Steve,
We just received the league rules for my son's 12U league this weekend. I quote:
"3.62 Major 12 Only - Balks will be called according to Pony and IHSA rules.
3.62a - At the discretion of the Umpire(s) ptchers may be given 1 or 2 warnings. Managers should discuss this prior to the game at the home plate meeting with the umpire."
That was verbatim. This is their first year with lead offs/pick offs. It is going to be a long season.
Hope all is well on the west coast.
Mike
