Age Cutoffs:

For Baseball, League age is age of player as of April 30, 2012.  For Softball, League age is age of player as of Dec 31, 2011.

Who is eligible:

Boys and Girls, age (see above) 5-12 who live in the towns of Jericho and West Bolton.  Residents of proper age from Underhill can play Softball.

Farm League:

Farm League is an introductory and instructional division. Each player receives a hat and t-shirt. Games are played on Saturday morning, with one practice during the week. Practice nights will be determined at the start of the season and will be based on field availability and the preferences of coach and team members.  There are 3 divisions based on age, experience/ability. Coaches can advise which level is correct. Director will set the teams such that the numbers, age, ability are balanced. Farm league runs through June 16^th.

Softball:

Softball will  have 2-3 teams, one mostly ages 11&12 and the other ages 8-10.  7 year olds can play softball with approval of the Softball Director. Approval will depend on ability and number of players. Softball teams play their games against other towns, various days of the week, and various locations.

Baseball:

Baseball has 2 divisions (Major & Minor). Major games are generally M/W/F, while minors are T/TH/SAT. Teams will be selected based on a draft by the head coaches that will follow Baseball’s spring training event.  In general, Minors are for 9 and 10 year olds and Majors are for 11and12 year olds.  No 7 year olds will be allowed to play.  8 year olds may be allowed to play in the Minors and 10 year olds allowed in the Major division with the approval of the director of Baseball.  Eligibility is based on ability and space availability in the appropriate division.  These players must be present at the baseball Spring Training event to be considered, or schedule a separate skill evaluation prior to Spring Training.

Summer League:

Jericho has fielded a summer “fun” league baseball team for the past several years. These are games against other towns, during the week in July and early August. We will be doing this again if there is enough interest from players and coaches.

All Star:  (Tourney teams):

Jericho is part of D-3 in Vt. The towns of D-3 are eligible to field various all-star teams. The best available players are selected from the spring season teams to field these teams.  Players must play in the appropriate division based on age, not the division played in during spring season.  These teams participate in the D-3 tournaments until they are eliminated. For the 11/12 year old teams, the tourney can extend all the way to the regional and national level.
