Teams
How are teams are organized?
The league is organized into two House divisions – Majors and Prep. Each division normally will consist of 6-12 teams, depending on the number of players registered.
The Majors Division is made up of 14- and 15-year-old players (typically eighth and ninth graders) with a maximum of seven 15-year-olds on a team. Majors games are played on a standard field with 90-foot base paths and 60' 6'' pitching.
The Prep Division is for 13-year-old players (typically seventh graders). The Prep Division plays with infield base paths set at 75-85 feet and pitching distance at 52-54 feet. In addition, the league offers a Travel Team opportunity to players based on their interest and ability.
Travel Teams: Three teams (one each for players at the 13, 14 and 15 age levels) are selected on the basis of pre-season tryouts to compete in the highest level Metro Baseball League (MBL) division (AAA). The Metro Baseball League games will involve home and away games against similar teams from a region generally encompassing the Southwestern Metro area. Typically, Metro Baseball League teams play a 16-game regular season schedule plus a year-end tournament. In addition, Travel teams will play in approximately 4-5 weekend tournaments in May, June and July. Each Travel team will have 12-15 players.
Tournament Teams are also formed at each age level. Players on the Tournament Teams also play on House Prep and Majors division teams. Players are selected based on interest and ability as part of the same pre-season tryout process used to select the Travel Team members, however, Tournament Teams are not announced until 1-2 weeks into the season. Tournament Teams will play in 2-4 weekend tournaments in May, June and July. Tournament weekends are scheduled whenever possible not to conflict with House league games. Tournament teams will have 12-15 players.
