Player Requests: If two players want to play with each other, both must submit the same

request on the website during registration. Although we cannot guarantee any placement

request, we will try to honor placement requests between 2 players so long as both request to

play together and we can still maintain a proportional balance of ages and abilities on

teams. No requests to play for a certain coach are permitted.

balls. Players will want to purchase gray baseball pants, glove, batting helmet, USA Baseball

Mars Baseball Play-Up Policy: As a policy, Mars Baseball does not typically allow players to play outside of their respective age level. Although some players may exhibit some natural talents toward the game and their parents think they are ready to play baseball with older players, most kids will benefit greatly by playing in their actual age group. However, we do recognize the April 30th cut-off date defined by Pony Baseball may prevent some kids from playing with their classmates. In an effort to allow players to play with their respective grade level, play-up requests will be taken for these players with a birth date of May 1st thru July 1st. Any player requesting to play up that fits this criteria should register for their correct age group and then contact Mars Baseball at [email protected] requesting to play up. Play-up requests outside of this will not be granted.
