Academy Division Eligibility: 

All players must have High School eligibility for the 2008-2009 School Year or be 17 or younger as of August 1, 2008

The 2008 Academy Division will kick off May 30, 2008.  As in the past this will be primarily a weekend league with three games scheduled each weekend against the same team - similar to most college conference schedules.  You will either play one game on Saturday followed by a double header on Sunday or a double header on Saturday, followed by a single game on Sunday. To accommodate teams wishing to participate in additional out of town tournaments and events we have Thursday and Friday dates available also.  All teams will be scheduled for some Thursday and Friday dates.   The primary facilities for these games will be Grossmont Community College, San Diego City College (Morley Field) and Westview High School.

Organizational affiliations:

All entered teams will be affiliated with five different National Organizations: 

·         PONY BASEBALL (Colt / Palomino)

·         National Amateur Baseball Federation (NABF)

·         Continental Amateur Baseball Federation (CABA)

·         United States Amateur Baseball Federation Inc (USABF)

·         American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC  / Mickey Mantle & Connie Mac)

These five organizations have National Tournaments and all teams are encouraged to participate in as many events as they can fit into their summer schedule.  If you commit to one of the events you will be expected to fulfill your commitment in order to be in good standing with the San Diego Elite Baseball League.  Teams not in good standing will be precluded from participating in future play.

LEAGUE WEBSITE :

The San Diego Elite Baseball Leagues Website is located at www.sdelitebaseball.com  League schedules, team rosters, sponsors and additional contact information will be posted on this website.  This information is extremely important to the National Collegiate Recruiters and Major League Baseball Scouts that regularly attend our events. Each team is encouraged to solicit sponsors. Those sponsors will be published on the San Diego Elite baseball website. Additional sponsorship information can be found at this website.

LEAGUE SCHEDULE:

The League will schedule 14 games for each team.  History has proven that most teams have difficulty playing every scheduled game due to commitments to other events such as CIF Playoff’s, Graduation, Proms, and other out-of-area tournaments. It will be your responsibility to select alternate dates and to ensure your team meets its commitments.
