League Willie Mays League is a competitive “Player Pitch” league focused on intermediate baseball “team” fundamentals.  Willie Mays League is for boys and girls ages 9 & 10.
Location All games/practices will be held on our surrounding St. Michael/Albertville Baseball Fields.
Teams All players at this level are required to try-out even if they do not plan to play travel baseball.  This allows the league to evenly distribute the talent based on their individual try-out score. Teams are formed using the try-out score OR picked at random by In House Vice President if no score is available.  Teams will be made up of 10 to 13 players per team.  There is no buddy request at this level.
