Grassland Baseball plays each spring (March through early June) and fall (mid-August through late-October) and primarily plays its games at Grassland Park in Franklin/Brentwood. Each team will receive two practices a week until games begin and then practices are at the coaches discretion. Each team will play 11-15 games per Spring season and 8-10 games per Fall season.

League Formats
4U CO-ED (3 and 4 years old) Players cannot turn 5 prior to May 1, 2026
Our new 4u co-ed division is for players ages 3 and 4, and it's a very developmental league where children are first introduced to baseball/softball. This is a tee ball only league. While this is not an official bring-your-own-team league, efforts are made to honor as many parent requests as possible. All players play in the field and bat each inning.
6U (5 and 6 years old) Players cannot turn 7 prior to May 1, 2026
Our 6u division is for players ages 5 and 6, and it's a developmental league where many kids are first introduced to baseball. This is a coach pitch league with tees being used for players that need one. While this is not a bring-your-own-team league, efforts are made to honor as many parent requests as possible. All players play in the field each inning.
8U (7 and 8 years old) - Players cannot turn 9 prior to May 1, 2026
This is a coach pitch league with players beginning to understand "why" they are making the plays they make. Grassland offers a bring-your-own-team division as well as a draft division. Only ten (10) players play in the field each inning but players may not sit out consecutive innings or more than once a game until all players have sat at least once in the game.
10U (9 and 10 years old) - Players cannot turn 11 prior to May 1, 2026
This is a kid pitch league with players further developing their skills while playing a game that is much closer to "real" baseball. Grassland offers a bring-your-own-team division as well as a draft division. Only nine (9) players play in the field each inning but players may not sit out consecutive innings.
12U - (11 and 12 years old) - Players cannot turn 13 prior to May 1, 2026
This is a kid pitch league. While most coaches bring their own teams, we will try and place all Free Agents
14U (13 and 14 years old) - Players cannot turn 15 prior to May 1, 2026
This is a kid pitch league. In addition, the 14u division is mainly a "Bring Your Own Team" division and Free Agents will be placed on a team if possible.
If you are a coach looking to bring an entire or partial team to play against other area teams, then please contact Justin Dorris at [email protected]
