Major Division (Ages 11 & 12)
The Cal Ripken Majors Division is the pinnacle of the Cal Ripken experience at Crown, offering the most experienced and competitive level of youth baseball with noticeable consistency and advanced play. Here, the kids truly demonstrate how much they have learned since Quickball, with pitchers consistently throwing strikes, batters getting stronger and more frequent hits, and fielders making advanced, high-velocity throws. This division fully implements core baseball rules like leading off and stealing bases from the moment the pitcher begins their motion, increasing the need for sophisticated baseball tactics and strategy. Playing on a larger diamond, the game accelerates and features more explosive offense, with Home Runs becoming a more frequent sight during the season. Teams work together and encourage each other to win, and even as their time at Crown draws to a close, coaches continue to teach and prepare these special pre-teens with the skills, game intelligence, and competitive spirit needed to play baseball for years to come.
Game Days: Anytime Monday - Thursday evenings (~1 hour 30 mins)
12 games + Crown Classic Tournament
