Leagues

Currently we have 2 leagues to choose from:

• House League
  

  Our house league offers a fun, exciting, and equal opportunity for each child to play organized baseball. Skill levels vary and travel is localized.

• Competitive League
  

  Our competitive teams are as you might think, a very competitive, intense league that offers those that excel a chance to further challenge themselves as they represent North London in a competitive environment. There is some travel for weekend tournaments and teams participate against other associations in the London & District Baseball Association (LDBA).
