To register print off Player and Team Registration forms. Arena Ball
Live! Indoor Baseball
Games for Players Ages 9–12
Program Objective:
Arena Ball is a unique program reminiscent of pick up sandlot ball played at a park, in someone’s back yard, etc. when those of us who are adults were kids. To that end, we have attempted to make the Arena Ball experience one that accomplishes the following objectives:
-
Competitive Fun! Baseball is a game requiring quick reaction and sound decision-making skills. Arena Ball is a fast paced game that greatly assists players in learning the game, responding to game situations and transitioning to next year’s higher age division. Players enhance their skills under game conditions in a fun, structured and energetic environment!
-
Empower Players to Organize and Coach
Themselves. What better way to learn leadership, organization and communication skills than doing so without adults intervening? To that end, no coaches or adults are allowed on or near the bench area. Players organize themselves and rotate positions every inning under the supervision of Sports Barn personnel.
-
Promote Sportsmanship and Respect for Authority (Umpires) and the Game of Baseball: While the climate and culture in the outside sporting world can be challenging (and shocking) at times, inside The Sports Barn we believe a healthy environment of fun, encouragement, respect and proper perspective on sports as an educational vehicle can be created.
Length of Program:
10 weeks. Play begins the third week in October and concludes
the week before Christmas.
Games:
Each team is guaranteed 8 games. League standings and home run leaders
are posted weekly. A special indoor ball is used.
Schedule:
Games are one hour in length and will be played Monday-Thursday (5:15, 6:15, 7:15 and 8:15pm start times each night) and Saturday mornings (9:00am, 10:00, 11:00 and 12:00pm). Game times for each team may vary from week to week. A schedule will be provided the first night of play.
Participation:
There will be two age divisions for baseball: 9 & 10 and 11 &
12.
Participants are expected to attend all games as roster sizes will be
kept to 7 players per team to ensure maximum playing time.
Pitching and Catching:
TSB staff members feed a JUGS pitching machine for all baseball games and also serve as umpire. Each team has a catcher, however, the catcher will only be responsible for plays at the plate, not catching pitches from a pitcher.
Uniforms:
Participants receive an Arena Ball t-shirt with their tuition.
Registration:
Register individually, with your friends or as a complete team. If you would like to be placed on a team with your friends, please note their names on the registration form. If you have organized an entire team,  include all of the registration forms in the same envelope along with your team name. Please note, experience has shown that teams whose roster is complete at registration are generally more competitive than those teams whose roster was formed via individual signups and subsequent placement
by The Sports Barn.
Registration Deadline:
Oct. 15
Tuition:
$85.00/player
