SBMSA Summer Baseball Registration
The SBMSA Baseball program consists of a spring season that runs from late February until just prior to the end of the school year; a short summer program; and tournament-level baseball opportunities during the spring.
The program is divided into five age groups. Boys ages five (5) and six (6) play on Rookie teams (Coach Pitch) and boys ages seven (7) and eight (8) play on Midget teams (Coach Pitch). Those who are nine (9) or ten (10) play on Pee Wee teams (Kid Pitch), boys ages eleven (11) or twelve (12) play on Bronco teams (Kid Pitch), and boys ages thirteen though fifteen (13-15) play Pony (Kid Pitch).
The playing fields are graduated in size so that every two years the boys move to slightly larger fields with greater pitching distances. Rookie and Midget games are played on four-field lighted complexes at the SBISD Guthrie Center (10660 Hammerly) and Pine Shadows Elementary School (9810 Neuens). Lighted Pee Wee and Bronco fields are located at Memorial Middle School (870 Attingham), Spring Forest Middle School (14240 Memorial), and Spring Woods Middle School (9810 Nuens) while Pony games are played at the Spring Branch Education Center (2100 Shadowdale Drive).
The teams compete in as many divisions as the number of teams require, and there are playoffs at the end of the Spring season. In the Rookie and Midget league, players are assigned to teams, with team formation typically following elementary school attendance zones, to the extent possible. Teams in the Pee Wee, Bronco and Pony leagues are formed by draft following skills evaluation. Players in the Pee Wee league are divided into leagues for players with greater skills (American League) and leagues for those with developing skills and/or less experience (National League). The Bronco and Pony leagues are divided into Draft and Tournament divisions.
The program draws players from throughout the SBISD geographical area.
