We provide a competitive community-based youth baseball program for Boulder baseball players to help them prepare for the next level.
What We Offer
How Can You Help?
We’re a non-profit, volunteer-based organization, so the program needs your help. Here are ways you can contribute:
What We Offer
- We field teams for 9U, 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U & 14U baseball players in Boulder - regardless of your Little League.
- We’re local and practice in Boulder. We know families are busy and want to maximize field time and minimize travel time.
- We’re affordable. We are a non-profit organization, run by a volunteer board, and we strive to keep costs down.
- We’re a complement to Little League. We’re Little League supporters and offer tournament and full rules baseball to augment your Little League experience, not replace it. We partner with North Boulder Little League and South Boulder Little League to manage schedules and pitch counts.
- Being in Little League or playing for North or South Boulder Little League is not required to be on a Bison team.
- We offer pre-season skills clinics with experienced coaches when possible to help Boulder’s players develop solid fundamentals to prepare for high school baseball.
- Winter indoor practices/workouts, usually two times per week. Winter practices are not mandatory, but highly recommended. Coaches will attempt to work around Winter sport commitments.
- 9U to 12U play four to six weekend tournaments in the spring, typically along the front range. 13U & 14U play 8-12 tournaments and have often have optional Fall conditioning and/or games. Most tournaments are two days - Saturday/Sunday. Saturday is generally pool play/round robin. Results from Saturday determine seeding for Sunday. Sunday is usually single elimination, play until you lose or win the championship.
- Team fees range from $1200 - $2500 per player depending on the team and age group, with the older teams typically having higher fees to account for an increase in tournaments and the addition of ancillary training such as conditioning
- Practices and tournaments are scheduled to not conflict with a player's Little League schedule. Once the Little League schedule starts, practices are scaled back to accommodate Little League play. While Little League play is not required it is strongly encouraged that players play both Bison and Little League as to get the most out of their baseball experience particularly at the younger ages.
- We have a small scholarship/financial-aid program for Bison families. For more information, please contact board President, Allison Forrer at [email protected] - In addition, the City of Boulder has a limited amount of financial support for youth athletics through its Youth Opportunity Program. Eligible candidates will be responsible for a certain number of hours of community service. Please contact the City of Boulder Youth Opportunity Program directly for this assistance.
