What is Beaverton Junior Baseball Organization About?

Beaverton JBO provides an opportunity for middle school-aged players headed to Beaverton High School to play, develop and compete alongside their peers under the guidance of High School-level coaching and facility access.

This program serves as a bridge between little league and High School baseball and the focus is on development at all levels of play as well as cultivating a love of baseball and the mindset to succeed. The teams will share BHS facilities, coaches and there are opportunities for crossover with current BHS players. Shared verbiage on the field with high school coaches.

Beaverton JBO is part of member of the Westside Youth Baseball JBO District. League games will be played against other members of the District and standings will be kept to determine eligibility for participating in the 2020 District and State Championship Tournaments.
