How are teams formed?
For T-ball, Farm and AA levels, the teams are selected based on school and geography. We try to create teams with players which live within close proximity to each other. For AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors teams are selected through a draft process. After tryouts are completed, the league holds a draft for each league. During the draft, each of the team managers select eligible players from the draft.
Do I have to try out?
Try-outs are mandatory for all players wishing to play in AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors. Those wishing to play in T-ball, Farm and AA do not need to try out.
What division will my child play in?
The league is comprised of 7 divisions: T-ball, Farm, AA, AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors. Position in each division is determined by the players age and ability.

You may request a coach for T-ball, Farm and AA only.

You may request to play together with a buddy for T-ball, Farm and AA only.
