The JBO Junior Division is made up of different skill level classifications or leagues. CYS plans to support at least 4 JBO teams for 2010, one Federal Team, one American team, and tow National teams.
n Junior National teams are both recreational and competitive, and could be considered the natural progression from CYS “Minors.” Central’s National teams will have an opportunity to play in the State tournament at the end of the season.
n Junior American teams play at an intermediate level of competition. Junior American teams play on a mid-sized field with 80 foot base paths and 55 ft from pitchers mound to home plate. Centrals American team will have an opportunity to play in the end of season State tournament.
n Junior Federal is for players of the highest skill level for this age group and requires increased commitment from the player/family in terms of time and money. CYS is planning on fielding Federal team at this level for the 2010 season.
