NLCBS is comprised of several divisions; each a building block for the next. Players are placed mostly by grade level/ equivalent schooling level. We do allow parents to self-select what division they feel is most appropriate. Players are allowed to “play up” a level based on skill level and experience. Players are not allowed to play in a younger division. Please visit each division’s specific page for details; suggested skill level, dates and meeting times.

Step 1 & Step 2 (Tee Ball) is primarily for 4 and 5 years old.
Teams will meet weekly on Tuesdays for 5 weeks; practicing for the first 30 minutes and playing modified games for the last 30 minutes. Sessions will meet at 5:30pm or 6:45pm, final schedules will be announced in March.
