Game Schedule

SPRING:  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 (GJBA has limited control on locations and times) 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 younger players at earlier times, especially during the typical school year.  Games are typically not scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays.  All player pitch parents should expect game travel to neighboring fields/towns within Jefferson County.  All player 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.

FALL:  Typically 1 game on Sundays ONLY, usually located in Arvada.  Season consists of 7-8 games between late August and mid October.
