WHAT'S NEW

One Recreational program.

two competitive environments.

Beginning at 7U, Recreational Baseball teams are placed into either the A Division or High-A Division.



League officials consider:

  • Prior team results
  • Returning roster continuity

A / High-A placement is a team designation, not an individual player ranking. Both divisions remain part of Recreational Baseball, and division placement has no effect on All-Star eligibility.

5U–6U

  • Single Recreational division
  • No postseason
  • No All-Stars

7U–12U

  • A / High-A placement
  • Single-elimination postseason

FBSA BASEBALL

A Place to Play. A Path to Grow.

FBSA Baseball gives players a place to play today and a pathway to continue developing tomorrow.


Our programs offer two primary experiences: Recreational Baseball for community-based development and Competitive Baseball for established tournament teams.

Recreational Baseball

Ages 5U-14U


Recreational Baseball is the foundation of FBSA Baseball, emphasizing development, playing opportunities, sportsmanship, team continuity, and enjoyment of the game.


Player Eligibility

Recreational players must either:

  • Live within the City of Frisco, or
  • Attend school within the Frisco ISD attendance boundary.


5U & 6U | Developmental Baseball


Our youngest divisions focus on introducing players to baseball, learning fundamentals, and creating a positive first experience.


  • Development-focused format
  • No competitive separation
  • No postseason tournament
  • No All-Star eligibility


Learn the game. Get opportunities to play. Have fun.

7U - 14U | A & High-A Divisions


Beginning at 7U, Recreational teams compete at one of two levels:


A Division

For newer and developing teams that are continuing to build fundamentals and game experience.


High-A Division

For more established teams with roster continuity and a track record of success that are ready for stronger week-to-week competition.


Both are Recreational Baseball. The goal is not to label teams as "good" or "bad." The goal is to create better matchups, more meaningful innings, and a better experience for every player.


Teams Can Grow together


Existing teams may remain together so players, coaches, and families can build continuity over time. Teams may progress from A to High-A as they develop.

FBSA Baseball Operations will determine A/High-A placement based on previous performance, roster continuity, coach experience, and overall competitive balance.


New Teams

New teams will be formed using school-zone priority, helping players begin their FBSA experience alongside classmates and nearby families whenever possible.

Smaller rosters. More Baseball.


To create more opportunities for every player:


5U–8U: Maximum 12 players

9U–14U: Maximum 11 players


Smaller rosters are intended to mean more at-bats, more defensive innings, more repetitions, and less time sitting on the bench.


Recreational season | 7U-14U


  • 10-game regular season
  • One practice per week
  • One game per week
  • Single-elimination postseason tournament
  • Postseason seeding based on regular-season standings

All Stars

Players in both the A and High-A Divisions from 7U–12U are eligible for the FBSA All-Star program.

Competitive baseball

AGES 7U - 13U


Competitive Baseball is for established teams already participating in tournament baseball and seeking additional high-level competition within FBSA.


Team Registration Only

There is no individual player registration for Competitive Baseball.


The team's coach or manager:

  • Registers the team
  • Conducts tryouts
  • Selects players
  • Manages the roster


FBSA does not place individual players onto Competitive teams.

Competitive team requirements


Teams must have participated in at least:

Three AA or Division III tournaments

during the 12 previous months


Teams must also maintain a roster consisting of at least:

75% Frisco Residents


These standards help ensure Competitive Baseball remains focused on established tournament teams while continuing to serve Frisco players and families.

COMPETITIVE season

  • Up to 2 games per week
  • Doubleheaders when necessary
  • Single-elimination postseason tournament
  • Postseason seeding based on regular-season standings

Looking for a competitive team?



FBSA Player Combines

FBSA will host Player Combines twice each year to help players interested in Competitive Baseball connect with coaches and managers:

  • At the conclusion of the Fall season
  • At the conclusion of the Spring season


The Combine provides an opportunity to be seen by teams looking for players, but participation does not guarantee a roster spot. Teams may also continue conducting independent tryouts throughout the year.


Which Program is right for my player?

  • Your player is new to baseball or continuing to develop
  • Your family values team continuity and community connections
  • You prefer a predictable weekly schedule

Competitive Baseball may be right if:
  • Your player is ready for tournament-level baseball

  • Your family is comfortable with greater competitive expectations
  • Your player's team already participates in AA/D3 tournament baseballe, but are not required to do so
