INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING GUARANTEED PLACEMENT FORM
If a player plans to play at Roy Gayle next year, this form MUST be completed and returned.
If you did not receive a form in the mail, extra blank forms are available at the park!! See David or Matt (Park Managers).
(1) You must know your child’s LEAGUE AGE. It should be listed on the front middle of the form. For baseball, the league age is the age your child will be on May 1, 2010. For softball, the league age is the age of your child on January 1, 2010
(2) IF YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO BE A 6 year old Shetland, 8 year old Pinto, 10 year old Mustang, 12 year old Bronco, or 14 year old Pony – then it is assumed that your child will stay on their present team. Check that box, sign the form, get your $25 payment ready and submit the form and fee by mailing it in the enclosed envelope.
Girls who are going to be 8 year old Pinto players can choose to play Mustang Softball instead. If so, you can get a manager’s signature (see #3 below). Please be very clear in marking the form that your child wishes to play SOFTBALL.
(3) IF YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO BE A 7 year old Pinto or 9 year old Mustang, then you can choose a team for your child if you wish. To do that, you need to get the signature of the 2010 team’s manager on the form. Each manager can only sign so many players. If you have no preference, that’s fine. We try to assign players by address to practice locations or to school groupings.
(4) IF YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO BE AN 11 year old Bronco or a 13 year old Pony, then your child will be included in the Draft. If your child has been signed as an Automatic, then check that box. If not, the one option you have is to block ONE specific team if you wish. Complete that line if you wish to use this option.
(5) IF YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO BE A 15 year old and still would like to play baseball or softball next year, just check the box and return the form. We never really know if or how many teams we will have available for this age group. Since we are making no promises, we also collect NO FEE with this form for this age group.
(6) This form is NOT used for signing up NEW PLAYERS. If you have a child who would be new to Roy Gayle, then go to the website (www.rockfordpony.com) and click on the new player link. Use this method to sign up any new players. This is true for any NEW 5 year old Shetland players too!!!
You can check the website and click on Rosters (on the left side) to make sure your payment has been recorded.
