A. NORD is the upper level of competition and primary traveling team. Each age group has only one NORD team. NORD begins at 9 yrs old and goes up to 16. NORD teams require a tryout. Children who don't make the NORD team can still play on a Novice team.
Novice is more recreational and emphasizes fundamental training.
The novice leagues form all-star teams that travel but not as much as NORD teams. There are several novice teams in all age groups from 4 yrs old to 13. We supply the uniform in most cases. In Boys Novice Baseball, we do not supply the baseball pants or socks. A. Parents are required to work the shack one night per child registered, and one shift per child for the Memorial Day Weekend Fair.
