See our age chart on the Registration page.

All regular season games and practices take place on the SSJSB fields in South San Jose at Hayes Elementary and Vista Park city park. Teams also participate in an inter-league game schedule with other leagues (Almaden, East Valley, West Valley, Milpitas, and Santa Clara) on their home fields.

Balanced teams are essential for fair and competitive play. 16U, 14U, 12U and 10U teams are formed by an open draw process that distributes advanced, intermediate and beginning players equally among teams. Note: Players in 8U and 6U divisions can request to be placed on a team with a friend or familiar coach.  Not all requests are guaranteed.

The league provides a jersey and socks. It is strongly recommended that you have cleats. Sliders and knee pads are recommended safety items for 9 to 16 year olds. You will also need a glove; make sure it is comfortable and easy to open/close. New gloves should be purchased a few months prior to the first practice and then follow the break-in directions. The league provides bats, balls, catcher's gear, but it is recommended that every player have their own. Upon request a batting helmet can be issued to your player, but again it is recommended that all players have their own. Any questions about equipment can be directed to the LEAGUE EQUIPMENT MANAGER.

SSJSB has a collection of gently used equipment that we will have available, at no charge, on day of evaluations (includes cleats, gloves, helmets, pants, equipment bags, etc). Feel free to bring equipment in good shape to donate to the collection for others to pick up.

Players in 10U-16U years old normally practice for 2 hours, twice a week. Players in 6U and 8U normally practice for 1 to 1-1/2 hours twice a week before the season starts, then once a week during the regular season.

Yes, SSJSB organizes a summer and fall travel ball program called Quicksilver. All Spring participants are eligible and encouraged to try out for it. See the Quicksilver page for details.

Refunds will be issued up until the teams are formed by contacting the league player agent prior to the date of the team draw. This date will be posted on the web site as soon as it is determined. The team draw triggers the league uniform order, after which no refunds will be given.
