Baseball Quotes

What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brusher her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third.

Team Divisions

We have divisions of play for ages 4-19, with the intention to keep players ages as close as possible for both physical and social levels of compatibility. The following lists indicate the preferred ages in each division. We allow some flexibility in determining level of play on an individual basis from a safety and developmental standpoint.

Over the age of 13 there is both house league and rep play available suiting different levels of interest, commitment and competition.
