Minuteman Baseball League
The Minuteman Baseball League is a Spring and Summer League for players of ages 13-16 in the towns of Acton-Boxborough, Ayer, Bolton, Concord, Carlisle, Chelmsford, Dunstable, Groton, Hudson, Littleton, Maynard, Marlborough, Northborough, Shirley, Stow, Sudbury, Lincoln, Wayland, Wellsley, Westborough, Weston and Westford.
2023 marks the 27th season of the Minuteman Baseball League, a recreational baseball league for players of ages 13 through 16. The league began in 1996 with teams from Maynard, Sudbury, and Wayland, and then expanded to include Westford in 1998, Concord-Carlisle in 1999, Weston in 2001, Acton-Boxborough in 2005, Littleton in 2006,Wellesley in 2007, Bolton in 2008, Ayr/Shirley, Hudson and Groton/Dunstable in 2010, Chelmsford in 2014 and Marlborough in 2015.
As a result of our continued expansion, the Minuteman Baseball League includes more than 30 teams, providing an exciting baseball program for over 400 young ballplayers in our area. That's a huge increase over time, as we have progressed from 12 teams with 160 players in our first year (1996) to 30+ teams and 400 players in 2014. Clearly we are meeting our primary objective of keeping young teens enthusiastic about baseball as they master the transition from the smaller Little League diamond to the Major League-sized diamond. The variety and excitement of competing against teams from other towns has been an important ingredient in our success, but an additional byproduct has been the development of exciting in-town rivalries, as players and parents anticipate the opportunity to compete against friends and neighbors.
The spring season of 2023 will be comprised of the Minuteman League which is for 13 to 16-year old players as defined in our rules.
During 2023, the Minuteman League will play 2 rounds of regular season play on weekends. An attempt will be made to schedule games against teams of comparable ability throughout the regular season. All teams are eligible to participate in a round of post-season playoffs.
This summer we expect to sponsor the 19th season of the Minuteman Baseball Summer League. This summer program provides a summer recreational baseball opportunity for the 13 to 16 year-old players who are not selected for their towns’ competitive travel teams. Games usually begin the 3rd week of June, with each team playing twice per week on weeknights and end the first or second week of August with a single elimination tournament of all teams. Our spring league rules apply, with a few modifications.
We hope you'll enjoy your participation in the Minuteman League. If you have any comments or suggestions, please share them with your town's director so that we can continue to improve. Also, please take the time to thank the many volunteers whose efforts have made this program possible.
Now, let's play ball and have some fun!!
