Welcome to West Jeff Baseball

• Tryouts for our 8-14 YO Competitive teams take place once per year in mid-September. (Tryouts for the 2022 spring season will be held Sunday Sept. 19, 2021 at Evergreen High School. Watch this space for more details as we get closer to the date. Reach out to [email protected] with questions.)
  
  

• This skill evaluation tests players in a number of areas: hitting, fielding ground balls, base running, catching fly balls, long toss, and pitching. Attendance at these tryouts is required for all players seeking to find a spot on a competitive West Jeff Baseball team. 
• Coaches typically start drafting teams in mid-October...these teams will play the following Spring. Practices can begin anywhere from January to March, depending on the coach. The 14-game season starts the end of March and go through the end of June. As a courtesy to your teammates, their families, and the opposing teams, it is important that WJBB players/families follow through with their baseball commitment each year and complete the scheduled season they sign up for. When there are not enough players, teams have to forfeit games.
• Registration for Competitive league generally opens in August. The 2021 fee for competitive baseball is $275. This fee includes game and practice fields, umpires, team equipment, and insurance. Uniforms, tournaments, and indoor practices (scheduled as needed by coaches) are not included.
• League games are typically played on week nights; half in the Evergreen area, half at fields in the Denver metro area. This leaves weekends open for those teams that wish to participate in tournament play.
• Players can become part of the Competitive league starting at age 8. They must be 8 by April 30 to play with the 8-yr-old division. However, RMJBL rules allow players to join teams that reflect their "grade" age, even if they've not met the age cutoff. The 8U division corresponds with 2nd grade; 9U, third grade; etc.
• If you move to the area and missed tryouts, please contact Karrie Osborn at [email protected] to see if she can work with you to find a team for your player.
