MIDDLE SCHOOL BASEBALL
Spring 2024
Mission
The Middle School Baseball League's mission (referred to as the "MSBL") is a highly competitive middle school program designed specifically to enhance the skills of the most serious-minded baseball players. This is our 3rd season for teams with players from the same School Clusters and surrounding areas, thus creating a program of feeder systems for the High Schools. A primary emphasis is to provide the opportunity for the youth to have fun and enjoy baseball in an atmosphere where good sportsmanship, ethics, and competitiveness, mental toughness improves.
