Double elimination playoff round at the conclusion of the regular season.

For 10 year olds, this is an opportunity to continue to develop baseball skills and build confidence as some of the stronger players on their teams. Competition is introduced as games are scored, team standings are tracked, and there is a single elimination playoff round at the end of the regular season.

T-Ball
Introductory league for Players ages 5 or 6 as of April 30th of the Spring Season. Teams typically have 1 combination Practice/Game per week, typically played on Saturdays. All players bat and play the field each inning, typically 3 innings per game. Focus on having fun and introducing concepts of the game to our youngest players.
Parents...MYBI knows two years of T-Ball may not challenge all players equally as they develop skills individually. Unfortunately, we CANNOT honor requests to "play up" due to implications with the league's insurance and our Little League charter which sets birthday cutoff dates for each division on a national level.
Games and Practices - Scheduled for Saturdays April to June
