This is the league for Returning Major League Players as well as the most skilled 10- and 11-year-old players.  All new players wishing to play in this league must tryout.  12 year olds are automatically placed on a Majors team unless parents of a given child and the League agree that Minors is more appropriate.  All players must attend a tryout/workout.  A 10- or 11-year-old player who tries out, but is not drafted, will automatically be placed on a Minor League team.  This league is the most competitive level available.  There is a three-inning minimum defensive play rule in this league.  All players are in the batting order at all times, whether or not playing defense when it is their turn at bat.  Teams play two or three games per week (Saturday afternoon/evening and weeknights), plus one weeknight practice.  Teams are formed in late January and will practice (indoors and outdoors) 2-3 times per week until the season starts.
