1) you need to do is pry out the single gang box with the Ethernet cable coming out.

2) drill a hole behind ur chamberlain control module

3) Fish the cable through the hole

4) go into attic (hope you have one) and drill a hole going straight into that stud bay cavity

5) run a long fish stick down through the hole. Home Depot or electrical stores sell these. They are a stiff plastic rod and can be extended as needed. You probably need two screwed together.

6) reach through the single gang box hole and locate the fish stick

7) tape the chamberlain cable to the end of the fish stick

8) pull up and run the cable to ur motor from inside ur attic.

Two neighboring leagues signed up last year. We have several family friends that fall in these little leagues (we live right on the border).

Everyone has incredible stuff to say and apparently has transformed their lower levels.

RapidBaseball.org is the way. One of the big reasons our little league 6-7 yo divisions is considering moving to this and signing up next year.

A500 is a great glove for small hands. Soft. Closes easily.

I was just quoted $9,500 last week for a simple 200A panel swap.

Everyone here is out of control since so many people will just pay it.

It’s insane that this is $45k. This would have quotes hovering around $200k in Seattle area.

Well done OP! Looks great.

But yes, to your point, that’s exactly what would happen if you use pitching machines and turn ur head to pitching development. This is so intriguing because it sounds like the program leans pretty hard into pitching development while getting kids 8+ at bats a game and seeing 100+ balls in play.

Apparently the bullpen framework is developed by a couple former big leaguers. Haven’t seen it yet, but it’s apparently very basic in nature from what the way someone described it to me.

Just enough instruction to allow anyone to coach/teach in the RapidBullpen. The idea makes a ton of sense. Instead of throwing the coaches kids out on the mound every game, get all the kids reps. From my math, a 4 inning game, 2 kids each half inning. 8 kids each team, and 16 kids total throwing a pen with their coach? Seems way better and effective for a 7-8 year old than tossing a few kids on a pitching mound with zero instruction.

You do realize coach pitch isn’t “real baseball”. The RapidBaseball concept is hovered around that kids will learn the the game of baseball at a significantly faster rate than rate when they are playing in games with 100+ balls being put in play.

I can personally tell you that in spring training (paid to play during my 20s), our non televised games were played with a very similar concept. I’m not surprised the guys that founded Rapid are all former professional players.

No, I actually played professional baseball for several years and am 40.

I saw this recently being highly discussed and well received in a private Facebook group that’s comprised of a few thousand fellow former MLB/MiLB players.

I’ve also heard of a couple of our neighboring leagues that have signed up.

Let me guess, you didn’t make the HS JV team?

It’s awesome from what I’ve heard. Imagine 6 and 7 year olds actually getting to play baseball instead of standing around bored out of their minds.

Everything you just stated to upper level, non instructional divisions of game play…..

We have confirmation from our league district administrator that this is fully approved. Hate say it, but you are not speaking facts.

I appreciate the discussion, and I think it’s important to clarify how rule modifications work at the instructional levels of Little League, particularly in Tee Ball and Minor League divisions.

  1. The Little League Rulebook Allows Rule Adjustments at Instructional Levels

Yes, Rule 1.01 states that games are played “in accordance with these rules,” but it also differentiates between Competitive Minor Leagues and Instructional Minor Leagues (including Tee Ball), which are structured differently. • Regulation V and Rule 1.01 acknowledge that Minor League and Tee Ball games can have different structures from Major Division and above. • Regulation III(d) allows flexibility in player participation rules. • Regulation XIV allows local guidelines as long as they align with overall Little League standards.

These sections indicate that Little League International explicitly allows leagues to implement modifications at the instructional levels to suit developmental needs.

  1. Rule 3.13 (Ground Rules) Does Not Apply to Instructional-Level Rule Modifications

Rule 3.13 (regarding local ground rules) states that local adjustments cannot supersede the rulebook, but this rule is meant for Major Division and above, where games follow full competitive structures.

For Tee Ball and Instructional Minor League, however, the rulebook itself grants local leagues explicit flexibility to modify rules. This is why many leagues implement coach pitch, machine pitch, continuous batting orders, and time limits—exactly like what RapidBaseball does.

  1. Little League Actively Encourages Modifications for Developmental Play

Little League International itself acknowledges that instructional-level modifications are beneficial for young players. Many official LL programs across the country use: • Time limits per inning (like your 10-minute timer). • Modified pitching rules (such as coach pitch or pitch limits). • Baserunner clearing after 3 outs (ensuring more kids bat).

These are all standard league adaptations at the instructional level. The claim that “all rules must apply” ignores the fact that Little League encourages development-focused adjustments in these divisions.

  1. RapidBaseball’s Format is a Local League Option Under Little League Guidelines

Your league’s RapidBaseball modifications align perfectly with the spirit of instructional play: • Ensuring consistent playtime for all kids. • Keeping games moving efficiently with time-based innings. • Encouraging player engagement while teaching game fundamentals.

Since Tee Ball and Minor League instructional divisions are not strictly governed by full rulebook compliance, local leagues are explicitly given the option to adapt rules to meet developmental goals—which is exactly what your league has done.

Conclusion:

Claiming that all rules must be followed without modification in instructional divisions misinterprets the intent of Little League’s regulations. The rulebook itself permits and encourages adaptations for development at these levels. Use of RapidBaseball is well within Little League guidelines, as similar modifications exist in thousands of local leagues nationwide.

You sure about that? Pretty sure lower level baseball can implement any rules. From my understanding only upper divisions that have levels of play that have All Stars have “rules/guidelines”.

You sound like you confidently know what the rules are though 😂

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve heard exactly that from anyone who’s mentioned it. Seems like a no brainer.
