DISTRICT BASEBALL DEVELOPMENT 2018 - 2019

Pro-Forma B-Freshman Baseball Season for Summer 2018

(posted June 17, 2018)

A minimum of four and a maximum of eight Freshman age teams of 15-16 year-old players could play a four-round schedule of games and play-offs in July, August and September of 2018 using the two existing Brooklyn District Baseball Leagues. For organizational reasons eight of the eighteen Brooklyn Community Districts have been selected as the homes for these B-Freshman district teams this summer.

This pro forma short season schedule for B-Freshman age teams is part of the plan to organize and field between 12 and 18 district team in full season "open" or BBB (triple-B) leagues next year. In all of this district baseball, the players are not responsible for paying umpires or fixing fields. The related commitment to B-Freshment players and teams is that district schedules for B-Freshman will be organized so that all players and teams will have the opportunity to continue to play next year and beyond. It was this commitment to continued play that led to the development of the BBB-Leagues in 1998 through 2003.

Teams do not need to start all at the same time. There is ample schedule time avaiable for make-up games. This schedule also works for six teams and for four teams.
