• Spring Season: 1-2 practices a week and 1 game a week.

• All travel players are required to also play Rec Baseball through the 4th grade.

• All players must be available for beginning of March (twice per week for 4 weeks) and be committed to play in Spring. Each team will determine requirements for potentially a Summer and Fall Season.

Congratulations to the 8U Lady Knights – Summer Champions! 🥎
We are incredibly proud of our 8U Lady Knights for bringing home the Summer Championship! These young athletes showed heart, hustle, and teamwork all season long—and it paid off in a big way. Way to go, champions! The future of North Caldwell softball is bright!

The North Caldwell Knights Baseball and Softball Association is proud to celebrate the conclusion of a remarkable spring season, one filled with growth, grit, and great accomplishments across all age levels.

This year, we fielded a record number of teams and players, with many of our squads competing in the top divisions throughout various leagues. The season was marked by exciting playoff runs, with several teams making it all the way to their respective championship games.

A huge congratulations to our 12U Red Baseball and 10U Baseball teams for bringing home the division championships! Both teams showed tremendous heart and determination, and their titles are well-deserved.

We also recognize the incredible efforts of our 9U Red Baseball, 13U Baseball, and 8U Black Softball teams, all of whom reached the finals in their divisions. While they fell just short of the title, their deep playoff runs were a testament to their hard work and talent.

As the spring season comes to a close, we thank all the players, coaches, and families who made it possible. Your commitment and support continue to build a strong Knights community.

Enjoy the summer, and good luck to all of our teams competing in summer ball—keep making us proud!
