Need to know if you have to be part of Nations baseball to participate in the BABA fall ball.
Yes, this is a sanctioned league. All teams must be registered with Nations Baseball to participate, and all games will contribute to your power ranking, record, and points. I have information and instructions about registering for Nations on my
Start a New Team page (which might need a new name) on
www.bayareaball.org.
Also, could you tell me what teams are already signed up to play 14U ball?
I have had a couple of 14U teams tell me that they were going to register, but no one has actually filled out the form yet, and I don't put teams on the list until they actually fill out the form. If it is a small division, we will combine the 13U and 14U divisions.
The best thing to do is register! You don't have to pay until the 30th. When other teams see other teams in the division, it encourages them to register, and then the division fills up. Leagues and tournaments follow a herd mentality, unfortunately. So even though I have a few teams who want to register, we need those first couple to actually sign up!
BTW, you can see who is signed up by looking at the teams on the
Fall League Information page.
