Junior League State Championships Charter Trials

Baseball Victoria
07 November 2014

Baseball Victoria is pleased to announce the trials for the charters that will participate in the Junior League State Championships.

This year we will be the inaugural Junior League Championships, with the winner going through to participate at the Junior League National Championships in April 2015. 

The Junior League program has replaced the U14 National Championships, with charters now participating in a State Championship with the winner going through to participate at National Championship as they have for the last seven (7) years within the Little League Age group.

The Junior League Championships has become an important program within the development pathway both within Victoria and within the Australia junior’s landscape. 

This program is for players aged 12 to 14 prior to 1 May 2015 and is based on “Charters” within metropolitan Melbourne. Each club in Metropolitan Melbourne is assigned to a Charter. Players are then eligible for a League Charter team based on the club/s in which they are registered.

For the Junior League Program, each Charter selects an “All-Star” team from all eligible players from the clubs within that Charter to participate in the State Little League Championships. Each Charter All-Star team selects 14 players.

From there, the winning Charter/s then progress to the National Junior League Championships to play against Charters from across Australia. Victoria will have two teams that will progress to the National Championships.
