Junior Division   Ages 13 and 14

Airdrie Little League will commence the Junior League on or about April 21, 2007 in conjunction with all other District # 3 Junior Little League organizations. There will also be various regular season tournaments available to be played throughout the District in May and June 2007. Any Junior team may elect to participate in these tournaments, at the discretion of the Coach and consensus of team members. Please be advised that there may be additional fees required to cover the entry costs of such tournament play.

Junior players will be drafted by the President and Vice President in conjunction with the Junior Division Head Coaches, onto a Junior team under a process that serves to balance each Junior team to a collective skill level, in the interest of fair and competitive play.

Game schedules will be comprised with all other District # 3 Little Leagues and may involve both weekday evening and weekend games. Players may be expected to play weekend double-header games from time to time, to facilitate make-up games due to rain-outs, etc. Practice is mandatory and will be scheduled in conjunction with game schedules. This division is to play 18 regular season games followed by a playoff round at the end of June 2007. All players are required to arrive at the diamond at least one hour prior to game time for warm-up practice.

Player evaluations will be conducted for Junior baseball by the second week of April. It is the responsibility of each player registered to monitor the Little League Website or inquire for the venue and timing of player evaluations. After evaluations the League will enter into a player draft selection process for each team. Each player will then be immediately contacted by their respective Coach to advise them on pre-season practice and game schedules. All 13 - 14 year old players will automatically make a Junior team. Due to the large number of Junior teams throughout the Little League’s District # 3, all Junior teams will initially play in a “seeding round” at the start of the season. This round has historically involved six (6) games. District # 3 will then place each team in a regular season schedule to play with other District # 3 teams of a similar skill caliber for competitive and fair play.

All Junior Division home games will be played at the East Lake “lower” baseball diamond.
