Some players move up based on team needs. Several considerations are factored in:
Skills Assessment: Players are evaluated early in the season to ensure appropriate skill placement, prioritizing both individual readiness and balanced teams.
Parent/Player Requests: We take requests into consideration, but placement decisions are based on multiple factors and cannot be guaranteed

Why Some Players Are Moved Up
Overview: Some 8-year-olds move to Minors and some 10-year-olds to Majors each year, depending on division needs.
Skills Assessment: Evaluations take place each year to help place players in the most appropriate division. Players who score higher may be considered for placement in an upper division.
Parent Requests: Considered but not guaranteed. Final placement is based on the league's discretion.
Note:Please remember that this is a youth league centered on growth and fun. Division placement is not a measure of a player’s value or future success. We appreciate respectful and supportive behavior toward players and volunteers.
Practice and Game Schedule
12u: Practices held on Mondays and Wednesdays during Spring and Summer programs
8u and 10u: Practices held on Tuesdays and Thursdays during Spring and Summer programs
We aim to begin the season in early April, weather permitting. Initially, all players will participate in **clinic-style practices** before official teams are formed. These age-group sessions—combining all 12u players on their designated nights, and all 8u and 10u players on theirs—focus on foundational skill development, teamwork, and assessing readiness for team placement.
These early practices are a great way for players to shake off the rust, build confidence, and get to know other players in their age group. We will keep families updated via email, our website, and social media as specific dates and weather decisions are made. Please note that locations vary, and usually take place at either the Dryden Elementary School, behind the playground area, or at the fields behind Dryden High School.
Game schedules can be found on the team pages within the "Team Directory" tab. While most games are Mon/Wed for 12u and Tue/Thur for 8u and 10u, there may be games scheduled for Friday & Saturday.
