Majors
Spring - Majors A - 11-12 Year Olds
Majors A | 11 & 12 Year Olds
Our objectives at this level are to assist the players in refining and mastering the skills that have been presented thus far. An emphasis is placed on accomplishment and player positioning is becoming more defined. This division will feature our most competitive atmosphere and will be open to our highest skilled 11 and 12 yr old players (pending evaluations). Occasionally, 10 year olds that can compete at this level may be considered. All players must take part in a two-part evaluation process (fielding & batting) in order to balance teams and ensure players are placed in the appropriate division based on ability, skill level and safety considerations.
Players will begin to narrow their focus on a few positions where the majority of their game time will be played. There is still mandatory play at the Major A level but it does not have to be comparable innings in the infield/outfield and there is no guarantee that players will pitch or catch in games.
Tryouts for post-season teams are open to all players from this division.
Spring - Majors B - 10-12 Year Olds
Majors B | 10-12 year old's
Majors is the highest level of play for this age group. The Majors division is divided into Major A and B levels. Players are required to attend a 2 part evaluation process (fielding and batting) to play in these divisions in order to balance teams and ensure players are placed in the appropriate division based on ability, skill level and safety considerations. The number of teams in each division will be determined by the registration numbers and level of play. Players who don’t make a Major A team will be considered for Major B and if a player doesn’t make a Majors team after evaluations, they will still have a spot reserved for them in the Minors division where they can continue to hone their skills.
A full competitive game of baseball is played (6 innings, with 3 outs). All games will have umpires, and parents are all expected to keep proper scores and pitch counts. The schedule will consist of at least 2 games and at least 1 practice a week. Players will usually be expected to show up at least an hour before scheduled game times to properly warm up. Team standings will be recorded and used to seed teams during playoffs at the end of the regular season.
Tryouts for postseason teams are open to all players from this division.
