The 8 -14 Year Old Kid Pitch Program is the largest part of the LJBA organization. We are members of the RMJBL baseball league which is divided primarily into 2 levels at each age/division (AAA and AA). "AAA" teams contain players of the highest skill level, while "AA" League is designed for the new or inexperienced player. By placing teams into separate divisions, players will be competing against teams and other players of the same skill level.
8-13 year-old teams will play a 14-game league schedule in spring, plus a double-elimination end of season tournament for qualifying teams. 14 year-old teams play 12 games. There are no set game days or game times - game schedules vary based on team and field availability of the host associations. However, players should expect a 4-5 day commitment per week. Coaches may choose to play in additional tournaments to enhance learning and improvement, with the cost in addition to league fees.
For 8-13 year-olds, the season typically starts the first week in April and runs through the end of June. For 14 year-old teams, the season starts in early March and ends in late May, in time for players to try out for their high school summer teams.
LJBA participates in the Rocky Mountain Junior Baseball League (rmjbl.org), competing with teams from throughout Jefferson County plus Broomfield, Louisville, Brighton and Thornton.
For fall baseball, our 8 - 14 year olds play as part of the Jeffco Sports Cooperative. The team levels offered by Jeffco are: 9-10U, 11-12U, 13U, 14U. Practices and games begin in August, ending in mid-October. Games are played on Sundays with scheduled weekly double-headers.
