UPG has offered a great opportunity to play freshman baseball. For the 2025 season, we plan to offer the same product with a few minor changes. We have teamed up with Ultimate Baseball Academy to help grow and provide the best league possible. The League will run like in years past; One game a week (on Wednesdays) and a doubleheader every Saturday. Some Mondays!
Number of Games: Teams will play an 18-game schedule and also participate in a true double season-ending tournament. The season will begin Wednesday, March 12th, and conclude with the tournament from May 10th to 17th. Wednesday game times will be 5:00 p.m. (7 innings), and Saturday DH will start at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday's games will be 7 innings. DH games will be 2 hours, timed. Participating teams will be required to supply a home playing field.
Umpires: Two umpires will be assigned to work each game. These umpires will be assigned by our administration.
Fees: The cost per team to participate in the league will be $2,100.00 paid to Ultimate Baseball Academy. This fee will cover league insurance, arbiting, scheduling, and postseason umpire fees and awards.
Coaches meeting: We are planning to hold a coaches meeting in January. This meeting will be to cover any league issues, and questions and include a free meal. If you are planning to play with us please send us a responding
e-mail, to let us know you’re in, prior to January 14th.
Topics and Rules: This will be a 9th-grade age group league only. Players in 8th grade or younger will have plenty of opportunities on the Super League level. Your team is invited to play with us if you are looking for a 9th-grade league. We are well aware that some of your schools will have a hard time fielding a 9th-grade team due to players playing up. If you can not field a team this year, we will look toward your participation in the future.
Boundaries: After seeing the issues involved in the past years in other 9th-grade sports dealing with boundaries, we are not planning to put a boundary rule in place. We strongly encourage players to play for the team they will be with in high school.
No Super League teams will be allowed in this league. All teams must be submitted by a high school coach. If you have players looking to change schools it will be up to the coaches involved to figure out the solution.
We are looking to offer a 9th-grade league that is well organized and is about building future varsity players. We are not interested in dealing with boundary issues or younger player issues.
