Bay Area League (7th-12th)

For players entering 8th-12th grade, De Pere Youth Baseball teams compete against other area community teams in the Bay Area League.

The Bay Area League is comprised of two age/grade levels for Fall Ball:

• Junior Varsity (8th & 9th graders)
• Varsity (10th, 11th & 12th graders)

Construction of the rosters depends on the overall number of players registered. If numbers are roughly equal to create separate "De Pere" and "West De Pere" teams, we will do that (non-resident players would be allocated to either roster based on need). Otherwise, teams will be split up evenly based on skill level. Head coaches for each team are selected by the De Pere Youth Baseball Board.

We do not have any residency restrictions. Not all surrounding communities have enough players interested to form their own teams for the Bay Area League, so we welcome those players to participate on De Pere teams. There is just an additional $10 non-resident fee during registration.

At the league meeting (late April for Summer; late July/early August for Fall), the coaches from the area communities participating in the league will meet and set their own schedules. Practices & games could be on any day of the week, but likely that games will be primarily on weeknights. Half the games will be at De Pere/West De Pere fields, while the other half will be located at the home sites of the other area teams. The frequency/location of practices will be at the discretion of the head coach and field availability.

Teams will be provided a dri-fit uniform shirt and a hat. Players are responsible for other equipment needed (baseball pants, belt, cleats, etc).
