YOUTH ATHLETIC LEAGUES FALL BASEBALL & SOFTBALL LEAGUES Registration for fall recreational baseball and softball is held at Murphey Candler Park. For fees, registration dates and ages offered, visit the specific youth association websites listed below.

GENERAL INFORMATION Each team will be scheduled 10-12 games for the fall season. Practices will begin mid-August. Games will start late-August. The season will conclude near the end of October.

YOUTH BASEBALL Fall Baseball at Murphey Candler is a weekend activity, with all events taking place at Murphey Candler Park. Teams practice on Saturdays and play games on Sunday afternoons. The practice and game times will vary from week to week. Our Southern league (5-years-old) is scheduled as a Sunday-only www.murpheycandler.org league; however, it may become necessary to schedule make-up events on some Saturdays. The fall program is a great chance for players to keep their skills sharp, try new positions, and familiarize themselves with new league rules without the pressure of league standings and championships. It is particularly beneficial for rising 9-year-old players expecting to play at the AA level in the spring, as it provides them with a great opportunity to be exposed to their first year of ‘kid pitch’ prior to the upcoming spring season.

Challenger League and Rookie League are not active in the fall.

Practices will start in mid-August, games start in late August, and the season is over at the end of October. The schedule typically includes 9-10 games.

League age for Fall Baseball is based on each player’s age for the upcoming Spring Season (your player’s age as of April 30, 2024). Leagues are formed for players of league ages 5 through 12. There is no Rookie Ball league in the fall program.

YOUTH SOFTBALL

www.mcgsa.com

Registration for Fall Youth Softball begins in June for girls, ages 5-18. For more information, visit www.mcgsa.com.

To learn more, you may also contact Ayana Mayers at 404-637-0514 or Ayana.Mayers@BrookhavenGA.gov.

YOUTH SWIM TEAMS Registration for summer aquatic programs can be found on each swim team’s website. For fees, dates, and ages offered, visit the specific youth association websites listed here. Practices will be held during the week, with swim meets scheduled on Saturday mornings. The season includes an invite to the GRPA District Swim Competition.

•

Teams are selected by coach draft of registered players interested in playing intraleague football. Evaluations are MANDATORY to be eligible for the draft. If unable to attend, please notify the league director ASAP to discuss options. The ACYA Board of Directors reserves the right to require that certain players move between leagues or divisions for safety purposes.

While our goal is to have individual grade-level divisions, we reserve the right to merge grade divisions due to insufficient enrollment.

Parks/Wildlife Conservation Fishing from the Murphey Candler Park shoreline and dock is fun for all ages to enjoy. The lake is habitat to a variety of fish, including largemouth bass, bream and catfish.

Only manually powered watercraft are allowed on the lake.

All bodies of water within City of Brookhaven parks follow current Georgia Department of Natural Resources fishing regulations.

• If you stop, get off the trail ○ Always allow other trail users to pass on the left.

• Report problems at 404-637-0500 or ParksAndRec@ BrookhavenGA.gov.

Many people enjoy feeding waterfowl, but the effects of this seemingly generous act can be harmful. If you care about waterfowl, please stop feeding them . . . allow them to return to their natural habitats.

Support federal, state and private organizations and their efforts to conserve waterfowl and their natural habits.

○ Obey all signs and rules. ○ Stop at intersections. ○ Travel at safe speeds. ○ Keep right. ○ Keep the trail clean. ○ Don’t use the trail at night. ○ Keep animals under control ○ Keep pets on a short leash. ○ Walk pets on right shoulder. ○ Clean animal waste.
