Intermediate Baseball
League Age 13
League Age 12 may play pending skills evaluation and 3 years of baseball and skills assessment. If there are enough 13 year olds, 12 year olds will be required to attend the Majors Tryouts.

This division incorporates and encourages a higher skill level to allow more competitive level of play. Intermediate continues the development of skills, pitching, and strategy. The field is a 50/70 size, making a small jump between the two divisions. All players will be placed on a team. Younger players may be moved down a division, if Coach and Player Agent feels they are not ready for this division. 

• TEAMS: Majors teams are made up of 12-14 players. Teams are created after registrations have closed.
• TRYOUT PROCESS: Depending on interest, it may not be necessary for a skills assessment.
• EQUIPMENT AND UNIFORM: Team uniform of hat, jersey, and pants are provided by SLL. Each team is issued catcher's gear, bats and helmets. Players may use their Little League approved USA Baseball bat or any legal baseball gear they choose. Glove and cleats are required for all players.
• PRACTICES: Starting as soon as the snow thaws, end of April beginning of May. Coaches’ preference on how often to practice. Teams will usually have 2 practices per week until the season begins, then 2 game and 1 practice each week. Practices and games typically last 2 hours total with pre-game warm ups. Practices can be included during game nights.

• VOLUNTEERS: Parent participation is necessary on many levels from Coaching, Umpiring, Field Preparation, Score Keeping, Team Parent, etc. If there is not a volunteer umpire available, we ask that a parent in the stands steps in to allow the game to proceed.
• MANAGER and COACH: Two coaches and one manager may request to be paired together prior to team formation. While attempts are made to honor requests, they are not guaranteed.

SLL reserves the right to move players from one level to another for safety reasons as well as to accommodate the most players depending on interest at each level. This is done at the Coach and Player Agents discretion.
