How much does it cost and when is the money due?
There is a team fee of $800.00 per team and you may carry no more than 18 players on your team. Registration money will be accepted beginning June 30th on a first come first serve basis. Registration cutoff is July 16th or when the league is full, which ever comes first. No spot will be held without full payment of $800.00. Rosters and Parents Right to Know forms will be given out when you pay your money or by stopping by the SPAA office during normal business hours (Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM).
Where will the games be played and when?
Fall ball will be played at Old Towne Park, field 1, on weeknights and weekends;
Strehl Fields, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 weeknights and weekends until Labor Day, then on weekends only (there are no lights there)

Sunday times will be 12:30 PM, 2:15 PM or 4:00 PM
What rules will we go by?
The SPAA rulebook will govern the fall league along with the Official Baseball Rulebook and the Official Rulebook for the National Softball Association. If you did not play in the SPAA for the Spring 2008 season, you may obtain a rulebook when you pay your league fee. The SPAA rulebook is also on our web site at www.spaa.com. Bat restrictions for Juvenile I will be waived for the fall, however, we encourage all Juvenile I teams to start working their way down to a –3 bat weight.
How many games are there and when will they begin?
This is a ten (10) game schedule that will begin August 11th and continue through October until all 10
games have been played.
How long are the games?
A 1 hour 30 minute time limit is in effect for all age groups. Pee Wee II, Atom I, Atom II, and 10 & Under girls will remain at 5 runs per inning and all other age groups will be at 7 runs per inning.
Who will teams play against?
In the fall, teams registered in SPAA only play against themselves. If there are more than 11 teams that register in an age group, ranking may be done within that age group. Otherwise, all teams will play all teams, no matter what your spring/summer ranking was.
Who furnishes the balls?
SPAA will furnish the game balls.
How can I form my team?
Teams may form in any way for the fall season. Tryouts (not until July 15th though); pick up additional players to go with what you have; combine with another team; etc.; all are acceptable ways to form your team for fall. Individuals not having a team, but who would like to participate in fall ball may place an ad on our website. If you need players, place an ad on our web site. To do this go to www.spaa.com and click on “News and Adsl”. From there go to “Manager ads” and send your ad. Teams must be flexible and aware that rescheduled games may leave you with back to back days, 2 games in one day, or possibly double headers. Adjust your rosters accordingly. All roster revisions must be completed before you take the field for your 6th game.
Do we have to fill out an “Official Roster”?
The roster must be filled in and signed in ink by the players. Rosters are available in our office with your fall registration packet and is due before your first game. Birth certificates are only needed for those players who have not played SPAA before. This roster is for Fall Ball only.
How many players may be on each roster?
You may carry up to 18 players per team. I strongly recommend filling your roster to 18, as we will not move games due to other sporting events conflicting. Players may be added to your roster by means of a roster revision form up through your team’s 5th league game.
Do uniforms need to match?.
Uniforms do not need to match, however, each player should have a number on their back for identification purposes. Duplicate numbers are okay as long as there is something distinguishing. All players should be in some type of baseball/softball uniform. No sweatpants, flannel pants, or shorts (for baseball) will be allowed. Girls softball teams will still be allowed to wear shorts as their uniforms.
Is there concession duty involved?
Yes. Each team will do approximately 4 – 6 hours of concession duty. A board member will open the stand and be there the majority of the time. Teams will just show up, work and go home.
Is there a “buy out” amount for the concession duty?
Yes. Each team can either work their concession duty or pay a buy out fee of $150.00. Buy out fees are due by July 16th.
When will schedules be ready?
Schedules will be handed out beginning on August 4th at the SPAA office. Normal office hours are 10AM – 4PM with later hours available by appointment for those of you who cannot be here by 4:00 PM. Rosters and Parents Right To Know Signature sheets will be due when you pick up your schedule.
Are there awards at the end of the season?
Standings will be kept and posted on our web site at www.spaa.com. Awards will be issued at a rate of one set for every 4 teams in the division. A set of awards consists of individual awards only.
Does SPAA allow/sell alcohol at SPAA parks?
SPAA will not tolerate any type of alcoholic beverages in our parks. Any manager, coach or fan with alcohol will run the risk of causing their team to forfeit.
Are Pets Allowed in the Parks?
Pets are not allowed around any ballfields which SPAA holds a permit for during our permit hours. They are prohibited from Strehl Fields at all times. This must be passed on to your parents and spectators or your team may run the risk of forfeiting.
Can teams bring in their own sodas?
Team sodas are provided free of charge by SPAA. Each player and coach will receive a 12-ounce soda immediately following his or her game. Teams playing at City Centre 18 will not be provided sodas after the game.
