AAA – 10, 11, 12 yr olds
Commissioner: Daryl Weber
Player Birthdates: May 1st, 1999 to April 30, 2002
The AAA league is designed to reinforce fundamental and advanced concepts of youth baseball in a friendly yet competitive environment with a strong emphasis on instruction and skill development. A winner / loser is determined during each game, standings are posted throughout the season, and the post season includes a playoff tournament concluding with a league champion.
Players are assigned to teams by the league through a process including tryouts, and a draft by the coaches for each team. Any player not selected for Majors will automatically be placed into the AAA league. If an 11-12 yr old does NOT want to be considered for Majors, he/she must contact the Player Agent when the tryout letter arrives.
Typically, each team has 11-12 players and a minimum of 9 players must be present to play a game; An average of 3-4 events (games, practices) per week can be expected (typically, fewer events during fall seasons).
