We operate our baseball program under the umbrella of Junior Baseball of Oregon
(JBO). JBO rules are the baseball rules used by Oregon High Schools and/or as
defined by the "National Federation of State High School Associations." JBO
does have minor modifications based on age and skill level. The modifications
are in place to insure the safety, complete participation and development of
every player in learning the game of baseball.
When comparing our "baseball" program to other leagues, we are playing the game
as it was intended to be played. We do not pretend to play the game by using
softball rules. We are one of the many grass roots youth baseball organizations
across the county teaching our children to play real baseball. Having fun
playing and learning baseball is what we are all about.
All teams, of every age and skill group, stay together throughout the entire
season. We believe in the positive aspects of each team competing as a team and
earning the right to be in the Northwest Championship. We do not subscribe to
the model other leagues use in focusing their entire efforts on one selected all
star team. Our league efforts and funds go towards the success of every player
and every team. Our player and team positive JBO program provides a way for every
skilled player to be a champion.
