NOBAS Play Up Policy

League Play ONLY:

 NOBAS understands that there are concerns about safety, emotional readiness, impact on the quality of play, and physical ability so NOBAS has a Play up policy. There are select cases where players should be playing at a higher level of baseball or softball than their age determines. The Play up Policy is limited to ages 6-8-year-olds (see eligibility below). The Play up Policy Committee will evaluate each player and determine if that player is ready to play at the higher level. A request must be submitted to the league for the league season year that the player wants to be considered for playing up to a higher level. All players are still required to register for the division determined by their birth certificate.

Denied Requests:

1. Social factors such as friendships, carpooling, or convenience.
2. If any pressure is put on the committee by any person(s) including the parent(s) to approve a player for the Play up Policy.
3. More than one year age jump.
4. The player will NOT take the place of a league age player.
5. The player will NOT be placed on a team that already has twelve or more rostered players.

Eligibility:

Play up requests that are considered for boys:

1. T-ball to Minors AA. Must be league age 6.
2. Minors AA to Minors AAA. Must be League age 8.

Eligibility (continued):

Play up requests that are considered for girls:

Request Process:

Include in the email the player’s name, date of birth, league age, parent’s contact information, desired division the player would want to be considered for, and a brief reason for the player to be considered to play up. THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE TRYOUTS*** NO EXCEPTIONS
3. “MUST” attend both tryouts to be evaluated by the Play up Policy Committee.
