Fossil Park is located in beautiful, sunny St Petersburg, Florida...Home to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and is St. Petersburg's most prestigious youth baseball program.   With the merger of Florida Little Major League and Dizzy Dean Baseball of Florida in 2004,  we at Fossil Park Youth Baseball are proud of our new affiliation with Dizzy Dean Baseball.  With the caliber of athletes that Fossil Park produces, this new alliance will permit our teams the opportunity to advance farther than ever before in post-season tournament competition; and in keeping with our philosophy that it is "All About the Kids", we can now offer All-Star Teams for every age group Fossil Park is proud to announce the addition of Girls' Softball to our league offerings which experienced a successful inaugural season in the Spring of 2006. Another new change for the 2006 Season was the new age determination date.  The new age cut-off date for age groupings is now April 30th. for Baseball.  We would like to welcome everyone to the all new Fossil Park Youth Baseball and Softball; and help us celebrate our 50th.Anniversary of youth sports in St. Petersburg, Florida.

At Fossil Park Youth Baseball & Softball we are committed to providing the very best in youth baseball & softball programs from T-Ball to the Senior Divisions.

RAIN OUT INFORMATION

To All Directors,

As you know, we have had an extraordinary amount of rainouts this season. We are doing our best to get them all re-scheduled. But we are quickly running out of available slots. Sometimes the games are not on “normal” days that a particular division plays, or they may fall on a day that an AAU tournament was scheduled for. It is impossible for us to keep up with the AAU games for all of the players that play AAU. We MUST schedule the games where they fit and where it works for ALL involved, including the umpires. This being said, unless a Manager had put in a request for a particular day off at the beginning of a season, the games will have to stay where they have been re-scheduled. Keep in mind, that each manager is allowed one(1) requested re-schedule per season, and if they have not used theirs yet, they may still do that. This request MUST come in 7 days prior to the scheduled game. Any request after that will NOT be accepted. I will also add that even if a Manager uses his request in time, there may not be a slot to re-schedule the game, and it may not get re-scheduled. We may not be able to get all of the games rescheduled, if we run out of slots.

Please be reminded of the Dizzy Dean rule below. This is not a Fossil Park rule, this is a Dizzy Dean rule. If the league game happens, and a player misses it to play in another game outside of the park, they could lose All-Star eligibility.

Page 42, 11:11 Any player who misses any scheduled league game to play on a pick-up or tournament team before league play ends, will not be eligible for all-star play.

Also, if a Manager knows that they will not be able to field a team for a particular game, and will need to forfeit the game, please have them contact Tammy Campbell or Jerry Guidice, so that we can let the other teams know, as well as cancel the umpires.
