• The ECFIBL will begin with an Instructional Camp in which all players are instructed regarding advanced hitting, position-specific techniques, baserunning, and information regarding the college baseball recruiting process and strategies to market oneself to collegiate programs. After the Instructional Camp, players will be split into a minimum of 6 teams as evenly as possible based upon ability level, age, etc. Special requests for players to be placed on same team may be made on the registration form. All requests will be accommodated to the best of our ability, but there are no guarantees. Teams will play two 7-inning games for 6 consecutive Sundays. The first five weeks will be "league play" in which teams will play two different opponents each Sunday. Once league play is complete, the teams will be seeded based upon their league play record and will compete in a single elimination tournament to determine the 2012 ECFIBL Champion. With the regular season schedule and post-season tournament, all individuals are guaranteed a minimum of 12 game contacts. All ECFIBL games will feature an official plate and base umpire. Each week will begin with an instructional lesson regarding a particular aspect of baseball to enhance the knowledge and skill set of each participant. Each lesson will be given special emphasis during that week's game contacts. Instructional lessons will be delivered by the ECFIBL league directors and coaches, all of whom are current or former collegiate players, or current collegiate or varsity-level coaches who understand theskills and knowledge needed to be successful at the most competitive levels of baseball. Examples of instructional topics include the mental side of baseball, baserunning, position-specific fielding, hitting, bunting, arm care, etc.
