This league is organized for players who have completed Horizon League Baseball.  

 

Player Qualifications:

• Players need to be in 4th, 5th, or 6th grade

    (based on grade as of registration date).

• Must have completed Horizon League Baseball

    or equivalent program.

• Players who have not participated in an

    equivalent league in the past must participate in

    a skills evaluation. The evaluation focuses on

    throwing, catching, batting and defensive skills.

    Based on the skills evaluation, it may be

    recommended that the player spends an additional

    year in the Horizon League in order to further

    develop their skills. The results of the evaluation

    are one of the factors used by the league

    coordinator and the coaches to assign players to

    specific teams. In limited cases, some players may be asked if they want to join the Cadet League.

​

Evaluations:

• TBD
