Birthdates for each age group
7u = May 1, 2015 through August 31, 2016
8u = May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015
9u = May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014
10u = May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013
If your son played Instructional this past Spring as a 6yr old and made the 7u Tournament team, you may elect to play as a 7 year old again this Spring. Or you can choose to continue to “play up” as an 8 year old. If they make the 8u team, you are choosing to play up in age 1 year for the remainder of your time with Shaler Area Little League. You cannot return to your true age at anytime after this.
If you have a 6 year old that you plan on playing up to Instructional this coming Spring, they are welcome to come to the 7u try-out on Wednesday. They will be afforded the same decision next year at try-outs….stay as a true 7 year old or continue to “play up” as an 8 year old.
If you need clarification on this rule, please reach out to me before the tryouts on Wednesday.
Also – please let me know if you can assist with the try-outs (running drills or evaluations) for any of the age groups. Again, we need evaluators at age groups that do not have sons in that same age group. You can assist with running drills at the same age group but our bigger need will be evaluators. Email me when you can assist.
Thanks,
Ritch
