Q: When do I have to pay the registration fee?
A: During registration you have to pay the registration fee. If you do not pay your player will lose their rostered slot and will be replaced by one of the players who were released (not rostered).
Q: What am I required to provide equipment wise for my player?
A: Batting helmet, Glove (appropriate to player size and playing level), cleats (no metal). NOTE: Cups are optional
Q: How many players can be rostered per team?
A: YPAC can only roster 14 boys per team. This is the maximum amount of players that a coach is able to rotate for required playing time. A minimum of 10 boys per team are required to roster a “team”.
Q: What does my player do if he does not make one of the rostered YPAC Baseball teams?
A: They are allowed to sign up and play baseball with Markland Dam Little League.
Q: Do you offer sponsorships or payment plans?
A: NO! YPAC is a non-profit “Pay-to-Play” sports organization. We do not make any profit from our registration fees. Therefore, we do not have funding nor are we able to provide any “upfront” financial assistance to families. Parents who pay are invested and committed to the program upfront, come to practices, games and play the entire season. If you need financial assistance, please plan ahead and save, contact relatives, friends, start a go-fund-me page or get a local business/church to sponsor you.
Q: What does the YPAC player insurance cover?
A: YPAC insurance is “SECONDARY” to your personal insurance provider unless you don’t have personal insurance then it is the primary. The insurance ONLY COVERS THE PLAYER during official game & practice times. It does not cover siblings or other persons injured on the property. Per the agreement on the registration form, neither YPAC nor the school or county park board can be held liable. YOU are responsible for your player outside of the official game & practice times and any other guests and siblings. i.e If a player is injured at 5:55 because they are goofing off before the official practice starts at 6:00, YPAC insurance cannot be used.
Q: What league is YPAC Baseball playing with and where are away games?
A: We are associated with the SEI League softball. Games will be played in Dearborn, Ohio, Ripley, and Switzerland Co.
Q: What if I am home schooled or live outside of Switzerland Co.?
A: No problem! Any child who meets the grade/age eligibility criteria may join YPAC and play baseball. Even if you are home schooled! Priority on a roster is given to girls from Switzerland Co.
