Coaches,

Thank you to everyone who attended the first meeting for the ICL’s 2014 Softball season last Monday night.  We had a very good representation of participating churches in our community.  Below are a few of the important items of the meeting:

1.      2014 season is June 3 through August 15

2.      Team Fee is $400 per team. RAC game fees are going up this year. The league will again subsidize the team fee for the 3^rdconsecutive year in order to keep the fee the same.

3.      ICL will play at the Regional Athletic Complex (RAC) on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights at 6, 7:10, 8:20 and 9:30 start times.

4.      All divisions in the Coed league and Men’s league will be determined by a team’s 2013 win/loss record and not by their preferred night of play.

5.      Team fees and completed Registration Forms are due at the next meeting on Monday, April 28, 7:00 p.m., at Paramount Christian Church.

6.      July 6^th is the last date to add players to your team.

7.      Roster & Adult Waiver forms, Youth Waiver forms, and State Patrol Background Check Form(s) are due before the team’s first game of the season, or they can be presented to a ICL Board member on their first night of play. Without these waivers teams cannot participate in the ICL.

Items of Note:

1.      USSSA is eliminating the extra foul ball rule. The ICL will keep the rule for the 2014 season, but we must formally decide to eliminate it or keep it before the 2015 season.

2.      USSSA is now paperless. Tournament Guides can be found on their website.

3.      We have a new ICL website. Check it out at www.ICLsports.org.

4.      Ben & Samantha Hill were elected as the ICL’s new Web Managers.

5.      All forms necessary for softball (and other ICL sponsored sports) be found here on our website.

6.      Completed Rosters & Adult waiver forms (with player signatures) and Youth Waiver forms (with parent signature) will be collected at the field before each team’s first game of the season. Failure to submit a completed Roster & Adult Waiver form will mean team cannot play until form is submitted. The same penalty applies to the player if they do not have a completed Adult or Youth Waiver forms.

7.      Nights of Play           

Coed A Tuesday                       Men’s A            Friday
