Juniors (League Ages 12U-14U)

This division is for players considered league ages 12U-14U. Players who are considered 14U are guaranteed a spot on a Juniors team. This level continues to build on hitting, pitching, and fielding skills at a higher level. We recommend that first-year players that are league-age 12 or 13 play in the Intermediate division to build their skill set prior to playing in Juniors. Only highly skilled 12 and 13-year-olds will be eligible for Juniors.

League age charts can be located here.

Schedule: Three events per week, each 2 hours, including potential Saturdays. Players will play home games, as well as away games at other District 1 fields throughout both Spring and Fall seasons.

Field Specifications: 60-foot, 6-inch pitching distance and 90-foot base paths.

Tryouts & Draft:
For spring season: players registered for Juniors may be required to attend evaluations, depending on the number of players registered. This division does involve a draft when tryouts are required, but all players will be placed on a team in the appropriate division based on their skill set. Players who are eligible for both Intermediate and Juniors are not guaranteed placement on a Juniors team. They could be placed on a team in the Intermediate division. Their placement will be determined by the coaches after attending evaluations.

For fall season: Players can request to play for a specific team/coach. Every effort will be made to accommodate requests; however, fulfillment cannot be guaranteed.

Team Formation: If we are unable to field a team at this level, players will have the option to play on a team for another league within our district as space allows.

All-Stars: Players can be eligible for All-Stars at this level. If the player attends tryouts, meets Little League International requirements and District requirements, they may receive an invitation from our league to tryout for All-Stars.
