The Divisions of Play:

This will be the second year of play with the new age guidelines.   The age cut off for play is May 1.   The change was made by all youth baseball organizations to better coordinate a players age with the baseball season.

The T-Ball division will meet on Saturdays.   A player must be 4 by May 1 2007 and no older than 6 on May 1, 2007.  Players participate in age appropriate skill development activities and scrimmage in a non results oriented atmosphere.

The Farm League division is for 7 and 8 year olds.  Players must be 7 by 5/1/07 and no older than 8 on 5/1/07. Teams will practice a few times before the season starts.  Once the season begins in late April, there will be one or two games a week through early June.  The kids play a modified game with the coach pitching.  More detailed rules are in the Handouts link. The emphasis is on skill development as well as an introduction to team play.  Score is not officially kept and good sportsmanship and teamwork is emphasized.

The Junior League division is designed for 9 and 10 year olds.  Players must be 9 by 5/1/07 and no older than 11 on 5/1/07. In the Junior League division, games are scheduled in both Plympton and Halifax.  There will be 2-3 games a week beginning in late April through early June.  Results are recorded with playoffs occurring after the season. Usually coaches practice during the season.

The Senior League division is designed for 11 and 12 year olds.  Players must be 11 by 5/1/07 and no older than 12 on 5/1/07. In the Senior League division, games are scheduled in both Plympton and Halifax.  There will be 2-3 games a week beginning in late April through early June.  Results are recorded with playoffs occurring after the season. Usually coaches practice during the season.

Travel Teams: 

It is a goal of PAYS Baseball to develop a program with skill levels on par or above neighboring organizations.  In doing so, PAYS Baseball submits teams in to summer travel leagues. Usually Junior and Senior teams are organized.  Players are selected to play based on the recommendations of all coaches.   

CORI checks:

As required by state law and PAYS Baseball/Softball, ALL coaches, league officials, and referees have been CORI checked.

Volunteering:

PAYS is grateful for the many people who step forward to help out.  We can always use more.  From lining the field, snack stand, umpiring, coaching, and administration there is a place for anyone interested in giving time.

Donations:

PAYS operates on its registration fees, local business sponsors and donations from families and community members. Every dollar collected goes directly to the operational expenses of the league.  Some families are unable to make a time commitment and offer a donation of money to the league.  If you are a business owner or community member and would like to make a donation, please contact us or mail it to PAYS, PO Box 218, Plympton, MA 02367.
