FALL 2024 Recreational Baseball Program

The last day for the early bird savings is June 26.

Rec and travel players are welcome to register for the fall season meaning a player could play either or both divisions. But no rec team can have more than 4 travel players on a 12YO & Younger team.

After two preseason games for the 8YO-12YO teams, we will keep score in the last 8 scheduled games. We will keep the score for all 13YO & older games.


The Brentwood Ball Club provides an opportunity for youth players to have a place to play organized baseball in the city of Brentwood. As the service provider of baseball for the City of Brentwood, 75% of our 12YO & Younger players must reside in the city of Brentwood, while 60% of our 13YO & Older players must reside in the city of
Brentwood. 85% of our players must reside in Williamson County across all ages. While players residing outside the city of Brentwood are welcomed, they will have to pay non-resident fees to participate in our fall season.


Age Divisions We Offer
1.  The division to register your player for is based on their age on May 1, 2025.

2.  The minimum player age to be able to register is 4 years of age as of 07/01/25.

3.  Our divisions are as follows: 4/5YOs, 6YOs, 7YOs, 8YOs, 9YOs, 10YOs, 11/12YOs, 13/14YOs and 15/16YOs.

4.  If a parent wants to use a grade exemption during the registration process, they will click the "grade exemption request" box and we will reach out to the parent to process the request.
   -   A kindergarten grade player may still play 6YOs.
   -   A 1st grader may still play 7YOs.
   -   A 2nd grader may still play 8YOs.

   -   A 6th grader may still play 11/12YOs.


Format of the Age Divisions
Please refer to our Baseball Rules Progression link to understand the progression by age division of our rules.
1.  For the 4/5YO age division, we use a tee for batting. As the season progresses, it is possible a coach will attempt to pitch to some batters from a short distance (15' or less), as what occurs for 6YO baseball.

2.  For the 6YO age division, a coach will attempt to pitch to each batter from a short distance (15' or less) and usually from one knee. If the batter is unsuccessful at five pitches, a tee is used. Batters may immediately use a tee if desired.

3.  For both 7YO and 8YO, this is coach pitch play where the pitching distance is 35' away from home plate. A coach pitches to players. Teams play with four outfielders.

4.  For 9YO and 10YO, this is kid pitch play with a mound at 46' feet. 

5.  For 11/12YO, this is kid pitch play with a mound at 50' feet. Runners are allowed to lead off. 

6. For 13/14YO and 15/16YO, this is kid pitch play with a mound at 60' 6" feet. Runners are allowed to lead off.

Refunds

2.  Starting 07/11/24, we will not provide any refunds.


How Teams are Formed
1.  Teams are formed in the fall based on parent requests.

2.  For the 9YO, 10YO and 11/12YO divisions, no one team can have more than 4 players that played travel baseball in the spring for that age division.

3.  Since we create rosters based on parent requests and some coaches will have more requests than roster spots, you should reach out to a coach if specifically requesting that coach to determine if that coach will have room for your player on their roster. We leave it to the coach to decide when they have more requests than roster spots.

4.  As well, if more than 4 players are wanting to be kept as a group onto one team, we would urge one of the parents to register as a head coach.


Coach Requirements
1.  To be recognized as a coach, you must create a volunteer record every season.

2.  As well, you must submit to a background check every 3 years - click
