THE PHILOSOPHY OF SEBA AGE DIVISIONS

The creation of single age divisions provides SEBA participants an opportunity to play with schoolmates in a league setting that is appropriate for their physical, mental and emotional maturity levels. In comparison to organizations with multi-age divisions, age difference more often than not also equates to a disparity in skill, strength, and emotional maturity between an older player and a younger player. The bigger and stronger players are more often than not the older players. It is logical to assume that playing time in a multi-age divisional organization system will gravitate to the older players vs. a SEBA system where all participants are the same age. The maximization of playing time in the opinion of the Association is a key element in the overall development of participants as well as increasing the likelihood of retaining participants within the system.

EQUIPMENT

Players are responsible for their own Baseball Glove and PLAIN gray baseball pants. Teams are provided with all other necessary equipment to play. Players are allowed to bring their own bats and helmets but is not required.

TEAM FORMATION

All summer SEBA League participants are assigned to teams base on the school they attend, night of the week preference, and/or friend request. This allows children an opportunity to play with their schoolmates. Teams are set by the SEBA Staff.  Some divisions are set on specific nights of the week where other divisions have options. 

SEBA offers a 5 week 2nd Session of SEBA League 

 This is a rec level program for Tball, Coach Pitch, Machine Pitch and Player Pitch for 3rd - 5th/6th graders offers 2 nights a week schedule with 1 week of practice followed by 4 weeks (or approx. 8 games) of baseball. This is a great option for players to try 1 division up of baseball from their first session to prep them for next summer or for players and families that are looking for a shorter season, for 4 yr old Rookie Players to try a session of Tball, whatever your case may be, SEBA is excited to offer 2nd session.
