Grade 5, 6 & 7 (Divisions Age Chart)
This is the most competitive and skilled level in Kerrisdale Little League and requires a high degree of commitment from both coaches, parents and players. This division is primarily for baseball age 11 - 12 year olds; however, some highly skilled 10 year olds may be considered based on their previous year's coach assessment and pre-season assessment scores.
All players wishing to play Majors are required to attend KLL pre-season assessments. Coaches draft players onto teams based on pre-season assessment scores; consequently there are no friendship requests. There are generally 11 - 12 players per team. Scores are kept, standings maintained, and there are playoffs.
Every player will receive a T-shirt, individualized participation trophy, and a professional team photo during the season.
