There are no minimum requirements for advancement related to skills, experience or baseball knowledge. Girls and boys play on the same teams. Players of all abilities are welcome, and encouraged to participate. The primary goal of the league for the players is to have fun and have a change to play organized baseball. We work hard to ensure that we provide the coaching and instruction that will allow each player to develop his or her skills and baseball knowledge to the extent possible and desired.
