Informal coach pitch program for ages 5 and 6 year olds (and 7 year olds whose parents feel their child is not ready for a player pitch league). The program will meet two days per week (TBD) for approximately 90 minutes. The format will be roughly 45 minutes of skills and drills, 45 minutes of a scrimmage game with the players being grouped by skill level, based on the players in attendance each night.

 

Division Price: $75.00 - ends on 7/1/2021 at 11:45 PM.

 

Most players will compete in the Merrimack Valley Small Diamond League (MVSDL). This is a PLAYER PITCH league which competes against teams from nearby towns, so there is some TRAVEL involved. This league plays approximately 8 games (half of which are played in North Andover), with a single-elimination playoff to conclude the season in early August. Every effort is made to schedule all of the games on weeknights (Mondays-Fridays). Practices are scheduled at the coaches' discretion.

North Andover Youth Baseball has decided to give parents the option of signing up their 11/12-year-old kids to compete on either a 46'/60' or a 50'/70' diamond. The 50/70 division is the same diamond size and rules as the spring Majors division in NA Youth Baseball, while the 46'/60' option is on a slightly smaller diamond (the same size as the fields at Carl Thomas). Note: Any kids signed up for 46'/60' will be automatically rolled over into the 50'/70' division if we do not receive enough registrations to field at least 1 team in the 46'/60' 11/12-year-old MVSDL division, unless a parent indicates that their child would rather not play if he/she cannot play 46'/60'.

North Andover will also enter one 9U, one 10U, one 11U, and one 12U team into the Cal Ripken District tournament. These teams will also participate in the Bay State Tournament of Champions. Any player who is selected for and opts to play on a District team are not eligible to play on an MVSDL team. There is also an additional $100 fee for players who are selected and choose to play on a District Team. Baseball for these teams can run as late as mid-August and has a higher commitment required than Merrimack Valley Small Diamond League baseball.

 

Division Price: $140.00 - ends on 5/27/2021 OR until teams are full.
