The JCCL Fall Ball baseball season starts the week of August 9th with practices.  League Games will start Sunday, August 22nd, 2010 and will run through Sunday, October 3rd with a 1-day tournament on Sunday, October 10th, 2010. 
 

2.       What days will JCCL Fall Ball games be played? 
Games are only played on Sunday. The season will start Sunday August 22nd and will run through October 10th, 2009, weather permitting. Typically, there are no make-ups games when impacted by weather.  Players in the 8U will play single games and 9-14 will play doubleheaders.
 

3.       What age groups can play baseball in the 2009 JCCL Fall Ball Season? 
In 2010 we will have 8u, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14 and 16U. Players normally play in the age group that they plan to play in the following Spring/Summer. Therefore, a player who is now 8-years-old whose playing age next Spring is 9-years-old, will play on a 9/10 team this Fall. 
 

4.       What is the cost per player for the JCCL Fall Ball program? 
Registration fees are $80/player for 8-and-Under and $140/player for 9 through 14-year-old. Registration fees after the final registration date of July 24th will be $160 for 9-14 and $100 for 8u.
 

5.       Where are the JCCL Fall Ball games played and what time do they start? 
All games are normally played at Kendall & Elmhurst Complex, Schaefer Athletic Complex, Marker Park, The Peak and Community Park. Game schedules and additional information will be made available on the "Fall Ball" web pages at www.southjeffbaseball.org  
 

6.       How many games can we expect to play during the 2009 JCCL Fall Ball Season? 
9-14 year olds play doubleheaders every Sunday. There are six Sundays of baseball in September and October, so we hope to get all 12 games in.  Plus a post season tourney on the weekend of Oct 10^th. 8u will play six games (no doubleheaders) plus the post season tourney. 
   

7.       Are there practices during the week? 
Practice frequency is up to the coaches and the teams. Most Fall teams practice once during the week plus a batting cage session to use at the coaches discretion.

8.       How, when, and where do we register our kids for the JCCL Fall Ball program? 
JCCL Fall Ball Registration starts June 1st with online registration on your home area web site.  Registration will run through July 24th.

9.       What uniforms do the kids wear? 
JCCL will provide a tee shirt/jersey for each player, players may use any cap and baseball pants that they want to wear, and other personal baseball uniform accessories should be worn (ex. - sliding shorts; protective cup; long socks; baseball cleats). 
 

10.    What if our team has never played with JCCL and we have a team that wants to play together this fall? 
If you have a coach who wants to coach the Fall Ball team, and have kids who want to play for that coach, they will be set up so that they all play together. We will add players to your team if you have fewer than 12 players, but you can keep those kids together who want to play for a specific coach. All new coaches are required to submit a Coaches Application form and agree to a background check. Click Here to access the Coach Application and Background Check Form. 
 

11.    Are aluminum bats allowed in the JCCL Fall Ball baseball league? 
Yes, any bat can be used in the JCCL Fall Ball Baseball League.

Thank you for taking the time to consider JCCL for your fall baseball needs. I think you will really like the JCCL Fall Baseball program. It is a very relaxed and fun environment. It is a good opportunity for players to try new things.
