The player's age level will be determined by their age as of August 31, 2023 (with the exception of a tee ball four-year-old). For example, a player turning nine years old on September 1, 2023 will be considered an eight-year-old.
*Child must turn four by April 30, 2023.
Our Senior division teams will compete in a house league with teams from Lancaster, West Seneca, Clarence, MMB, and South Buffalo. Players aged 13-15 are eligible and travel players can participate.
Equipment
Players will need their own glove, mouth guard and pants (color usually determined by the coach). A bat and helmet is also required, but teams will have some to share if a player does not have their own. We highly recommend all players wear a heart guard. Rubber baseball spikes are strongly recommended. Metal spikes are only allowed at the Senior level.
