The Junior Baseball Organization, Inc. League is available to all players through 16 years of age (contact coordinator for detailed age/grade requirements). Our teams play throughout the greater Washington county area for their league games. League standings are kept for state tournament play-offs, held at the end of the regular season. Practices begin in April and games are played from May through July. Weekend tournaments are scheduled throughout the season with teams attending a minimum of two tournaments. Players are selected for JBO teams after participating in an evaluation process (see 2012 Player Schedule of Events Feb 1 2012). Players are placed on teams based on their skill level as determined by the evaluation. Every effort will be made to place players on a JBO team based on the evaluation results. However, where player safety and/or team numbers are an issue, players may be placed on a Recreational League team. Each player on a JBO team bats in order and must play a minimum of six (6) defensive outs per game.
JBO teams are broken down into three age groups. Grades 3-4 are called Midgets, 5-6 are Juniors and 7-6 are Seniors. At each level the age group is broken down into Federal (top level), American (middle) and National. In the past we have at times fielded Federal teams but the majority of HBBA teams inteh past have been at the Junior and National levels.
