Varsity Baseball
Varsity Baseball is comprised of 7th & 8th graders. We have an agreement with St. John Vianney that if either school cannot field a team we combine teams to ensure an opportunity for all to play.
The league has more traditional baseball rules and plays on 90’ diamonds. The regular season consists of 8 – 10 games, league playoffs and Diocesan playoffs. The season usually starts with the St. Francis tournament in mid- August. The regular season starts in September and playoffs can run until the end of October.
Junior Varsity Baseball
JV Baseball is generally a league for 5th & 6th graders. We have historically included 4th graders in an effort to field a team and allow our 4th graders to experience baseball at a higher level. Practice starts in mid-August with games starting in early September. Playoffs run from the beginning of October to late October.
The regular season generally consists of games two days a week starting at 4:30 PM (due to darkness restrictions). Keep in mind that if there are rainouts, games may be more frequent than 2 days a week to accommodate rescheduling. The season generally consists of 8 – 10 regular season games and playoffs (depending upon how the team does). Games are 6 innings. We play on a 60’ diamond and home games are played on the QOH diamond.
This league allows “modified” stealing, bunting and we don’t bat the entire bench. It is possible for your child to play 3 innings in the field and not get an at-bat. Please prepare you child for these things so that they are not disappointed. This league is a great way to transition our players from “little league” rules to more traditional baseball rules.
