No player 10 and under will face "cuts" ages 10 and under providing we can accommodate rosters to suit teams to field 11 players during any season. In the event we cannot accommodate enough players to form multiple teams then players are assessed and given roster spots based off 2 factors. Age/Skill Level. A "FULL" 12 consist of 12-14 players depending on skill level and potential schedule.
Any players who we can NOT accommodate at the 10 and under ages due to number of players, teams for that age, or potential safety issues will be offered Devo Spots on the teams for their age to join us for winter workouts out a reduced rate. Devo spot player will receive the same winter workouts schedules, participate in practices and may even earn potential for playing time during the indoor league. Devo spots are not eligible for season roster unless the Head Coach decides to offer roster spot before season starts.
It would go against everything we believe at this age. It is important to provide every young player the environment to develop at their at a pace that the minds and more importantly bodies allow them to do so. We are fully aware that kids develop size, strength, speed, and mindset and it is our belief that is not determined at this age. We are willing and able to work with kids at this age of any skill level and are committed to providing and environment to allow the more advanced players to see competitive baseball while allowing other future HS players still develope. It is those players who need more work on their skills or development that will be offered Devo spots while those more advanced in age/size/and ability will be rostered accordingly on one of our Spring/Summer Tourney Teams.
Starting in 2026 all teams 12u and under will go from our off-season workouts in December 2x a week to our last tournament of the season typically a month after Little League and Cal Ripken All Stars District Season Ends mid to late July. We typically take August off some time off before our fall seasons star.
Starting in Mid-End February All teams 12 and under start Indoor play on a Weekend Day TBD. These Games are typically double header and take place indoors in either Epsom or Hooksett NH. They are machine pitched games so as not to overuse arms and allow rapid play to get in as many Abs as possible. They are one-hour games and usually last 3-4 inning each.
The regular season kicks off in April with doubleheader (DH) games held on Sundays to avoid conflicts with local Little League and Cal Ripken Leagues. Bandit Games are expected to take precedence over all other in-season sports not related to school activities. This scheduling ensures minimal interference with local recreational leagues while maintaining the priority of Bandit commitments.
Our first of a minimum of 3-5 tournament is always scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, followed by the League Playoffs in the subsequent one or two weekends, contingent on the schedule. We are expecting to play in AUU Open Division or PG Div 2 Schedule depending on travel required Next are the Cal Ripken/Little playoffs and All Stars, with any scheduling conflicts addressed as they arise. Following the League Playoffs, there is a brief pause to conclude local district competitions. Once these are completed, players will resume Bandit activities with alternating weekends for tournaments and scrimmages, along with weekly practice sessions focused on player development and team cohesion, culminating in their remaining tournament schedule. When the Season has been completed Bandit Players will compete in a minimal of 30+ games a year not including off season scrimmages. By August, the regular season transitions into the off-season unless players choose to join the fall league PARTICIPATION IN FALL BASEBALL LEAGUE DOES NOT AFFECT A PLAYER'S STATUS ON OUR SPRING/SUMMER TEAMS
As a guideline, the hierarchy of activities typically follows this order: Bandit Games, Rec Games, Bandit Practices, and then Rec Practices. Considerations are, however, made for players whose parents serve as Rec League coaches, recognizing the balance required to honor both commitments. This structure allows players to maximize their involvement without compromising their development or participation across leagues.
Starting in 2026, newly appointed coaches will be prohibited from serving as head coach of any team that includes their child. This regulation is intended to ensure unbiased attention to each child. Experienced fathers may be allowed to serve as assistant coaches at the discretion of the head coach.
Fundraising options, financial assistance, and scholarships are available on a case-by-case basis for each team, considering factors such as financial need, personal circumstances, and academic GPA criteria.
We are committed to providing players with the necessary infrastructure, environment, coaching, and support to achieve success and cultivate an ongoing interest in baseball beyond youth leagues.
Coming in 2026, We will be offering a 12u Cooperstown Experience which will take place in either Cooperstown, NY, or The Cal Ripken Experience in South Carolina. Additional costs will apply, along with mandatory fundraising. Current Bandit players will have first access before remaining spots are opened to the public. We plan to carry a minimum of 16 players on this team for the week-long experience. If interested, email 12uexperience@603bandits.org.
Tuition for the 2026 season (ages 10-9u) is $1700, including:
