What age group should my child play?

For Fall 2022 and Spring 2023:

For example: If he is 7 right now, but will turn 8 before May 1st, therefore being 8 on May 1st, he should play 8U baseball. If he will still be 7 on May 1st. He should play 7U baseball.

I attended a CBA tryout and have not heard anything yet? What do I do?

Our CBA coaches typically try to form their teams quickly after the tryout. If you have not heard directly from a coach within two weeks of the tryout, we suggest attending the next tryout or coach look.

My 12-year-old son wants to play Premier?

Unfortunately, right now we only have Premier for 7U-10U. A 12-year-old would have to play in our Select or Recreational League.

Is the Recreational Coach-Look a Tryout?

No, the Recreational coach-look is not a tryout. Everyone is placed on a team. Our recreational coach-look is only for ages 7U and up. All people registered for younger age groups will be placed on a team by CBA.

What is Blastball?

Blastball is the 3-year-old and 4-year-old intro to baseball. It is played with a foam bat, squishy ball and 1st base squeaks when they step on it. It is designed to give them the first introduction to the structure of the game. For example, once they swing and make contact, they run toward 1st base, etc. Parents are allowed on the field with the players.

Questions about Bats?

All bats must be USSSA stamped per the posted CBA rules.

Bat Policy CBA will follow current USSSA bat policy, 7.01.C: All bats for age divisions 14U and younger must be permanently stamped with the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Mark, or BBCOR.50 Certified Mark or made of wood and manufactured by a licensed USSSA manufacturer. All bats for scholastic divisions (Class of) must conform to the National Federation of High School Associations (NFHS) bat standards including a length to weight ratio no greater than negative three (-3) ounces. These bats must be permanently stamped with the BBCOR.50 Certified Mark or made of wood and manufactured by a licensed USSSA manufacturer. Also, as the CBA does not restrict bat diameter, you advantage you son by purchasing a bat that is larger than 2 1/4 in diameter. TRAVEL TEAMS - these rules apply to the CBA recreational league only, bats restrictions will be dictated by the governing body of the venues you compete in. Please feel free to contact any board members with any bat questions you may have.
