AYL / HAWKS (AAA LEVEL), AGES 8-14
A highly competitive level of play. Generally, these players have played baseball multiple years at a competitive level and have been highly successful.
Placement at this level is according to previous season standings and/or previous season tournament records. Approx. 10-14 game regular season with a season-ending single elimination tournament (AYL World Series). In 2026, ages 9 & 10 games were played on Tuesday night, ages 8 & 13 were played on Wednesday night and ages 11 & 12 on Thursday night.
