ABOUT 13U-15U BASEBALL
The number of teams offered at this level will depend on player registration and available coaches. Practices are typically held Monday through Thursday in the mid- to late-afternoon on non-game days, though morning, evening, or weekend practices may be scheduled depending on coaching availability. Teams compete against communities in Northwest Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota and typically participate in occasional weekend tournaments. We have historically provided bussing to most out-of-town weekday games, though driver availability will determine transportation arrangements. Parents are responsible for providing transportation to out-of-town weekend tournaments.
