Practices can continue after Opening Day as long as there is field availability, and it doesn't interfere with any games being played.

This allows for a 10-Game Season.

Travel Teams will have to travel to other fields in the area for half of their games. They will also participate in a Final Tournament the weekend of October 25th & 26th at Kyle Park in Tipp City, Ohio.
