GUIDELINES
Pre-formed 8u thru 14u teams with a TEMECULA RESIDENCY OF 75% or more will have first chance to register.
Pre-formed teams with 66% (2/3) residency or more may be considered (additional requirements may apply). 

Every team in the Alliance division will be expected to adhere to all TYB policies and codes of conduct. Teams will also be expected to fulfill any field prep obligations.

Temecula Youth Baseball players may play in both the Alliance and the Rec divisions concurrently only under the following rules:

• Rec games come first: A player’s commitment to their Rec team is top priority, meaning they can’t skip Rec games for any practice or game in the Alliance division.
• Dual registration requirement: Players must be properly registered in the TYB system for both the Rec and Alliance teams.
• Pitch-count limits: Parents and coaches must be mindful of the combined pitch count across both teams to prevent overuse injuries. 
• All-Star eligibility: A player can only be eligible for All-Star selection for one team, based on which team they registered for first.
• Consequences for violations: The Board of Directors can suspend players from either or both divisions if any these rules are violated.
  More details to these rules are listed on our Local Rules page.  No refund will be given as a result of any missed games or practices that resulted from these penalties. 

TEAM REGISTRATION
Registration fees for teams in the TYB Alliance division will be “per team” and based on a 12 to 15 player roster. Registration fees are based on the option selected on the team registration form, and all options include regular season games and a postseason tournament, and in the spring season a chance to represent TYB in the All-Stars. Registration fees for the Alliance division do not include uniforms, teams will provide their own.  

PLAYER REGISTRATION
There are no individual player fees in Alliance, but each player is required to be registered by their parent/guardian once their team’s registration has been approved and paid.  This individual player registration is necessary for league liability and insurance reasons, and no player can play on any TYB team without a completed registration in our system for the current season.  

SCHEDULE
The Alliance season will begin and end on approximately the same dates as the rec season. Teams in good standing (all players/team must adhere to all TYB policies, including financial requirements) will be scheduled one game per week (on average). Teams will be scheduled 11 games and guaranteed 10 games each, plus a post-season tournament to conclude the season.  Opponents will be other SIBA teams from Temecula, Murrieta, French Valley, Menifee and surrounding cities.    

ALL-STARS 
There will be one All-star team in each Alliance division based on age. (ie: one 9U team, one 10U team, etc.). This will be offered to the top TYB team from the end-of-season tournament (team must be in good standing – all players/team must adhere to all TYB policies, including financial requirements). Residency requirements for Pony Baseball All-Stars are only that a player must reside in Riverside Country to be eligible.  The team must still be within the requirements of Temecula Youth Baseball, and Pony Baseball/Softball rules. Depending upon division size, additional teams may be invited to participate.

In an effort to keep regular season registration fees lower for each Alliance team, all-star teams must pay their own entry fees. All-star teams will also pay for their own uniforms, and the league may require any or all parts of those uniforms to match the TYB All-Star team uniforms. 

Once the manager and each player agree to represent the league, they must complete the all-star season until eliminated. The penalty for failure to comply will be one-year suspension from the league.

DIVISION RULES
TYB Alliance teams are part of the Southwest Interleague Baseball Division (SIBA) and will play by the SIBA Local Rules.
