Medicine Hat Little League making changes to Intermediate Division
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Medicine Hat Little League Baseball will be making changes to its intermediate division in the 2019 season.
The association announced the change on Thursday, noting they would be allowing 12-year-old players to play in the Intermediate Division, alongside 13 year old players.
The change was made after Medicine Hat Little League noticed the competitive level of the Junior Division (which involves children aged 12-14, according to Little League International) was regressing from the Major Division (for children aged 9-12). The organization also notes a recurring theme when speaking with the local baseball community is having 13 year old players having to play against players aged 15 and 16.
