Our own home game sites are reserved per requirements of Peninsula School District community use program. Scheduling is usually completed by February for the younger aged teams and March or April for the high school aged teams. Tournament scheduling is completed ASAP! Flexibility in scheduling your game attendance and/or family activity is a necessity when playing select baseball. This is up to the individual family to decide how they want to do this. We give out a schedule ASAP to you. Pre-high school aged teams begin playing at end of March or the beginning of April, weather permitting, while high school aged teams begin play after the high school regular season is completed and usually ends in July or mid-August.
