Majors Division
    2024 Season
  Eligible Birth Dates 1/1/2011-12/31/2012

The Majors Division in Ossining JCYS Little League is the next step after Intermediate Division. It is mainly
made of up 5th, 6th and 7th graders. It is still part of the recreational baseball program, which is designed
for new players, players still developing, or for players looking for a fun, less competitive environment. It
is also available to kids who play in our travel programs. The idea of this league is to teach fundamental
skills to older kids who may be new to the game and continue to develop the skills of kids who have
been in the program. Although it is a recreational league, this division is the most competitive and will
have playoffs and a league championship.

This division is usually made up of 5-6 teams based on how many players register. Typically, registration
is capped at around 60-65 to make 5 teams of 12-13 players. If demand exceeds this, it can be
expanded. We also play other local towns’ rec teams as well in this league, like Croton on Hudson and
Briarcliff Manor. This is also the last division that uses a 46/60 field (46ft from pitcher to home plate and
60ft from bases to base) After this, kids will move onto Senior Division or Modified which are 50/70 then
60/90.

Assessments will determine skill levels of players and help put together the most evenly matched teams.
Teams will have field time once a week for practice at Ryder Park or Nelson Park. Games will typically be
once or twice a week. Games in this division are 6 innings or 2 hours/darkness whichever comes first.
Although this is a recreational league, sportsmanship standards that we teach among all aspects of JCYS
must still be followed. Players are expected to be respectful to ALL coaches and teammates. Players are
expected to arrive on time and prepared for ALL games and practices. Uniforms, hats, and socks are
provided. Players are expected to have a helmet, glove, and baseball cleats.
