Step 1: Team Age & Starting Classification

NCS offers baseball for ages 5U - 18U in single age divisions.  The age of your team is determined by the age of your oldest player.  The age cut off date is May 1st (or grade exception).  For the fall / winter season, players play up to the age they will be the following spring / summer. 
Now that you know the correct age of your team, it's time to determine your "starting" classification. To determine your team’s "starting" point,click here and review the NCS classification guidelines.  Keep in mind, pursuant to NCS Rules, the State Office will monitor each teams performance and can classify and reclassify any team at any time.
