Major League
The Major League is our most competitive baseball league for players between the ages of 10 - 12. The intent of the league is to provide the highest level of competition possible within the frameworks of a "Little League" based program. While we are not affiliated with Little League International (The Williamsport program you see on TV) we do use their rules as a framework as we were at one-time a member. Today we are an independant organization. Players selected to a team remain on that team until they age out as a 12 year old. Teams play 3 games per week over a 17 game season, followed by a pre-determined playoff structure. The spring participants are elgible for consideration in the summer Tondorf and Sizzler tournaments. Teams will practice at least twice per week with most practicing 3 times per week making this a 6 day per week commitment. Players are invited to participate in our end of season Field Day.
