Season Information
There are seven age divisions that range from
Kindergarten to 11th grade. Practices will begin in early May and games
will start mid May. The season will end mid July, with the possible
exception of the Majors and Minors all-star games. Normally there will
be two games, two practices, or a practice/game combination scheduled per
week. Each division (Mites - Majors) will be divided up into two leagues and have
their games and practices scheduled on either a Monday and Wednesday
night league or a Tuesday and Thursday night league. Friday evenings and weekends
will be used only if necessary.

Please consider volunteering your time to the In
House Baseball program. We are in need of age coordinators, database
