Plainfield Optimist Baseball League

Our primary goals for this program are to teach:

  • sportsmanship
  • physical fitness
  • competition
  • teamwork
  • good citizenship
All players must be between the ages of 5 and 12 years old to participate in the league.  A child’s age is determined by the USSSA guidelines as shown here https://www.usssa.com/baseball/ageCalculator.
 
To be eligible to participate in the Plainfield Optimist Baseball, youth must reside in (or attend school in) the Plainfield city limits or Guilford Township. 
 

Registration begins in January and runs through late February; teams are formed and practices begin in March; league play begins in April and concludes with league tournaments the last week of May.

Showcase travel teams also play a few tournaments during the regular season.

Red Pride travel teams season is August through July.  These teams will hold tryouts in the summer.    

The Baseball program is governed by a Baseball Board and all aspects of each season’s program are approved by the Optimist Club’s Board of Directors.
