ECB would like to announce we will be opening up registration to 13 year olds (born after 9/1/2004) in order to create additional teams for our upcoming spring season.  This program, supported by Little League, is called the Intermediate Division.  This division is similar to what we have played in the past with the exception of allowing 13 year olds.  We will play 50/70 measurements (50 feet pitching distance from pitching mound to home plate and 70 feet between base paths).

The division, which was a new division of Little League Baseball in 2013, includes postseason tournament opportunities, including a World Series.

This division offers a transition for players between the standard Little League field size (46-foot pitching distance and 60-foot base paths) and the Junior/Senior/Big League field size (60-foot, 6-inch pitching distance and 90-foot base paths).

Many of the Junior League rules are used (such as runners being permitted to lead off bases, runners may attempt to steal at any time) and allowing an on-deck batter. It aligns more with the rules and style of play in North Carolina Junior High baseball.
