Spring 90' baseball for all players age 13 to 16 is played on the full-sized big diamond with 90' bases, 60'6" pitching distance, using "real" baseball rules like leading off, balks, and headfirst slides. See the home page for equipment requirements.

The season starts in April and ends in early June. There are usually 3 events (game or practices) per week, on weekdays and weekends, including Sundays.

There is some limited travel, with games played both in town and with teams from Methuen, Andover, Haverhill, and perhaps Lawrence.

Age Brackets are as follows:

Juniors Prep League is for players age 13 or 14.

Babe Ruth League is for players age 14, 15, or 16. Note: games are scheduled to avoid any conflicts with any NAHS freshman and JV baseball games.

It is recommended players register where those in their grade are registering. For example, a 14-year old 7th grader might choose to register for Prep, but a more advanced 13-year old 8th grader may choose Babe Ruth. There is flexibility for parents to choose what's best for their children.

NOTE TO HIGH SCHOOL PLAYERS: Yes, you can play both HS ball and North Andover Youth Baseball (town ball). The NAHS coach, Todd Dulin, encourages players to play both if they wish. The high school team will be your priority in the event of a conflict, but NA Youth Baseball works closely with NAHS to avoid schedule conflicts and overuse, especially of pitchers. There have been many players who did both without any issues, so we encourage you to register early - if you make a HS team and choose to drop out of NA Youth Baseball, please let us know as soon as you can.
