Summer reflections

* Fields at Pleasant was the biggest complaint this year. 5:00 start times, time limits for some games and other didn�t, coaches not getting enough notice for early games.
* Proposed letting teams only play 2 games a night max. during the tournament.
* Conduct a county-wide rules interpretation meeting before the season.
* Amount of times a pitcher can hit batters per inning/game.
* In the 10U, putting a time limit on the games.
* 8U- where the pitcher needs to be. (on the pitch and after)
* 10U- eliminate the � way lines.
* Standardize the fees for tournaments or collect with county fees.
* Forming a girls T-ball league.
* Having an instructional clinic this fall.
* Sliding into home ruling.
