Bambino (3-4 year olds): This is a fun, instructional league for both boys and girls. Emphasis is on learning the skills and rules of baseball while having a good time. Players participate in one or two games per week, and no score is kept. Safety is stressed, and a softer ball is used. Please see our FAQ section for more information on Bambino and the equipment needed. If this is your first time considering our league for your child and you have any questions, please email Fossilparkbaseballsoftball@gmail.com

T-Ball (5-6 year olds): Winning and losing are secondary to teaching young kids about baseball.  A softer ball is used, and safety is paramount. Tee ball is also for boys and girls.

8U  (7-8 year olds): This is the next step after T-Ball. Cal Ripken Rules require the use of a pitching machine. This is the first season that a hard baseball is used, and we keep score to teach the players good sportsmanship whether they win or lose the game.

10U  (9-10 year olds): This is the first season that the players pitch.

12U  (11-12 year olds): Leading and stealing is allowed.

15U Non-competitive (13-15 year olds)

All teams play with a 12-player roster. Players are guaranteed to play for 6 outs on defense and get at least one turn at bat in each game. Score is kept in all divisions, and official umpires call the games.  Cal Ripken and Babe Ruth Baseball rules are followed. Assessments are held prior to the season, and a draft is done to form the teams. 

Divisions-

Cal Ripken Rookie is ages 7-8
