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.
