13U PEEWEE GENERAL INFORMATION
Spring Season (April-June):
13u is the first year of full baseball rules. In Peewee there are three potential levels of tiered play; "A", "AA", "AAA".
"A" ball is often referred to as house ball, any players that do not play rep are evaluated and drafted onto teams. This level is welcoming for players of all skill levels and experience.
"AAA" if fielded, is a single season RiverDogs rep team that runs from April through the summer. "AAA" plays against other teams in the province, will attend a zones tournament to compete for a spot at provincials. BC Minor Baseball schedules teams at this level. Players must tryout and be selected to play on this competitive team.
"AA" is also a competitive team with players being selected from a tryout but this team runs from April - June. This team will play in an interlock against other teams in the Interior/Okanagan.
Summer Season (June - August):
Summer baseball is a competitive season. In May, players who participated in Spring baseball are given the opportunity to try out for one of KMBA's Summer Select teams. KMBA is dedicated to fielding as many summer teams as possible. These teams play in tournaments against other associations from around the province culminating with the provincial championship. There are two levels of summer teams for 13u, "A" and "AA".
Fall Baseball (September - October):
Fall baseball is comprised of players who will be entering the division in the following year as well as players who will be moving into their second year. Players practice and scrimmage with each other. Fall ball is mostly practices/scrimmages subject to interest, there is often the opportunity to play teams from other associations. Game play is considered 'value added' and being chosen for a Fall roster is not guaranteed.
Winter Baseball (January-March):
Winterball is run in our first class indoor training facility: Sussex Insurance Centre on McArthur Island. Winterball is designed to offer the players instruction on many of the fundamentals that can get lost in the busy spring season. There will be two groups of 13U winter training. One for kids looking to improve their skills and another for more advanced players who wish to try out for a Spring season select team. Space is limited.
