From Sharks to Baseball U LI: The 10U to 11U Transition
Ages 6–10 SBA focus on building fundamentals and confidence year‑round. At age 11, players progress to Baseball U LI—our middle & high school program with elevated training and commitment.
Player Progression at 10U → 11U
-
SBA ends at 10U: Players complete their last SBA season in the fall of their 10U year.
-
Fall Transition: During that fall, those players begin playing at the 11U level (games and training) while still officially finishing their SBA cycle.
-
Spring Move-Up: The following spring, those players fully transition into Baseball U LI. At this point, they’re part of the middle school/high school development pathway with more training, games, and commitment expected.
Opportunities
