Traveling Youth Baseball League Grades 2-10 It is offered for grades 2-10 as the league states. East Central Youth Baseball will continue to participate in the Central MN Baseball League and will playing schools such as Hinckley, Mora, Pine City, Rush City, etc. Traveling baseball is a commitment but such a great opportunity for our area youth. The general time requirements are 2-3 evenings per week with games and practices. This is not a school sponsored event, so transportation is not provided to games. Communication is key as weather decisions can occur last minute. We do use an app that we have all parents/guardians download as our key communication tool.

Practices start in late April to early May (WEATHER PERMITTING) and we will communicate that directly with you as we figure out field time (and potential indoor gym time). Spring sports schedules get tight, especially with any spells of bad weather so we do end up having to be flexible at times with our practice days, times and possibly practice location. The regular season games will run from late-May through mid-July. The age brackets are based on your player’s current grade level (25-26 school year). All regular season games will be played during the weeknights at 6:30pm (unless there’s a makeup game) and run about two hours. 9U (2nd-3rd grade) typically on M/W 11U (4th/5th grade) typically on Tu/Th 13U (6th/7th grade) typically on M/W 16U (8-10th grade) typically on Tu/Th We want to give as many kids a chance to play as possible but if the team gets too large, we reserve the right to implement an alternate game play schedule.
