Congratulations to our Midget National team for winning State! We had many other teams make it there as well. Good job! We will have a general meeting on Wednesday, Oct 1 at 5pm. We'll meet by the football field at St Therese School on NE 132nd and Halsey. If there's someone interested in a board position, they need to attend in order to be voted in. So if you have someone in mind, please invite them to this meeting. • President
Why Junior Baseball over the others? Junior Baseball uses modified high school rules. If your child wants to learn the game and learn how to be competitive to continue playing in high school, we give them the opportunity. We allow lead-offs and stealing. We move the pitcher mound and basepath as the children grow. We keep like ages together. We don’t have all-stars because every team stays together and all kids get to play; no one sits the entire game on the bench! Player Development: Playing Field: Our field size is adjusted for each of three age levels. This allows players to play on a field that matches their strength. Less often does a single player dominate a game. At the same time the quality of play is better at the lesser skill levels. Real Baseball Rules: Players learn skills and tactics consistent with high school rules. Base runners lead off, pitchers throw from the stretch, and at most levels a "dropped third strike" is live. This helps players develop more quickly and gain a more advanced understanding of the game. At the same time, our lesser skill and age levels play with a per inning run limit to keep the score and game in perspective. Scheduling: Our season is more focused on summer play than other organizations. We generally begin in mid to late May and continue through July. Teams that wish to play more enter tournaments, available at all levels, on weekends. Recognition: Midgets through Seniors, at all skill levels, compete for berths in County and State competition against other teams in their skill and age levels.
