Other Information (complete reverse side to register)

Welcome to the Tosa Girls Fast Pitch League!

For over thirty years, our league has offered the youth of Wauwatosa the opportunity to learn and play baseball in an educational yet fun environment.

Many boys and girls who have played in our league have gone on to play baseball and softball in programs at the high school and post high school level.

Let me stress that the environment we strive to provide is meant to get the whole family involved. Parents working with their children set a good example

and provide the springboard to open communications, now and in the future. Players please enjoy the season, and parents, get involved!

Tom Syburg, League President

Registration Information:

Deadline: February 28, 2009. Teams are formed based on the availability of fields, volunteers, and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Teams may fill before this date. Please, register early! Registrations can be accepted after February 28th, but those players may be

put on a waiting list.

Qualifications: Players must either: be residents of Wauwatosa, or attend school in Wauwatosa, or have a parent who works in Wauwatosa.

Age: Players must either: be between the ages of 7 - 14 as of September 1, 2009 or be in 1st – 8th grade for the 08-09 school year.

Proof of age must accompany this registration, unless submitted in an earlier season. A copy of a birth certificate is sufficient. Once

received, this proof of age is kept on file with the league for the duration of a child’s eligibility.

Fees:...................... SELECT ONE: $ 110 Registration

...............................

............................... $ 135 Registration, including Candy Option: a box of candy, delivered at the

............................... beginning of the season (early May). The player/player’s family

keeps the money collected from selling the candy.

NOTE: This option available only until April 1 when League candy order is placed.

NOTE: Full payment and a completed registration form must be received for any player to be considered registered with the league.

Team Uniform Local businesses can sponsor a single team or even an entire division. Company logos are silk-screened on the backs of league uniform

Sponsorships: shirts. Sponsors are also listed on the league web site with a link to their own home page, if desired. A team appreciation plaque is

included.

Notification: The League Draft, at which players are assigned to teams, is held in April. Shortly thereafter, you will be notified by mail as to which

team your child has been placed, as well as the coach's name and phone number. The coach will then call to introduce him or herself, and schedule team practices.

Participation: Children (and their parents), today, have many activities to participate in. Softball, being a team sport, depends on the unity of a team

and commitment of each player on the team. Prior to registering, please consider the amount of time you and your child can invest.

Attendance is expected at team practices and league games, understanding that summer is the time for family activities.

Medical Generally, consent to treat a minor injury must be obtained from the parent or guardian. In the event of a life threatening emergency,

Emergencies: medical treatment may proceed without consent. The parents or guardians will be sought out, but, if necessary, a court order may be

obtained to continue treatment, once the emergency has passed, and if no third party has been authorized to consent to medical care.

To expedite the care of your child during your absence, it is best to leave a witness statement with the adult (person 18 years old or older) to whom you are entrusting your child.

Contact: For answers to any questions regarding registration, please refer to the Tosa Baseball website, www.tosabaseball.com. The

League does not maintain a full-time office, but e-mail messages can be sent through the website. Your questions and concerns will be

addressed. You can also learn about Tosa Girls Fast Pitch on the Internet at www.tosabaseball.com.

League Information: Tosa Baseball League, Inc. is an independent league and is not affiliated with any “Little League” organization.

Tosa Girls Fast Pitch League has three age divisions: the Minor Division is for 7, 8 & 9 year-olds, the Major Division is for 10, 11 & 12 year-olds, and the Senior Division is for 13 & 14 year-olds. The number of teams fielded in each division depends on the number of fields available, the number of volunteers for key positions, and the number of registrations received.

Players are randomly placed on teams through the league draft, if a) they are new to the league, b) are eligible to move to the next division, or c) they request to go to a new team. There are no tryouts. Players whose parents or guardians have volunteered for key positions will be placed on teams so that all teams are staffed with coaches, umpires, and managers. If eligible by age, players will remain on the same team as the prior year.

It is the intent of the league to balance teams throughout the league by age, without regard for schools or neighborhoods of residence. Therefore, the league does not honor requests for special placement of players on teams. Practices are arranged by individual coaches at their convenience during May and possibly continuing into the season. Schedules will be distributed by coaches or managers. Each team will generally play one-three games per week throughout May, June and July.

In late June there is a Tournament. It’s structured to give teams additional games to play, and to allow those teams that may have finished lower in league standings to get a new start with a "second season."

Volunteers make the league work, so please, get involved. Coaches, umpires and managers receive league-sponsored training. The league is administered by a volunteer Board of Directors made up of parents of players, just like yourself. The Board meets once a month (except August & December) at the Hart Park Pavilion. Anyone interested is welcomed and encouraged to offer their constructive input on the running of the league.
