NMBA 11U Division
2025 Season Player Birth Years: 2014-2015
In the 11U Division we will focus on the basics rules of the game of baseball in a FUN learning atmosphere.
NEW FOR 2025
The 2025 Spring Ball Season will see the introduction of a tiered 11U Division. This decision is designed to create development at all levels for our young athletes. There will be no 11U Prospects teams in 2025 as per BC Minor Baseball regulations.
11U Spring Tier 1 will be for players with more advanced skills, with a focus on enhanced development and competitive game play. There will be four 11U Tier 1 teams who will play games against each other. Per BCMBA rules, no out-of-association Spring game play is permitted for tiered 11U teams.
11U Spring Tier 2 will be focused on learning the rules and fundamentals and will include a mix of group and team practices, and game play. Those players not selected to Tier 1 will be placed on a Tier 2 team.
