 Fall League provides an opportunity for your players to learn about the game and gain experience playing fastpitch. Because of fall weather conditions, and Sunday play, all games will be scheduled for 1 hour and 5 minutes – allowing for the last inning to be completed, and one inning of international tie breaker if the game is tied. Free substitution and round robin batting is mandatory. 5 run per inning rule during 3 week league play for 10U and 12U with 10U keeping the rule the entire season.

Rosters, Scorebooks, balls and Umpires will be provided by MMFL.
