In my area, we give warnings for balks for the first 2 weeks of the PONY league season....thats age 13-14......anything after that there should be no balk warnings.....

Now that being said, there are 30 violations for which a balk can be called......and in 99% of all baseball games, only 5 or so are called.....

I stick to the adage I was taught when I became an umpire. My teacher was an old SAL league umpire...to him you called....

100% of the balks everyone sees......

50% of the balks that baseball people see....

None of the balks only you see........

hope this helps...
