Dizzy Dean Baseball and Softball
We here at the Jr. Warhawks have been a Franchised Dizzy Dean organization since 2003. Dizzy Dean offers advantages over Little League and other organizations for many reasons. The biggest is that we have no boundaries restricting where you live to decide where you must play. This means that any where in the area you live be it Seminole, Largo, Clearwater, St. Petersburg. Pinellas Park and even Palm Harbour or Dunedin. You are welcome to play with your friends here. Dizzy Dean allows us at the Jr. Warhawks to play in several age groups. 4 - 6 yr old coach pitch (no tees here unless needed) for the first time players or those who want to play an extra year honing their skills. The Farm League is for players 5 to 8 yrs old who are begining tho learn baseball basics, this league is still a coach pitch format but the players are starting to get competative. The Minor League is for players 9 & 10, this will be the first year that the players learn to pitch, steal bases and start to learn the real game of baseball. The Freshman League is for players 11 and 12 yrs old, we now introduce lead-offs,and balks, the bases are moved from 60' to 70' and the pitching rubber is now at 49'. The Sophomore Division is for 13 and 14 yr olds, we are now playing more baseball with the bases now at 80' , the pitching rubber at 54' and lead-offs, balks and dropped third strikes are all inclusive. The Jr. Division is 15 & 16 yr olds and the Seniors are 17 - 19 yrs old.These players are now playing just as the major leagues do with 60' 6" Rubber and 90' Bases, all rules apply.
Dizzy Dean offers post season tournament play for every age from 6 years old to 19 yrs old. 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15&16 and Sr. Tournaments are held each year at the District and State levels. Winning teams advance through these tournaments to play in the World Series.
We here at the Jr. Warhawks feel that this organization was the best fit for us over other Leagues such as Pony, Cal Ripken or Babe Ruth because of the opportunities for our youth, Dizzy Dean also was one of the few organizations that also has a Softball side, the same age groups are offered in softball as in baseball. Our Softball program has been a growing part of our organization for the last 7 years and we wanted all of the girls to also have the same opportunities as the boys. Our Girls are one up on the Boys, THEY have made a trip to the Dizzy Dean World Series in Missippi. Come on guys its your turn!!
