GENERAL INFORMATION

TEAMS

Little League , Junior League  and Senior League  will be graded into one of two divisions for each age group, and if more than 1 team in any division, teams will also be as even as possible.

​

Spring Training commences in August. It is crucial players attend all spring trainings and all juniors attend their grading day so that a fair assessment of their skills can be made, and team allocations can be done.  Some age groups may continue to train in squads to better gauge player abilities before being allocated into equal strength teams.
