Players may try out for a division above what they have registered for by the following rules:
 
  • 8 year old players interested in trying out for Minors can do so. Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that they will make a Minor team. 8 year old players not drafted to a Minor team will be placed on a Rookie team.
  • 10 year old players interested in trying out for Majors can do so. Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that they will make a Major team. 10 year old players not drafted to a Major team will be placed on a Minor team.
  • 11-12 year old players interested in trying out for 50/70 can do so. Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that they will make a 50/70 team. 11-12 year old players not drafted to a 50/70 team will be placed on a Major team.
  • 13 year old players interested in trying out for Jr/Sr can do so. Please keep in mind that there is no guarantee that they will make a Jr/Sr team. 13 year old players not drafted to a Jr/Sr team will be placed on a 50/70 team.
 
Try out dates for Minors, Majors, 50/70, and Jr/Sr and will be announced at a later date.
 
All players are encouraged to attend tryouts so that the league can do the best job of balancing the teams!!!
 
All baseball divisions will travel around the valley to play teams from other leagues. Fruita Little League plays the following leagues:
 
  • Monument Little League (Grand Junction)
  • Grand Mesa Little League (Fruitvale area)
  • Orchard Mesa Little League
  • Palisade Little League.
  • Travel to CRV (Rifle) and Delta are also possible for a limited number of games in minors and above.
  • Not all leagues and divisions will have interleague play every season. For example:
  • Fruita may not have Rookie boys play other leagues if we have enough teams to play only at home.
  • Monument often does not interleague many divisions due to having plenty of teams at home.
  • Delta often only has interleague play in 50/70 and above.
  • Other scenarios are possible as well.

**There will be a $3.00 Service Fee per transaction applied to all On-Line and In-Person Registrations. This fee is applied by Sports Connect, the owner of our Website. ***
