A boy must be seven before that date, to and is advanced into the play minor leagues, if he turns nine before the first of August. the needs of its hundreds of baseball aspirants, so the recreation people, decided to go on their own. They organized a rules committee and a coaches association, and went to work. Layton City is responsible for When he turns nine, he tries out for the Minor League, which also takes in the ten year olds. A coach observes the new players, and picks them according to their skills and abilities, and as his turn comes is up in the draft every boy in town picked for a team.

In Weber County, the participating cities and communities have a program that seems to vary, according to which city you live in. In Roy, the teams are restricted to the elementary schools, which the players attend. There are no drafts, but an individual player may gather his friends together, get a father to coach, and register that team into the recreation program.

In Roy, a player is restricted to six innings per week, and they keep track by inning, or a In other Weber County Communities, there are no restrictions in pitching. A super star may pitch every inning of every game for his team for the entire season. The pitching distance and the base spread is different in Weber County little league baseball. In Little League, WBBA and Layton, the boys must throw 46 feet. In Weber County, it is only 40 feet from the mound to home plate. In Layton a base runner cannot leave the base until the ball has reached the batter; but he can steal home only if he is played on; and he can leave the base as soon as the ball leaves the pitchers hand.

Under the WBBA rules, a pitcher is allowed to throw six innings per week, and must have three days of rest, after pitching more than three innings (one pitch constitutes an inning). The Layton people have determined that one pitch constitutes three innings. In other words, if he starts a game and is lifted after that first pitch, he has only Top-Not- ch The tournament, which featured some 120 Davis County youngsters ages 8 to 15, was held in the Layton High football stadium and lasted over three hours. The participants were broken up into boys and girls and also by age. The tournament also featured a special compound bow division. The overall high scorer for the event was who totaled 168. Many of his points came in the first round when he drilled his first five arrows for bulls eyes. Other top finishers in the tournament are as follows: in regional competition and finally in a mini-worl- d series. Layton ends its season with a city champion- deadline, and begins forming teams as the players are drafted. There are always late comers, and they are assigned to teams who have vacancies, or when necessary new teams are organized. A head coach is allowed to take his son (s) onto his team without forfeiting a draft choice. An assistant coach may also take his son but it will cost that team a first . ev-er- all-st- ation round choice. Each coach is lowed two assistants. The Layton coaches are required to play their boys two innings per game. If the coach fails to get a player in the game, the player 'ZZ must start the next game, and play at least three innings. In Roy, player must play in every game, or the coach forfeits the ;; game, but there is no set amount of innings, nor slotted time.
