Ted Plessl, a longtime area baseball coach, is again coordinating our local teams in the Keystone State Games competition. The KSG is set to begin two weeks from today in York.
Tryouts are drawing near a close and Ted passed along this key information for anyone interested in still trying out for one of the teams:
DESCRIPTION: At the Summer Games the ten teams in each division will compete in round robin pool play to qualify teams for medal/position games. National Federation rules will govern play with a modified PIAA discipline rule, the PIAA pitching restrictions in effect, and some modification to the 10-run rule. Competition will be held July 20 - 25 at York Township Field, Sunset Lane Field, and Shryock Field. Junior competition will be held on Tuesday - Thursday, and Scholastic competition will be held Friday - Sunday. The tournament will continue as a wooden bat competition.
ENTRY PROCEDURE: Send the entry form and $10 entry fee to the Keystone State Games office at least 2 weeks before attending a tryout. If attending a tryout in less than 14 days, DO NOT mail the entry form, but hand carry it to the tryout. Players must complete an entry form and submit the proper entry fee BEFORE they are allowed to participate. Entry forms will be available at all tryouts. All players from the sub-region tryouts which are invited to the final trial will not be assessed an additional fee, BUT a $50 Finals Fee will be required of all athletes selected for the rosters to participate at the Summer Games Finals competition.
ELIGIBILITY: All grades as of Fall 2010, school year. Junior and Scholastic Divisions will use grade to determine division of play. Baseball players must be male and may only compete in one division in one event.
HOUSING: To make lodging reservations visit http://housing.yorkpa.org or call 1-888-858-YORK
TRYOUTS: Individual tryouts and a final trial will be held mid-April through early July to select 20 players in each division to represent each of the 10 regions at the Summer Games. If a tryout is cancelled due to severe weather players should attend the next scheduled tryout and/or contact the Regional Sport Coordinator or team coach for information. The KSG office might not be notified of last minute revisions. Athletes must attend at least one regional tryout/trial to be eligible for selection to the Finals' team, and are asked to attend only one sub-region tryout prior to the final regional trial.
