This division is for all eligible 7th graders, 6th, and 5th graders – although younger/less experienced 5th graders may choose to play in the Minors division instead by noting that in the Special Request section of Registration. 

Minors - Cost - $230.00. Combined with Redding Baseball, the minors players will play on the traditional 46/60 field – features full kid pitch, stealing, etc. This division is for 5th (those choosing to not play in Majors), 4th, and 3rd graders.

Please note the following key info (specifically for 1st, 3rd, 5th graders) regarding registration and our baseball division breakout for the 2021 Spring Season: The registration website will automatically assign your child a division based on their Date of Birth. Thus, younger (born after April 30th) 5th, 3rd and 1st graders may automatically get assigned to Minors/Rookies/T-Ball at registration – we will manually fix this post-registration based on grade level. 

Play-ups are at the sole discretion of the Easton Baseball League Executive Board and President. Play-ups will be granted strictly based on safety concerns. Also note, for a player to be eligible to participate in Summer baseball, they must be registered and participate in the 2021 EBL spring season.
