Middle School Competitive Baseball League: Bridge the Gap to High School Level Play
The Middle School Competitive Baseball League is a new age division designed to extend the SIYBS competitive pathway and provide the next step beyond our current competitive league. Created for middle school athletes who want to keep progressing in a structured, high-level environment, this league allows players to continue developing their skills, baseball IQ, and competitive mindset as they prepare for high school–level play.
This division offers a faster pace of play, increased competition, and a clear progression within SIYBS—giving families and athletes a seamless opportunity to stay competitive, stay connected, and keep building toward the next level.
