T-Ball / Coach Pitch Division (Kindergarten and 1st grade) - Wednesdays & Saturdays
Rookie Division (2nd and 3rd grades) - Thursdays & Saturdays
Junior Division (4th and 5th grades) - Mondays & Fridays
Senior Division (6th, 7th and 8th grades) - Mondays & Fridays
Please note that the above days are not set and may need to be changed for any number of reasons. The game schedule will be finalized following registration and the formation of teams.
