PLAYER RELEASE

The specifics of Player Eligibility is addressed in the recreational baseball league rules above. As addressed under "Residency/School Rule", no more than one player shall be from another school system and/or community (local association).

To clarify, all rec players must at least either attend the school or live within the township that the team's local association represents.

For situations where there is an out-of-area player, a Player Release is required, which is posted below. The release/acknowledgment should authorized by both community representatives and then submitted to Neobaseball - no later than the roster turn-in date.
