10/12 Majors Division

Our most competitive division for players 10-12, featuring a 50' pitching distance, 70' basepaths and full baseball rules including stealing, leading, and balks.  MBSA is very excited about offerring this new format which includes a tournament trail from District competion through the World Series in Branson, MO at Ballparks of America featuring 8 International Champions.  

The move to 5070 has been a long time coming and is sure to make this division as exciting as possible.

Note:  This division is by selection only. Players must attend a tryout in order to be considered for selection.  If not selected for this program, players will be placed in the appropriate division for their age.

 

SCHEDULE - BASEBALL 10/12 MAJORS

Games - There will be one (1) to three (3) games per week scheduled.  Please be mindful that weather conditions may cause a game to be rescheduled to another week or weekend day and that field availability determines our abilities to schedule and reschedule games.  A weekday night game is also a possibility under the lights!  

Practices - there will be one (1) per week and this practice will be scheduled between Monday through Friday based on field availability.  

Equipment - Participants in this division will need the following equipment:  batting helmet, bat, glove, protective sports cup, cleats (rubber only) and it is strongly suggested that all players wear a heart guard.  During the Spring season, the MBSA provides all participants with a team hat, jersey, pants and socks.  

Coaching/Managing - Are you interested in managing or coaching a team?  The Manalapan Township Parks and Recreation Department requires all volunteers to possess a Manalapan Township Volunteer ID Card.  To obtain a card or to renew your card, kindly go to the Parks and Recreation website for complete details.  Please note that the MBSA does not have control over this application process.  Additional details can be found here: https://mtnj.org/departments/parks_recreation/coaches_volunteers/

The Manalapan Recreation Department imposes a fee for the use of their fields in the amount of $2.50 per child registered and this is included in your registration fee.  In addition, the Manalapan Township Board of Education imposes a $500 fee per field, per season, on organizations utilizing their ball fields.  This has resulted in an increase in our registration fees.

THE MBSA FUNDRAISING RAFFLE

Participation in the fundraising raffle is voluntary.  Families have the option of selling their tickets if they prefer to opt out of the drawing.  Raffle tickets will be distributed near the opening of Spring Season with the drawing date closer to the end of the season. The purchaser will need to return their completed stubs to the team manager to be in the drawing.
