CONNIE MACK PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Divisions

C (Ages 13, up to four 14 year olds)

This entry point to Connie Mack and 90' baseball provides 13 year olds (and up to FOUR 14 year olds) a smoother nad more manageable transition from youth league play.  In this respect, at 13 many kids who like playing baseball simply stop, because the MLB size field is overwhelming for various reasons - typically a combination of a lack of physical maturity and skill development.  At the C level, players will be provided the opportunity to transition to the big field while playing against appropriate competition. Players at this level meet a profile that indicates that they are not projecting as high school players and/or they are but not at the Freshmen skill level yet. Some kids from this level will mature and jump to B-1 and beyond in ensuring seasons, while others will desire to keep playing baseball at a more suitable level such as B in the future. This level will also play a 12-14 game schedule with post season playoffs to follow.

C1 (Ages 13, up to four 14 year olds)

This entry point to Connie Mack Baseball is a highly competitive league for 13 -14 years old players. Since 13 year olds will be playing on the MLB size field for the first time, it essential to recognize that this level has been designed for the more advanced players of this age. This differentiation should be noted in both skill and physical maturity. More specifically, some players might have some requisite skills, but they simply have not matured physically yet. In these instances, playing at the C level would be a better option. Similarly, please know that C-1 allows for up to FOUR 14 year olds per roster. This gives opportunities for those kids who again might have required skills, but are not physically strong enough to play B or B-1 yet. Most players at the C-1 level will clearly project as ready or on pace to play Freshmen high school baseball. This level of play will incorporate 12-14 games with season-ending playoff campaign.

B (Ages 14-15, some 16 year olds)

This level of play offers opportunities for development for those kids who are not quite ready for B-1 caliber of play. At the same time, it is a great option for 14-15 (some 16’s) year olds who want to keep playing baseball and don’t have or want the option to play at their respective high school. This level of play routinely keeps kids not just active in baseball, but it also acts as a vaulting point for some to pursue B-1 and A levels in the future. The B season will be comprised of a 14-16 game schedule followed by league playoffs concluding in mid July.

B1 (Ages 14-15, some 13 year olds)

This level of play is also highly competitive. Traditionally, this league is comprised of 14-15 year old players (as with our A league, skill level is the differentiating factor…therefore, some 13’s will play). The competition at this level is consistently representative of a combination of quality Freshmen and JV baseball. Most players at the B-1 level are on their way to competing at the A level, but need another year of game experience and physical maturity. B-1 teams typically play a 16-18 game schedule culminating with postseason league playoffs.

A (Ages 15-16, some 13-14 year olds)

This is our highest level of competitive baseball and our premier league. In this respect, we value the quality of the play at this level to the extent that we limit 1 opening to each of our chartered teams per season. This is the level of play that skilled players in each of organizations should be excited about reaching over their Connie Mack experience. This league, for the most part will be made up of 15-16 year old players (although younger players with advanced skills are absolutely eligible) who are either playing Varsity or JV baseball already or have demonstrated some requisite ability. In short, this flight should be represented by the top players in a given program. This league is a true summer league (designed to not conflict with high school seasons) running from late May to late July or early August. Teams should be prepared to play an 18-20 game season, followed by post season league and state playoff tournaments.

Senior Sullivan Division (Ages 17-21)

This offering gives players an opportunity to continue playing competitive baseball after High School.  This league is a true Summer league as many players will be away in the Spring for college.  Teams typically play a 16-18 game schedule culminating with postseason league playoffs.

Senior Hostelly Division (Ages 19-44)

This offering gives players an opportunity to continue playing competitive baseball into your prime and beyond!  This league is a true Summer league.  Teams typically play a 16-18 game schedule culminating with postseason league playoffs.
