SCHEDULE CHANGES – If there are 1-2 game times that just will NOT work for your team please work those out with the opposing coach. Once a change has been agreed on by both coaches it MUST be updated online. We ask that the coach requesting the change correct the website. Coaches are given a few weeks to work out schedule issues.

DIVISION SPLITS for 2012 – In 2012 only the 13 year old age division had enough teams to split out the TNY division from the AA and the 13 AA will split geographically. The 10 year old division is also split geographically and all other age groups will play all teams in their division once.  

                        Feeder Division – Teams who have players who are all in the same grade and will be attending the same high school. These teams are generally in the 7th & 8th grade, however we do have the Jr Grizzlies and other programs who have teams in other ages.
                        Tournament Division - AAA teams wishing to play only 10-14 league games should register in the “Tournament” division.
                        AAA Division - Teams who have competed at the AAA level or played Lanier Baseball and finished .500 or above in 2009 should register AAA.
                        AA Division - New teams who’ve never played travel or teams who finished under .500 in Lanier Baseball in 2009 should register AA.

COACHES CERTIFICATION - All head coaches must be certified through a program, such as NYSCA, Simply the Best, etc… Coaches must have the certification before games begin in March. NYSCA offers online Baseball Coaches certification that will satisfy the coach’s certification requirement. For a small fee you can complete the certification online at https://www.nays.org/nyscaonline/ The online certification is a combination of reading and video followed by 2 tests based on the content. The videos are not required, but if you do choose to watch them, we have found that they run slow. You will find that the tests aren’t real difficult and some of the questions do require that you’ve read the material while other questions may be answered using reasonable judgment.
