MVAA PRACTICE/GAME INFO:

MVAA Baseball Divisons:

The age cutoff for all levels is April 30.  Thus, any child exceeding the maximum age in a division on April 30 must play the next level. 

Tee-ball
(Ages 5–6)

This is an instructional level to teach players the fundamentals of baseball and is an excellent opportunity for them to learn basic skills (catching, throwing, batting and fielding) as well as teamwork, group discipline, and sportsmanship.

Tee-ball teams are chosen strictly by age. The available players are evenly divided by age yearly to create as many teams as are necessary. We try to keep the total number of children to 8 or 10 per team.

8U
(Ages 8 and under)

Instruction continues at this level; development of the player’s skill is the primary goal. Players will learn to hit in a “machine-pitch” format. Though winning is de-emphasized, score is kept.

A mandatory player evaluation will take place, where players will be evaluated by volunteer coaches from the various divisions. After these evaluations, coaches and teams will be selected. The Director of Baseball has the final decision over all coaching selections. Please refer to the 2007 MVAA Baseball Guidelines for details.

10U
(Ages 10 and under)

There are two levels of play in the U10 division; Recreational and Select. In general, the Recreational level of each division is geared towards instruction, while Select level teams are intended for more skilled players who are ready for a higher degree of competition. In either case, these divisions are “kid pitch”, score and standings are kept, and a single-elimination tournament is held at season end to determine a league champion.

A mandatory player evaluation will take place, where players will be evaluated by volunteer coaches from the various divisions. After these evaluations, coaches and teams will be selected. The Director of Baseball has the final decision over all coaching selections.

Your child is guaranteed a spot on a team. Participation on a Select level team is by invitation only, and requires a higher level of commitment from both players and parents. Consequently, parents may elect for their child not to play at the Select level; if you do not want your child to be assigned to a Select level team, please indicate this on your registration form. Regardless of the level you wish your child to play, all players must attend the evaluation. Please refer to the 2007 MVAA Baseball Guidelines for details.

12U
(Ages 12 and under)

There are two levels of play in the U12 division; Recreational and Select. In general, the Recreational level of each division is geared towards instruction, while Select level teams are intended for more skilled players who are ready for a higher degree of competition. In either case, these divisions are “kid pitch”, score and standings are kept, and a single-elimination tournament is held at season end to determine a league champion.

A mandatory player evaluation will take place, where players will be evaluated by volunteer coaches from the various divisions. After these evaluations, coaches and teams will be selected. The Director of Baseball has the final decision over all coaching selections.

Your child is guaranteed a spot on a team. Participation on a Select level team is by invitation only, and requires a higher level of commitment from both players and parents. Consequently, parents may elect for their child not to play at the Select level; if you do not want your child to be assigned to a Major level team, please indicate this on your registration form. Regardless of the level you wish your child to play, all players must attend the evaluation. Please refer to the 2007 MVAA Baseball Guidelines for details

14U
(Ages 13-14)
The Mid-Maryland Baseball League is for 14U recreational level play, and the Mid-Atlantic Baseball Association ("MABA") is for 14U Select level play and older play.   For further information regarding Tri-County Baseball, MABA, and the Mid-Maryland Baseball League, please visit their respective web sites listed under our main baseball tab.

17U
(Ages 15-17)

Beyond age 14U, all play is considered to be Select level play and players must try-out and make their team.  All play is governed by the rules & guidelines set forth by our parent organizations, with local modifications.
