NVTBL is offering a new Baseball Education based initiative for this off-season.  This initiave is for teams and it will be a game changer for your team and your players.  Ron Tugwell and Rob Hahne have been running similar workshops for teams we coached over the past 20 years.  They are very well received and one of the best things we have done.  NVTBL's Professional Advisory Committee comprised of Head HS Coaches, College Coaches and former Pro Players has decided to offer this to all NVTBL teams this fall/winter.  There are limited date offerings and each workshop allows only 2 teams to participate to keep the sessions small.

TEAM WORKSHOP REGISTRATION

You can register your entire team at the link below.  It is $50 per team which comes out to be less than $2 pp when you include parents and coaches.  That basically covers our cost to run the event with handouts included.  We will take 2 teams for each Workshop offered.  Each workshop runs 75 - 90 minutes.  Players, coaches and parents should bring something to write with and write on.

Starting Fall 2019, all Head and Asst. coaches along with others who come into contact with players must have a background check that was run no earlier than November 15th, 2018.  These has to be done by September 1, 2019.  This has been mandatory for Fairfax County coaches and will now be mandatory for all NVTBL coaches and administrators.  A federal law is in the pipeline and we want to make sure that everyone is compliant.  

NVTBL has secured an arrangement with USA Baseball to provide a low cost option for background checks (only $6).  If you have already done a background check after 11/15/18 and can provide the documentation, that will suffice.  We will be sending out the USA Baseball background check option and also follow-up with additional specifics. NVTBL wants to notify everyone now so that you can start to prepare a plan within your organizations and teams.  

-  13u - 18u Weekday Games-  no new inning 1 hour and 50 minutes
-  13u - 18u Double-Headers-  no new inning 1 hour and 50 minutes
-  13u - 18u Weekend Single Games-  no new inning 2 hours and 10 minutes

A reminder that there is never a drop dead time limit for any NVTBL games.

MAC Umpire per game pricing has not changed from years past and pricing is the same per game for all of the above time limits.  NVTBL was able to keep pricing consistent from years past with these adjustments.
