Information about the 2013 season
Opening Day - April 13 for 4-12yo divisions.
T-Ball - 4yo and 5yo must play T-Ball. 6yo with a year of t-ball experience can try out to play Coach Pitch. T-Ball starts with a clinic on March 16. Games or practices are twice a week, usually one weeknight and one Saturday.
Jr Minors (coach pitch) - this group consists of some 6yo, all 7yo, and some 8yo. Coaches pitch to the players. Player evaluation sessions are on March 9. This division also has games or practices twice a week, usually one weeknight and one Saturday.
Minors (kids pitch) - this division includes some 8yo, all 9yo, and some 10yo and 11yo. Kids pitch for the first time and there are some rules that keep the games manageable (continuous batting order, limited runs per inning, limited steals of home, 4 OFers, etc.). This division interleagues with Capitol Little League. Player evaluation session for 8 and 9yo on March 9. For 10-11 yo on March 2-3.
Majors - this division is for top 10yo and 11yo, plus all 12 yo. Very competitive division that interleagues with Capitol Little League. Tryouts on March 2-3 for players not already on team. Exact times to be determined.
Juniors - introduction to the full-sized field (90' base paths, 60'6" pitchers mound) for 13-14yo. Interleagues with many other Little Leagues. Season starts in late April to minimize conflicts with CYM and high school play.
Seniors - 15 and 16yo division. Also interleagues with many other Little Leagues and starts in late April.
At the end of the regular season, all-star teams are picked for 8yo, 9yo, 10yo, 11-12yo, 13-14yo, and 15-16yo. These teams compete in double-elimination district tourneys against all-star teams from other leagues. 10yo and older teams can advance beyond the district level. There is also an 11-12yo 'B' team that plays in the Brandywine Invitational Tourney each year. These teams are selected by the managers (though the Major division players vote for the 11-12yo team).

Midway History
Midway was founded in 1965. The league operated on a number of school and parkland fields before consolidating at the current Forest Oak/YMCA complex. John Tirrell, who is still a board member and key person in the league, was one of the founders in 1965.
Despite being one of the smallest leagues in Delaware's District II, Midway has had many strong all-star teams, especially between 1989 and 2001. Here is a rundown of the top all-star teams in Midway history:
1. The 1996 Senior All-Stars won the District II title, the Delaware State Championship, the Eastern Regional Championship, and finished 3rd in the World Series in Kissimmee, Fla.
2. The 2001 Major All-Stars won the District II title the hard way, winning 7 straight games in the losers bracket, then won the Delaware State Championship, and went 2-2 in the Mid-Atlantic Regionals in Bristol, CT.
3. The 1989 Senior All-Stars won the District II title, the Delaware State Championship, and came in 2nd in the Mid-Atlantic Regionals.
4. The 1994 Junior All-Stars won the District II title and came in second in the Mid-Atlantic Regional.
5. The 1993 Major All-Stars won the District II title but lost in the state finals.
6. The 1995 Junior All-Stars won the District II title but lost in the state finals.
7. Midway won District II 10 year old titles in 1991, 1992, and 2007.
8. Midway won the District II 9 year old title in 1998.
9. Midway won the Brandywine Invitational for 11-12 year olds and the Midway Invitational for 13-14yo in 2001.
10. Midway won the Canal Invitational for 13-14 year olds in 2004.
Midway has never had a player reach the Major Leagues, but has had several play in the Minor leagues. It also has one player in the NHL (Mark Eaton of the New York Islanders, who won a Stanley Cup when he played for the Penguins).
