The Major League is competitive and designed for players to have fun while learning more about the game.  The league builds upon the basic fielding and hitting skills while introducing the more complex baseball rules (e.g., leading, dropped 3rd strike).  The league's goal is to teach the players teamwork, the responsibilities of being a team member, respect, and sportsmanship, as well as to develop their baseball skills, all in a positive environment. Good sportsmanship and skills development are emphasized over winning.

In April, we start with practice, which is usually (1) weekday evening and (1) Saturday. The season starts in May and consists of approximately 12 games (twice per week, one weekday and 1 Saturday). While we do not keep standings during the season, we do hold a playoff that usually lasts (2) weeks, starting in mid-June. We normally play interleague games with LYAA (based in Wauconda, IL), which enables us to play in different venues.

The teams are formed through a player draft based partly on evaluation data from a previous season. If this is your first season playing with us, don't worry! Your player will be randomly assigned. Requests to pair players are not accepted; this is done to create a competitive balance across the league.

Players in this league also qualify to try out for our Grizzlies Part-Time Travel Program, which plays a more competitive schedule of home games and 2-3 area tournaments (See Part-Time Travel Grizzlies Page).
