Divisions

The Golden Junior Baseball Association (GJBA) is a founding member of the Rocky Mountain Junior Baseball League (RMJBL).  GJBA Kid-Pitch teams play games against comparable teams from neighboring baseball associations located generally within Jefferson County.  The GJBA Executive Committee, in conjunction with individual Kid-Pitch Head Coaches, will determine appropriate competition division for each new or existing team.  The RMJBL offers the following competition divisions:  

  • AAA-National (highest competition)
  • AAA-American
  • AA-National
  • AA-American (lowest competition)

Age Groups

Parents should register their player based on the info shown in the following listed chart, regardless of what age group their team is assigned to (if this is known at the time of registration).  GJBA can/will administratively move registrants as indicated/desired after registration is complete.  Players can be moved “up” to an older age group team, but not “down” to a younger age group team.

Practice Schedule

Typically 1 to 2 weekday and/or weekend practices per week at 2 hours each in the pre-season beginning mid-February (days/times/locations TBD).  Spring practices involve the use of indoor batting cages and/or outdoor fields as permitted by weather and field conditions.  Practice locations are typically located at outdoor baseball fields and indoor batting cage facilities within the general Golden area.  GJBA kid-pitch head coaches have the discretion to adjust/reduce practice schedules when the game season begins.

Game Schedule

Typically 1 to 2 weekday games per week with days/times/locations TBD.  The 13U age group typically begins in mid-April and runs through the end of June.  The 14U age group typically begins in mid-March and runs through the end of May.  Game schedules are created by the RMJBL and will be shared with coaches & parents as soon as it becomes available.  Games are typically scheduled Monday through Friday nights, with approximate 5:30 and/or 7:30 start times.  GJBA will endeavor, in conjunction with field owners and neighboring youth baseball associations, to schedule games for its youngest players at earlier times, especially during the typical school year.  Games are typically not scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays.  All kid-pitch parents should expect game travel to neighboring fields/towns within Jefferson County.  All kid-pitch parents should expect to play some double headers during the season, and should expect changes to the game schedule with respect to weather cancellations, rescheduled make-up games, and end-of-season tournament games.
