If your child has already been invited to play on a travel team, then you ONLY need to register for Travel Baseball. Therefore, if you have been invited to play travel and accepted that invitation, DO NOT register for Recreation baseball. Travel players can play in the Recreation league if they wish at no additional charge to the travel fee.

MYAA plans to have at least one, and hopefully two, 7U travel teams each year. Tryouts will be held in the Spring and a separate registration for 7U tryouts will be opened in April. All interested 7U travel players must register to play in the Recreation league.

Playing rules:

Batting: Continuous batting order where everyone bats regardless of specific tournament rules.

Fielding: Players should not sit two consecutive innings, and coaches will make best efforts to play each player a minimum of half the game. Emphasis on learning multiple positions. (7U rule is maximum two innings at any one position, then rotate).

(Batting and fielding rule exceptions made only for Babe Ruth Inc. state/regional/World Series tournaments where their rules must be followed).

Pitching: Medford Baseball will follow Babe Ruth League, Inc. pitching regulations that state a pitcher shall not deliver more than 75 pitches in the same game or on the same day. If a pitcher pitch 1-40 pitches in a game or day, no rest is required. If a pitcher pitches 41-65 pitches in a game or day, 1 day rest required. If a pitcher pitches 66 plus pitches in a game or day, 2 days rest required.
