Hey 2011 Knothole Coaches

I know it seems kind of early to start thinking about Knothole baseball, but the general 3B sign-ups are less than a month away, and I’m sure that I’m going to start getting a ton of questions about Knothole soon. My question to you is: Are you going to coach a Knothole team again this year or not? Please let me know what you are thinking, and if you have any questions about this year. I would like to hear back from all of you by the end of January.

Just to put the timing in perspective, the sign-ups for Knothole will be during March and early April. We will have our Knothole coaches meeting in mid-April. So, you still have plenty of time to form your team. I just want to get a handle on how many coaches I need to recruit.

Thanks,
Carey Rakich
2012 Knothole Director

2012

Director: Carey Rakich

Bedford Knothole Baseball Ages 15-18

Hello, my name is Carey Rakich. This will be my second year as the Knothole Division Director for 3B Baseball. I have had the privilege of coaching the Rangers in the Farm division, the Reds in Pee Wee, the Giants in Minor and the Indians in the Colt Division. This will be my 8th year on the 3B Board of Directors. I grew up in North Canton, Ohio, and had the opportunity to play in the local Little League Baseball organization. After Little League, I played for my high school baseball team and I also participated on several travel teams during my baseball career.

The Knothole Division of 3B Baseball is for High School students, ages 15-18. The Knothole Baseball season begins approximately June 1st, and runs through July, a season of approximately 16 games, with a mid-season and end of season tournament. Most of our games will be on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday; however, there may be a few games on other nights of the week.

Last year, was a very exciting and competitive season for Knothole. We had 12 teams in the division, and I hope to have at least 12 teams again this year. There will be a few changes this year in the Knothole division:

· All High School Freshman are eligible to play in Knothole. For those that meet the Colt age requirements, they can choose to either play Colt or Knothole.

· Knothole will be adopting the BBCOR bat rule this year. All bats used in the Knothole division must be BBCOR certified for the 2012 season. Look for the BBCOR compliance mark which will be on all bats that meet the new standard.

· All teams must bat their entire roster in the lineup. This is consistent with the younger age divisions in 3B.

If there is anything I can do to help, or if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly. Thank you to all of the volunteers who make this league the best baseball experience in the area.
