Clackamas Junior Baseball is proud to serve our community by creating an environment where young athletes grow both on and off the field. Through the game of baseball, players learn the value of teamwork, accountability, discipline, and respect for others. We emphasize that setbacks are part of growth and that success is earned through effort and perseverance. Our Board, coaches, and families share a common goal: to help players build character, confidence, and lasting friendships that extend well beyond their playing years.

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

At Clackamas Junior Baseball, we are committed to placing players in divisions that align with their age and skill level. This structure ensures balanced competition, meaningful playing time, and the best possible opportunity for growth. Unlike programs that combine broad age or skill ranges on a single team, our approach allows athletes to compete alongside peers of similar ability. Advanced players are challenged appropriately, while developing players gain confidence and experience in a supportive, competitive setting.

FIELD SIZE

We recognize that players develop at different stages, which is why our field dimensions are tailored to each age division. By adjusting field size to match players’ physical development and ability, games remain competitive and engaging. This format promotes better overall play, encourages team strategy, and prevents games from being dominated by a single athlete.

REAL BASEBALL RULES

Our program prepares athletes for the next level by teaching and implementing rules consistent with high school baseball. Players learn to lead off bases, pitchers work from the stretch, and dropped third strikes are live at most levels. These elements accelerate development and deepen players’ understanding of the game. At the same time, younger and developing divisions utilize inning run limits to maintain balance, sportsmanship, and a positive experience for all participants.
