade

Fall baseball for 7th grade is a transition year from the 'Little League diamond' (Metacomet) to the 'big diamond' at Memorial or Schilling fields.   The 7th graders will compete with 8th graders on 60 foot pitching mounds and 90 foot base paths (regulation baseball fields).  Players will learn how to take leads, steal when pitches are thrown, pickoff moves, etc. 

Games will likely be on weeknights and weekends against surrounding towns, and at Memorial & Schilling Fields too.  The season will start after Labor Day and end the last weekend in October.  Due to the earlier sunsets, weeknight games/practices may need to be adjusted to early starts or weekend games.
