Baseball is a game that combines skill, timing, athleticism and strategy. Some people think it is the ultimate combination.  It is a game that is enjoyable to watch and play, both as a child as well as an adult.  Engage your child early in the sport of baseball.  Not only will you bring enjoyment to your whole family as participants and spectators, you will also be promoting and developing involvement in an activity that can be enjoyed throughout teenage and adult years as part of a healthy and wholesome livestyle.

Even if you or your child(ren) haven't played in years, or never played at all, you can feel confident that your child will benefit from a league and and volunteers that all share the desire to see every child has the opportunity to have fun learning to play baseball.  Rules have been constructed to ensure participation and the atmosphere is what you make it.  Nothing beats cheering for your son or daughter at the part on a beautiful spring night.

All divisions have specific rules that enforce player rotation between the infield, outfield and bench defensive positions.
