The New Palestine Youth League Blaze program is for those players who are interested in playing additional ball at a higher level.

General Guidelines:

• Blaze players must also participate in the NPYL recreational league.
• Each team will consist of 12 players.
• The Blaze uniform will also be used for all-stars.  Players participating in Blaze who also make all-stars, will not need to purchase an all-star uniform.
• The entry fee for baseball Blaze players will be $90 per player.  The cost for softball Blaze players will be $77.  Softball uniforms are not as expensive as baseball.  This will include uniform, games and related cost.
• The entry fee must be paid when the blaze uniform order form is submitted.
• In most cases, Blaze games are played on Sunday afternoons.
• Blaze games normally begin in April and end toward late June.
• Blaze games are not to interfere with regular in-house recreational games.  A player must attend his/her in-house league game even if a Blaze practice or game is scheduled.  This should not be a factor.
• Blaze games and practices do take priority over any in-house recreational league practices.
• Teams will exist for ages 7 through 12.
• NPYL intends to have a team at each age group. Based on participation and other circumstances, it may not be possible to field a team for every age group.  An age group may also not exist if there is no one that steps up to be the head coach (Manager) of the team.
• All Blaze players must play on a team based on their playing age.  A player may not play up or down.
