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 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.

www.murpheycandler.org

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. mcpmarlins. swimtopia.com

YOUTH FOOTBALL & CHEER

ACYA Tackle Football 2023 (Colt D1 & Intraleague)

ACYA offers recreational flag football leagues, recreational intra-league football, Division 1 Travel Football and cheerleading. Please visit www.atlantacolts.com for more information.

Atlanta Colts Youth Association offers two different tackle football experiences for kids. Our Colt D1 Program is one of the oldest and most successful youth tackle football programs in Georgia. Having been established in 1965, it has a rich history of success including multiple national championship teams and has seen several players go on to play in college and the NFL.

The Colts play across NW Georgia and this program is for 8-11-year-olds looking for a more competitive brand of football. Our Intraleague tackle football program has an equally successful history and had a record number of participants across grades 1st through 7th in 2022 and this program is designed to allow athletes the opportunity to master the fundamentals and play competitive tackle football. The Intraleague program plays other ACYA teams at Murphey Candler park. Following are further details on each program.

Atlanta Colt Travel Football

Competitive tackle football for 8- to 11-year-olds. Formation of teams is contingent upon total number of tackle football registrations.

• Players who wish to be considered for our Colt D1 Travel program should choose this program at registration and grade level that matches your child. All players who select this program will be contacted by the ACYA Colt Travel Director with instructions and information for tryouts.

• Teams are selected out of players interested in playing travel football, and by the coaches assessment of how competitive the team may be in the NWGYFL.

• The ACYA Board of Directors reserves the right to require that certain players move between leagues for safety purposes. Such players will be given the option of a full refund if they then choose not to participate.

• 4th-7th grade travel teams practice three days per week for two hours each day, and have games on Saturdays. (4-session-per-week commitment)

• Games are played on Saturday at Murphey Candler or other Metro Atlanta parks, mainly around East and Northeast Georgia area.

YOUTH FOOTBALL & CHEER

Intraleague Tackle Football

Intraleague tackle football is for players from 1st to 7th grades interested in playing tackle football with other teams within Atlanta Colts/Murphey Candler Park. 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. Such players will be given the option of a full refund if they then choose not to participate.

All teams and squads will require additional team dues at the discretion of the coaches and team parent. Unfortunately, in order to ensure balanced and competitive teams, we cannot always accommodate requests to have players placed on the same team as friends/neighbors/relatives for Tackle Football. While our goal is to have individual grade-level divisions, we reserve the right to merge grade divisions due to insufficient enrollment.

More information on our programs is available at www.atlantacolts.com. All players interested in trying out for Colt Travel Teams MUST attend tryouts. Dates: May 15-17.
