Note the fields for the accuracy contest below

TEAM INFIELD CONTEST: 5 man teams with one player at each base. Teams will throw the ball around the horn in the following order. Ball will start resting on home plate. On go, the catcher will pick up the ball and throw to third base, to second base ( to the second baseman), to first base, back to second ( to the short stop), to third, and back to home. Time will stop when the ball hits the catchers glove. Teams will get one practice round and one timed round. A dropped throw in the timed round eliminates the team. Each base must be touched or a two second penalty will be assessed for each missed base.

TEAM RELAY: 4 man team. The first runner starts from home and runs around the bases. When he steps on home the next runner goes until all 4 runners are finished. The best time for all 4 runners will win.

THROWING FOR ACCURACY: All players that did not compete in any of the above events will get to throw for accuracy. They will get three chances to throw a baseball into a net at home plate from behind the pitcher’s mound. They will be awarded a prize for getting all three in the net. This is an individual event not a team event.

The throwing for accuracy will start after the other contests are done. The throwing for accuracy will be on the following fields:

8u/9u/10u - Tiger

11u/12u/13u  - Wrigley
