Quickball Level 1

4-6

Children league age 4 to 5 typically play Beginners Quickball. New players of league age 6 may find this to be a good fit as well. Quickball is a faster game appropriate for players of this age group. Young players must be able to follow directions and be willing to participate.  This is a training ground for our youngest players. For more info, see this presentation. Coed.

$160

Quickball Level 2

6-7

Quickball Level 2 will continue the progression of Quickball Level 1. The first half of the season will focus on the same principles and techniques of Quickball while the second half will shift focus to traditional baseball with safety baseballs, gloves, metal bats, and helmets. Coaches will pitch from a short distance and players will learn some of the fundamental rules of baseball. For players who were enrolled in the Rookies division in 2023, we recommend playing Sluggers in 2024 (or “A” softball). 7 year-olds who have played two years of Quickball are also encouraged to play Sluggers (or "A" Softball). Coed.

Sluggers

7-8

Instructional league aiming to bridge the gap between Quickball level 2 and AAA. Players at this level are beginning to make plays in the field, and can safely handle a ball thrown at face level (or deflect if not yet catching). The player successfully puts the ball in play in most coach-pitch at bats. Sluggers games will be comprised of six 3-out innings, use a soft-core baseball, and feature coach pitching. Emphasis is player safety and development. Sluggers is open to both boys and girls but 7-8 year-old girls may consider transitioning to our softball program. For players who were enrolled in the Rookies division in 2023, we recommend playing Sluggers in 2024 (or “A” softball). 7 year-olds who have played two years of Quickball are also encouraged to play Sluggers. More advanced 8 year-olds may consider AAA Baseball or AA Softball. Coed.

$200

AAA

8-9

Most players at this level have learned to consistently catch balls thrown at face level and above with the glove held vertically rather than horizontally. The player successfully puts the ball in play in most coach-pitch at bats. Players in this division will face a standard "hard" baseball. Games follow standard baseball rules, with kids pitching, but have modifications (coach pitching after 4 balls, limited stealing) to encourage player development. May be subject to player assessment. AAA BB is open to both boys and girls but 8-9 year-old girls may consider transitioning to our softball program. Coed.

$220

Minors*

9-11

Players participate in player assessments and, depending on their fielding and batting abilities, are drafted to play in the Minors or Majors division. Based on ability, players ages 10 and under may be placed at the AAA level for further player development and playing time. Player assessments are only used to equalize the formation of teams and not to determine whether a player plays in the league or not.

$265 + $30  Uniform Fee

Majors*

11-12

Players participate in player assessments and, depending on their fielding and batting abilities, are drafted to play in the Minors or Majors divisions. A player league age 11 may register for Majors but is not automatically rostered in the Majors division. Player assessments are only used to equalize the formation of teams and not to determine whether a player plays in the league or not.

$265 + $30  Uniform Fee

Intermediates / Juniors

13-14

Intermediate / Juniors provide an alternate playing experience versus more expensive select ball options. Play is more relaxed than select ball, but teams still play for league championships and field all-star teams. Intermediates take place on fields with 70' base paths, Juniors play 90'.

$295

Seniors

15-16

Depending on interest a Seniors division will be implemented.

$295
