Happy New Year 12u Coaches,
My name is Pete Hogan and I will handle the role of this year’s NWBA 12u League Coordinator.
Should you have interest in participating in the NBWA 12u Spring League, then please review important league info at http://www.nwgabaseball.org/Articles/LeaguePlay.html and game rules at http://www.nwgabaseball.org/Articles/PlayingRules.html...alot of good info here. Additionally, please send a link of this post to any coach you think might have an interest in participating this year.
The large majority of participating coaches view the NWBA League as a great way to augment gaps in their tournament schedules with “player development” games. Teams are generally located along the I-75/575 corridor including teams along and west of GA400 and north of I-20. The general game plan for this season is as follows:
• Solidify 20+ teams and break into two divisions AAA and AA • Set 10 game schedule (we tried 16 last year and was too aggressive for most teams) • First league game to start after 3/1 and last game completed by 5/6 • Season-ending tournament to declare league champion (likely 5/17-5/20) • Scores and records will be maintained throughout the season this year by us coaches on the NWBA site • Records will determine seeding for the season-ending tournament
Your $145 team NWBA league fee (lower than last year!) and related forms are due by 1/31/2012. See the online registration functionality to get started. We will plan a coaches scheduling meeting in early February.
Looking forward to a great 2012 season. I’m sure a good many of you are planning Cooperstown trips which is going to be a special time for our boys, coaches, and families.
