Majors
Majors builds on the fundamentals of kid-pitch baseball with a more traditional and competitive game experience. Players continue developing as pitchers, hitters, and fielders while learning more advanced baseball concepts, including situational defense, baserunning, and game strategy. The focus remains on development and fun while helping players become more confident, independent baseball players.
Suggested Ages
11U & 12U
(5th & 6th Grade)
Majors is designed primarily for 11U and 12U players with experience playing kid-pitch baseball. Players should have a solid foundation in throwing, catching, hitting, and fielding and be ready to continue developing those skills in a more advanced game environment. Players of varying ability levels are welcome, with an emphasis on continued growth and preparing them for the next level of baseball.
