The LVBA
SPRING LEAGUE started in 2004. In its first year there
was an eight team 12u division. Each team played a 14 game schedule and then competed
in a single-elimination tournament. Games were played on Friday evenings and all
day Sunday. The season began in early March and concluded the third week in May.
This league features competitive club/travel teams from the Las Vegas area. Teams
play real baseball i.e. dropped third strike, leadoffs and pitchers holding runners
on. There are some rule modifications which make the game more competitive.
This year the league has grown to
three age divisions: 10u, 11u & 12u. Each age division will again have an eight
team field. The league format will remain the same as last year: 14 game schedule
with a single-elimination tournament at the conclusion of the regular season.
New for this years league:
The LVBA has teamed up with C.A.B.A. – Continental Amateur Baseball Association.
The semi-final and championship teams in each age division will have an opportunity
to participate in the 2009 C.A.B.A. Triple A World Series.
