Tiered Baseball Pathways
13U Peewee is a tiered division where players may choose to pursue either competitive or recreational baseball pathways.
Players interested in competitive baseball may attend evaluations for the AAA and AA Rangers high performance programs, while players seeking a more balanced recreational experience may participate in the A division.
AAA & AA (Rangers High Performance)
The AAA and AA Rangers programs are designed for players seeking a more competitive baseball experience with increased focus on player development, strategy, positional training, and higher levels of competition.
At this level, athletes often begin specializing more heavily in key positions while continuing to refine their overall baseball skills.
These teams require a greater commitment to practices, games, and tournaments throughout the Spring season.

A Division (Recreational Baseball)
The A division provides a recreational but competitive baseball experience focused on participation, development, teamwork, and enjoyment of the game.
This pathway is ideal for players who enjoy baseball alongside other sports and activities, or who prefer a more balanced schedule while continuing to develop their skills.
Players at this level continue receiving opportunities to explore multiple positions and grow their understanding of the game in a supportive environment.
Families unsure which pathway is best suited for their player are encouraged to contact the Division Coordinator.
13U AA / AAA
The 13U AA & AAA Rangers teams operate as a single-season program, with the roster typically selected in February or March and continuing through the Summer season until August.
Additional fees apply for players participating in the Rangers High Performance program.
Summer Baseball
Following the Spring season, 13U A players may have the opportunity to participate in competitive Summer Baseball programs.
Tryouts are typically held in mid-to-late May, with teams competing from late June through mid-August.
CMBA will form 1 or 2 13u A summerball teams based on try-out evaluations and coach availability.
Summer Ball requires an additional fee and a significant time commitment from both players and families due to travel, practices, and tournaments.
Fall Ball
CMBA also offers Fall Ball programs for many divisions following the conclusion of the Spring and Summer seasons.
Fall Ball is designed to provide players with additional development opportunities in a fun, lower-pressure environment while helping athletes prepare for the division they will be entering the following Spring season.
The Fall season is especially beneficial for players moving up to a new division, as it allows them to:
- Become familiar with new rules and gameplay changes
- Gain extra reps and field time
- Continue developing baseball fundamentals
- Build confidence before the next Spring season
- Participate in practices, scrimmages, and exhibition games
Fall Ball schedules, formats, and travel may vary depending on division registration numbers and field availability.
Additional registration fees apply for Fall Ball participation.
