2. What days will Fall Baseball games be played and what are the game times?
Games are only played on Sundays. Players in the modified kids pitch age group will play single games lasting 1hr 30 min. Players 9-14 will play double headers lasting 1hr 45min.
3. What age groups can play baseball in the Fall Baseball season?
We will have player ranging in age from 6 years old (min age as of 4/30/2021) and up to 13 years old. Players will play at the league age they are expected to play next Spring/Summer. For example, a player who is now 10 years old (4th grade) and will play next spring at age 11 (5th grade), will play on a 11/12 team this Fall. The idea is to get players ready for the field sizes they will encounter next spring/summer.
​Players entering High School next spring are not able to participate in the fall league.
4. What if I have a full or partial team and we want to register individually?
If you already have players for your team just follow steps below:
1. Have the coach contact the fall baseball director with a list of players
2. Each parent will register and pay the registration fee, listing their coach in the appropriate box during registration.
5. What if our team has never played with Bear Creek or South Jeffco or wants to register as a full team?
Not a problem, we have teams ranging from Ft Collins to Colorado Springs and as far west as Summit County that play with us each fall. Schedules can be accommodated to allow for travel times in most cases. You can register as a team or individually pending your needs.
For team registration:
1. The coach will register as a team in the system and pay in full.
2. The coach will email the full roster to the fall baseball director for player verification.
Note: Teams must provide its own insurance and jerseys. No practice field will be provided.
6. Are there tryouts for fall baseball teams?
There are no tryouts for fall baseball. Players can sign up individually, and we place players as best as we can with like talent based on questions during registration. South Jeffco and Bear Creek typically hold tryouts in October after the end of the fall baseball league tournament for their spring programs.
7. What if I do not have a team or coach to sign up with?
Not a problem, we are always in need of players at all levels of ability to participate on teams. We attempt to place you on a like ability team.
8. What is the cost per player for the Fall Baseball program?
The Jeffco Coop fall baseball program is an attractive program to join because of the minimal costs to join when compared to spring programs and other fall programs in the area.
If your player is on the younger side and will be joining to play in the MKP division the cost to an indivually registered player is only $TBD. You will get a 6 game season, played in the Littleton and Lakewood areas, a Jeffco Coop fall baseball jersey, practice time and a single elimination season ending tournament with trophies going to the winner and runner up teams.
If your player is going to play in the 9/10 divison up to the 14's the cost to an indivually registered player is $TBD. With that you get 6 weeks of jam packed Sundays playing 12 games in the same Littleton and Lakewood areas, a Jersey, practice once a week and a single elimination season ending tournament with trophies going to the winner and runner up teams.
Club/team costs are different. Reach out to you coach or club represenative for more information.

8 D1 to 14 year olds will play doubleheaders every Sunday for six weeks, plus a post season tourney (13-15 games in all).
If rainouts occur, we will do our best to get a make up game in either by adding a game to Sunday or adding a game Monday through Saturday. The fall program is limited in field availabilty, time and other restrictions that may prevent make up games and there is no guarantee to the number of game played. Our end of season tournament does have a backup weekend, which is the weekend following the planned end of season tournament.
11. Are there practices during the week and when are they?
We provide individual registration teams a 2 hour practice slot on a Littleton/Lakewood area field during the week. If additional slots are open, coaches can request additional time.

The league will provide a t-shirt/jersey for each player who registers independently. However, we do not provide caps for players in an attempt to keep registration costs to a minimum.
