The purpose of the Select Division (Southern Maryland Storm) is to develop a cooperative program that offers part-time travel opportunities to players interested in more than regular season play, but not quite the level and expense of a full-blown travel program. Players are not representing Little League International and spending accounts must be separate.
Leadership
The appointed SMYO Baseball Commissioner will be responsible and oversee the operations of this program.
Registration
Teams will be created competitively through tryouts (invitation only). Price cost will range from $300 up to $450 per player. Registration fee will cover uniform, player overhead, and approximately (4) tournaments.
Rostering/Player Selection
Players participating shall be spread evenly amongst the regular season teams to ensure they are fair and balanced. Players must be registered in the SMYO Spring and/or Fall Little League program to be eligible. Up to 3 players may register from outside of our Little League program to field a competitive team. (Must be approved by Baseball Commissioner)
Players participating are eligible for Little League All Star's will participate in the selection process because they will not be guaranteed a roster spot.
Management/Coaching
Under this program, teams will be managed and coached by individuals who coach in our Little League program. Select Division coaches must submit tournament dates prior to the creation of regular season schedule to ensure there are no conflicts. During the regular season, teams are limited to 1 practice per week.
