The summer baseball program is aimed at players age 8-18 who are interested in a more competitive level of play from late June through mid August. There are typically 3-4 games per week although that can vary among specific leagues.
Overall, when both practices and games are included, the summer is a relatively intensive program. Recognizing that this is the vacation season, we do make modest allowances for family vacations without jeopardizing a youngster's roster spot. However, the commitment to the leagues is a significant one, and we request that longer vacations be reserved for later in August when the season has ended. Parents and players are asked to be realistic about the significance of this commitment.
Players are selected for summer teams on the basis of how they performed in the spring season and past years, if deemed necessary tryouts may take place near the end of the spring season.
There is an opportunity for a select group of players in each age group to play on the Cal Ripken Tournament Team. Players are selected by the team coaches through season long scouting and if deemed necessary tryouts. These teams involve an intense commitment by the players, their parents, and the coaches. Some excellent players opt out of the tournament team because of other commitments and play in the less stringent summer baseball program. Each team will compete against the best players in the region. The Cal Ripken Teams represent a fraction of the MYBL very good summer baseball program.
Members of these District teams, which consist of 12 to 15 players each, represent Marshfield in competition with other towns who are part of Eastern Massachusetts Cal Ripken District 6. There are no guaranteed minimum playing requirements for players on this team. Inclusion in the District team requires 100% commitment to all practices and games. Practices will begin immediately following the regular spring season. District tournaments begin in late June or early July, and last roughly one week. If the team wins its District, it will move on to the Eastern Massachusetts State Tournament in mid-July. Players must be registered play for District teams. If there is a tryout, a player's inablity to attend the try-out will not determine his team eligibility.
Typically the District Team doubles as a Suburban Team. However, a player may choose to play in Districts, but not Suburban, and vice versa. Suburban / South River Baseball is "travel" baseball. Teams play games that take place two nights week per week, and one weekend day. The season ends the roughly the beginning of August. With post season play carrying on sometimes up to the second week in August. The commitment level expected by MYBL is 75%, which translates, allows for a weeklong family vacation during the season. All players must be registered to play Suburban / South River Baseball. South River Leagues are broken into 9/10, 11/12, 13, 14/15, and 16-18 age groups. South River Leagues every team makes the playoffs.
