My son's on the 9-10YO team, who is playing a 7-game format w/ 2 pools of 8 teams each. I am one of the coaches and we have a great group of kids. We are 4-0 so far.
Unfortunately, our President misunderstood our DA's recommendation to carry 14 players as a mandate, so we are the only team we've seen so far w/ > 12 players. This makes meeting the 1 AB and 3 out MPR a bit tough (esp. when 10-run ruling someone!), but so far we've done a pretty good job of splitting the time. AAMOF, excluding the stats from our 3rd game (in which we faced an opponent whose team has been losing by 30-4 runs per game!), only 3 kids have played every inning, batting 11 times, 2 have batted 8-9, and the rest are nearly equal in ABs - between 5-7, w/ one player batting 4x.
My son has 2 hits, 1 walk and 2 fly ball outs in 5 times up.
Our league's 11-12YO team hasn't lost yet either. Tonight, they play for the District Championship vs. our city's arch-rival.
Our 11YO team has played 1 game and 10-run ruled their opponent.
All in all, we're off to a very fun start. Of course, the parents have about had it w/ baseball by now!
