Melrose Little League is proud to announce the expansion of its baseball program with new Junior and Senior Divisions for players aged 13-16. Open to players of all baseball experience and backgrounds, this league will allow kids to compete with their peers and develop their game at the next level. You do not need to have previously played Melrose Little League to participate in Junior and Senior Leagues.
Both divisions will allow for fun, competitive play on the big baseball diamonds with a spring season and a summer All-Star tournament. All games will be played at Morelli and Pine Banks field, with potential for inter-league games against local district opponents.
