Teenage – Calgary West Little League Baseball

Teenage Division

Teenage Divisions (age 13-16)

In the Teenage Division there are usually 10 to 12 players per team and they are selected onto teams after an evaluation process before the start of the season.

There are a maximum of nine players in the field defensively for each inning. Players are rotated through the infield and outfield positions and may sit for one or two innings at the discretion of the coaches.

"Teammate" requests for team placement are NOT accepted in the Rookie, Minor, Major and Teenage Divisions. "Sibling" requests for team placement will be considered at all levels for players eligible to play within the same division.

When do we play?

Games will take place on any day of the week, including weekends. Practices will occur at the team head coach's discretion on open days during the week. Frequency of games and practices for teams is approximately 2 games and 2 practices per week.

For events occurring during the week - start times are 6:30 PM. For weekends the start times can be anywhere from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Games and practices will commence late April and run until late June.
