Spring League Information for Various Ages
The baseball program is divided into leagues based on ages for the kids. In order to maintain the proper level of competition in each league and to allow developing players to benefit from playing with more experienced players, all players are required to play only in their proper and assigned league, except where a safety concern dictates playing in a lower division. All leagues play at least 1 games per week on pre-designated days. Player's eligible age is determined by the players age as of May 1st through April 30th of the following year. For example, if your son or daughter is 8 and turns 9 on May 20th, they will be placed in the 8 year old level of baseball evaluations. Keep in mind, children can be placed in different baseball/softball levels based on skills plus number of years in the program. As you will notice, ages overlap leagues to assist on the level.
