3rd(9U) - 4th(10U) GRADE BASEBALL UPDATE
New Baseball Evaluation Process
Beginning this Spring, Community Recreation and Youth Baseball Organization (GLYB) are partnering to create a clearer, more unified pathway for all 3rd and 4th grade players interested in baseball.
Any 3rd or 4th grade boy who plans to play baseball will need to attend the evaluation on:
- Sunday, April 12
- High School Softball Complex
- 3rd Grade: 11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
- 4th Grade: 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
All players will participate in one unified evaluation. Based on skill level, players may be placed on either a 9U or 10U travel team or a community recreation team. Recreation teams will continue to be organized by Grand Ledge Community Recreation, while travel teams will continue to be organized by Grand Ledge Youth Baseball.
Parents may still request recreation placement even if their child’s evaluation indicates readiness for travel baseball. Our goal is to ensure every family can choose the level of play that best fits their child and overall schedules.
The community recreation league typically runs from late May through July and welcomes players of all experience levels. Travel baseball practices will begin in late April, offering a more competitive environment for players ready for advanced instruction and commitment. The travel baseball season will end in late July.
This new approach also helps create more balanced recreation teams in terms of skill level, providing a better experience for players, coaches, and families across all teams.
By working together, we hope to streamline the process, offer fair placement opportunities, and support positive player development at every level.
