Most players in this division are 11 and 12 years-old (who automatically make it), along with 10-year-olds with advanced skills. Evaluations are mandatory for every kid in this division because the players are selected by the coaches to ensure parity of teams. Player evaluation required, see below.

Juniors – Baseball ages 13-14.  Juniors and provides a great first step after Majors.  Play is on a “54-80” field (mound 54 feet from the plate and bases 80 feet apart) with leads, balks, and other more advanced baseball rules.   No player evaluation required.

Seniors – Baseball ages 15 and 16 years olds (though 14s can also play up), using a conventional “60-90” (full-sized high school field).  No player evaluation required.

Automatic Placement:  T-Ball, Farm and Juniors Divisions

When you sign up for T-Ball, Farm or Juniors, the division coordinators will automatically place your child according to their age appropriate level and will do their best to accommodate friend and coaching requests.  

Player Draft:  AA, AAA and Majors

Any player who meets the age requirements above and wishes to play in the AA, AAA or Majors division MUST go through a player evaluation as the formation of teams is based on a draft.  Note that a player CANNOT be evaluated for the next level until they have played at least one year at the prior level.   If a player is NOT selected at the next level, he/she will be automatically entered into the draft for the previous level.  More specifically:

• All 8 and 9 year olds that are not selected in the AA draft will be automatically placed on a Farm team;
• All 9 and 10 year olds that are not selected in the AAA draft will be automatically placed on a AA team;
• All 10 and 11 year olds that are not selected in the Majors draft will be eligible for the AAA draft; 
• All 12 year olds will be drafted onto a Majors teams if they try out;
