- Which team does my son need to play on?
The season starts on August 1st and ends July 31st the following year. The cut off date for all age groups is May 1st of the season. For the season starting August 1 2013, May 1st 2014 is the cutoff date. The easiest way to explain it is your son's age on May 1st determines what team he should play on. If he will be 10 on May 1st 2014 then he would play on the 10u team for the season.
- When does the season end?
Vipers break our schedule down into 2 seasons. Spring season is March to July of Summer World series and Fall is Mid-August to December 1st or Winter World Series. We take off during December and January and a month in Summer (mid-July to Mid-August). But your team may do things differently as they choose.
- Why do we play mostly USSSA tournaments?
We have a partnership with USSSA that supports our desire to change baseball back to what it was years ago. We do not subscribe to the pressure baseball, "win at all cost" philosophy that has taken over youth baseball. We want to win and we want to have fun doing it. However, win or lose, this is a game - not a life or death race. We believe in raising young men not basket cases. USSSA directors and tournaments believe in our program and support us and most of all support the kids. (This answer not meant to reflect on anyone else.)
- What skill level does my son need to have?
At lower age groups, such as 8 through 11u, your son needs to be able to understand the speed of the game and that this is a whole level higher than rec ball. If your son is 9 it is helpful to consider if he can play well with 10 years olds and not fall behind. If so, then maybe he is ready for 9u travel. If your son is 12 and up he needs to be able to bat at a minimum 200 to 250, see a pitch at 60mph and handle the speed of game. Otherwise, you need to speak with the coach about him being a developmental player who will get experience but may sit as a sub on Sunday. (Saturday play determines where team is seeded on Sunday and we play all if we can).
- Why are the coaches always taking positive and smiling?
Because that's the way it should be done!
