Fall Baseball Information

Fall Baseball Meeting

10U-11U-12U WOOD BAT-13U-FUTURES Teams Interested in Playing in the KINO Fall League are required to attend Pre-Season Organization Meeting on WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30 AT 6:00 PM AT THE DOUBLETREE HOTEL 445 S. ALVERNON.


The Kino Baseball Fall League is a competitive program for age divisions 10U through to Futures Division. The Kino Fall League is NOT a recreational or developmental type of league. The teams that
participate in the league are mainly experienced players and teams. Teams that have not played in a competitive environment may want to re-consider before entering the Kino Fall League.

If you have a team that is looking for development, then possibly the Little League Fall Training and Development (TAD) program may be best suited for your players.

We wish to assure that every young athlete has the opportunity to play at the skill level that they are comfortable with the ability to enjoy playing the game. Nothing is more discouraging than having a team that needs further development playing in a division with teams that have more playing experience in a competitive setting. The results are never positive.

CONDUCT

Adult coaches set the example for their team when it comes to how they conduct themselves during a game.  Debating or questioning calls with the umpires is part of the game, but it is how one conducts themselves during their interaction with the umpires that determines if a coach remains in the game without being ejected.

Using profane language, doing damage to equipment, kicking dirt, physical contact with an umpire, non-stop talking to the umpires regarding balls/strikes, judgment related calls, unsportsmanlike conduct of any kind are causes for an individual getting ejected from a game.

The policy of Kino Baseball League regarding conduct is as follows:

SPECTATOR CONDUCT

The permits and contracts for fields from the city, county and school districts require the league to be responsible for the safety and security of the players, coaches and spectators that attend games.

Coaches are responsible for controlling their spectators.  If the umpires request coach’s intervention with any spectator, it is fully expected that the coaches will assist.  Failure for a coach to assist, the umpire has full authority to eject the coach from the game.

Spectators can be ejected from the park.  Failure for ejected spectator(s) to leave the park, the game will be suspended by the umpires until the ejected spectator(s) have left the park.  If the ejected spectator(s) fail to leave, the law enforcement will be contacted to have the individual(s) removed from the park.

Spectator(s) can be banned from a public park if their conduct becomes a detriment to the safety and security of the players, coaches, umpires and those spectators around them.
