General Description

Canby Junior Baseball is governed by a board of elected members. Each board member serves a two-year term, and is responsible for sign-ups and team formation, helping to organize fund-raisers, fieldwork, coordinating with county and state boards, tournaments and capital improvements.

Canby Kids could not exist without the help of its volunteers in these areas: Coaching, Field Workdays, Fundraising, Concessions at games and Fair, Tryouts, Umpiring, Advertising and Public Relations.

The number of participating youth is increasing every year. You can well understand how vital the help of our volunteers is to the continued success of our organization. We will continue to improve and thrive only if players, parents, coaches, volunteers and board members work together and look to the future as a group that is concerned not only with Canby Kids, but with our community as a whole.

Team Setup

Canby Junior Baseball offers playing opportunities to boys and girls ages 6-14.  The divisions are broken down as follows:

Ages as of August 1, 2008

T-Ball and Town League play is all done in Canby.

• T-Ball League:   Players do not try out, these teams are divided as evenly as possible by a small group of coaches.
• Machine Pitch:  Players do not try out, these teams are divided as evenly as possible by a small group of coaches.
• Midget/Town League:   teams are formed from the 8-9-10 yr. old group, and these teams travel to nearby towns for league games in addition to games held in Canby. 

Junior and Senior ball players are divided into three skill levels.

• National teams are comprised of beginning level players
• American team members are at an intermediate level
• Federal teams are formed from the more experienced players

Tryouts are held in the month following sign ups. At tryouts, players are divided into groups and run through a variety of drills to show their abilities in the areas of hitting, running, and catching. This gives the coaches an opportunity to assess each player’s skill level. Teams are then formed by the coaches attending the tryouts.
