"The league is very well run and creates an atmosphere of true rec, which i appreciate being offered for the kids who want to do baseball, but not travel." 

Minors Parent

Find your division

The suggested ages are intended as guidelines, not strict requirements. Every child develops at their own pace, and skill level and experience can be just as important as age when choosing a division.

This is particularly true for our Tee Ball and Rookies divisions, where children of similar ages may have very different levels of experience and readiness.

We encourage families to carefully review each division's description to determine which level best matches their child's current abilities and provides the most appropriate opportunity to learn, grow, build confidence, and enjoy baseball.
