Season Details
We will run FOUR divisions again this year: ROOKIE, FARM, MINORS, and MAJORS. Please carefully read the descriptions below before proceeding to registration.
The ROOKIE division is for kids ages 5-6. It provides a gentle introduction to baseball, teaching the fundamentals of catching, throwing and hitting. This is a machine-pitch division.
The FARM division is for kids ages 7-8. This is a machine-pitch division for players ready for a fun-filled baseball experience. The focus is on the fundamentals: catching, throwing, hitting.
The MINORS division is for kids ages 8-11. This is a kid-pitch division with a focus on skills development.
The minors division is subject to a draft. Although most 8-year-olds will play in the farm division, 8-year-olds who attend assessments are eligible for minors (but will only "play up" if they are DRAFTED onto a minors team). If your 8-year-old wants to play minors, then chose this division when you register -- be aware that this does not guarantee a spot in minors. Also, 11-year-olds who are new to baseball have the option of playing in minors (choose this option if you want your player to be drafted onto a minors team).
The MAJORS division is for kids ages 10-12. This is a kid-pitch division with a focus on skills development and learning the finer points of the game. The majors division is subject to a draft. Although most 10-year-olds will play minors, they are eligible for majors (but will only "play up" if they are DRAFTED onto a majors team). If your 10-year-old is interested in playing minors, then choose this division when you register -- be aware that this does NOT guarantee a spot in majors.
Assessments will be will be held on Saturday, January 28. Assessments are MANDATORY for all players who are League Age 9-12; assessments are OPTIONAL for players who are League Age 8. (A player's LEAGUE AGE is their age on August 31, 2023. See the LEAGUE AGE CHART for more details.)
Practices start in mid-February. Farm and rookie teams will have 2 practices per week during this preseason period (days and times will be chosen by the coaches). Minors and Majors will have 2-3 practices per week (days and times will be chosen by the coaches).
Opening Day is scheduled for Saturday, March 18 and the season runs through the late May. Rookie and Farm teams will typically have 1 practice and 1 game per week. Majors and minors teams will typically have 1 practice and 2 games per week.
See you on the diamond soon!
