METRO Baseball

Spring 2024 rules update

Rules update for Spring 2024. We have experienced a number of pitching violations in the player pitch age groups. SKSA and MBA take the safety of the players very seriously. The following rules addition has been put into effect for the Spring 2024 season.

"Players that violate the pitching limitations by pitching before their required days of rest have passed will be immediately removed from the mound. On the first violation the coach will be warned and restricted to the dugout. Repeated violations will cause the coach to be removed from the game. Additional penaties, including multi-game suspensions may apply depending on the severity of the violation."

Carnival Day / Picture Day

Saturday April 12
7:30am to 4pm

Carnival Day is an all day event hosted by the league for the enjoyment of the boys and girls that play in our league. We combine this day with our Picture day Team and Individual photos will be taken.

Most teams will play games on this day, however, since we often have an odd number of teams, frequently there will be several teams that do not get a chance to play. Even if your team is not playing, we encourage you to come and attend the festivities

Since this is such a large function for SKSA, each team is REQUIRED to provide volunteers for a short period of time during the day. Typically 1 or 2 individuals for an hour. These individuals help us run all of the different attractions, ticket sales, carnival booths, etc.

Each Team is required to provide a Basket that will be part of our Basket Raffle
