Baseball

Ages 3-4 Toddler T-Ball

Season May 1st - July 1st
The intent of the program is to introduce the kids to the fundamentals of the game and have fun.
This is a recreational program that will have the Columbia Toddler T-ball teams play each other at Columbia Township Park.
Games and practices are limited to 1hr or less to maintain their attention.
Schedule typically consists of one game and one practice per week.

Ages 5-18
Our baseball teams play as part of the Lorain County Hot Stove League. Home games are played at Columbia Park. Teams travel to other locations in Lorain, Medina and Cuyahoga Counties. Typically, the furthest a team will travel for a game is approximately 45 minutes.

5 & 6 year old boys play in the Lorain County Hot Stove League Farm Minor class. In this league, the players hit off a tee for the first three innings of each game. In the second half of the game the coaches pitch to the players.

7 & 8 year old boys play in the Lorain County Hot Stove League Farm Major class, or I class. In this league, coaches pitch the first half of the game and players pitch the second half of the game.

Boys ages 9-18 play regular Baseball. The rules vary slightly for the various age groups.

For all leagues, games typically begin in late April or early May and run through early July. A tournament in July concludes the season. Younger players have 1-2 games per week, older teams play 2-3 times per week. Games are scheduled on weekday and Saturday nights. All practices are schedule at the Manager's discretion and are subject to field availability.
