[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, there should be rec baseball options. Not all Little Leagues have Juniors/Seniors level of play or even Intermediate, but I believe you can get a waiver to play in the leagues that do field those divisions if your home league doesn’t offer them.

For Little League-affiliated baseball, if your son has a Jan-Aug 2010 birthday, he will be league age 14, which means he won’t be able play Intermediate level, which is for kids with a league age 13 birthday.  If your son has a Sept-Dec 2010 birthday, he’d still be IM-eligible.  They play on a field that’s 50ft mound distance and 70ft base distance.

Anyone league age 14 and older plays on the standard sized field, the same as the MLBers at least in terms of the infield.

Babe Ruth baseball may also be an option. Our local BR league has player evaluations, but no one is cut. It’s more how to assess a kid and then they might do a draft, but again, there’s a spot for everyone.

Good luck to your son![/quote]
