General Information
The PeeWee Division is for players born in 2011 & 2012. In this division, the Spring season is tiered into two levels. The 'AAA' program is designed for the more advanced player while the Single 'A' program is designed for the less advanced, recreational player.
The Single 'A' teams play an interlocking schedule with all the Lower Mainland Associations consisting of 15 to 20 games (depending upon number of teams). Away games can be played any day of the week. Home field times are historically Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The Spring Season ends in June.
We have a Spring AAA team who will play an interlocking schedule with all the Lower Mainland Associations. Games have historically been played Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with practices scheduled around games. Players selected to the 'AAA' teams are not guaranteed a spot on the Summer 'AAA' team or Summer 'AA' team.
All those players interested in trying out for Spring 'AAA' are given the opportunity during the evaluations which take place in February. Those players interested in Single 'A' will undergo an evaluation after the 'AAA' evaluations. All Single 'A' teams are to be balanced.
Rules
Lead offs are permitted and the balk rule is introduced. Pitch counts for pitchers will be according to BC Minor guidelines. The base paths are set at 70 feet and the distance from home plate to the pitching rubber is set at 48 feet. The fences are set at a minimum of 180' down the lines and 200' in centre field. A regulation game is 7 innings, but could be called earlier for a permitted reason.
Equipment
Players must supply their own glove, batting helmet, athletic support and pants. Jerseys, socks, hats and standard bats are provided by the association.
Summer Ball & Fall Ball
Summer Ball is offered at three levels (A, AA, AAA). TCTMBA will field a team or teams dependent upon availability of players and coaches.
Fall Ball is also offered starting in late August and ending in early October.
