The U18 Division at Layritz Baseball offers older players the chance to continue developing their skills while enjoying competitive play in a supportive, team-oriented environment.
We anticipate having one to three teams in this division for the season.

• Season: Early April to late June
  
• Playoffs: Begin mid-June
  
• Games: Approximately 20 games played against other Greater Victoria Baseball Association (GVBA) teams
  
• Base Paths: 90 feet (Major League standard)
  

Coaches will select game slots during the preseason scheduling meeting and share details with families once the roster is finalized.
Depending on registration numbers, assessments may be held prior to team selection.
