Clarifications regarding the League Age Considerations

League Age 13 & 14 (DOB on or before 4/30/2013): Parents/guardians must register the player for GJBA (the player is too old for GLL). Registered players that aren’t selected for a GJBA 13U/14U team will be given a full refund and references for neighboring youth baseball opportunities.

League Age 12 or 12T (DOB on or after 5/1/2013): Parents/guardians may register the player for either GJBA or GLL. Registered players that aren’t selected for a GJBA 13U/14U team will be automatically placed into the GLL Draft and subsequently chosen by a GLL Majors team. Reference refund policies. Parents/guardians are advised that the GLL/GJBA Board explicitly encourages players of League Age 12 to participate with GLL and not PLAY-UP at the GJBA 13U/14U levels, unless the player has successfully participated previously in a youth baseball program with a competition environment at or above district-level LL Postseason Tournament play (i.e. All Stars).
