FALL RECREATION BASEBALL LEAGUES (for boys and girls)
The baseball program is divided into leagues based on school grade. In order to maintain the proper level of competition in each league and to allow developing players to benefit from playing with more experienced players, all players are required to play only in their proper and assigned league, except where a safety concern dictates playing in a lower division. All leagues play at least 2 games per week on
pre-designated days.
The divisions are as follows:
