Paula Beattie The students of Morristown Elementary School receive their baseball/softball experience through the Morrisville Baseball/Softball Association (MBSA). The MBSA has provided this service to children of Morristown and Elmore for well over 30 years. The association is comprised of a volunteer board that works with the Lamoille County Baseball/Softball Association. The program is dependent on volunteers to step forward to coach, umpire and become part of the operating board. Registration for the program takes place in March. At present MBSA has about 230 children involved from age 5-15 years old. Teams start games in May and finish games about the time school is done for the year. Some players try-out for the Lamoille County All-Stars at the various levels and play into mid July.
Five and six year olds play on a coed t-ball team while the 7 and 8 year olds play coed Rookie Ball. Rookie ball involves an adult pitching to the players. Nine year olds play on a Minor Little League team. Ten to twelve year olds play either on a Minor or a Major Little League team. Evaluations are conducted prior to the start of the season to place 9-12 year olds on a team. Thirteen to fifteen year olds play on a Babe Ruth Team. Fifteen year olds drop down to join their team once they have finished their commitment with the JV/Varsity teams at Peoples Academy.
