DIVISIONS
FALL BASEBALL
Fall Baseball is offered as a developmental league to allow players additional opportunities to develop skills and understanding of baseball. Fall Baseball is only offered for Coach Pitch, Minors, and Majors and will participate in the MSYBL.
This season is an opportunity for players moving up to another division the following Spring to try out the older age division. For example: An 8 year old played Coach Pitch in the Spring, but will move up to Minors the following Spring. This 8 year old is eligible for Fall Baseball at Minors level. If you are NOT moving up to an older division next Spring, you would sign-up for the appropriate age group. For example, A 7 year old played Coach Pitch in the Spring, and will still be in Coach Pitch the following Spring. This 7 year old would sign-up for Coach Pitch.
