Minors 9 Baseball Information

ESAA will separate the 9 & 10yr olds into two leagues when there are enough players.

This maximizes the play time and exposure to key positions for the younger players on a team.

Players are drafted to balance ability levels.

Rules are the same as the 9yr old league.

Games are played at Edgebrook.
