Marshalltown Baseball Club Recreational Level Youth Baseball is a fun way to get your child involved in baseball. This program provides an opportunity to participate in a traditional recreational league for kids currently age 4 (Pre-School)  through 2nd grade focused on learning the fundamentals of the game of baseball and sportsmanship. Volunteer-parent coaches teach the players baseball rules, skills, and techniques through practice. Players will participate in inter-league games, which will enhance their competitive spirit while focusing on age-appropriate instruction and teamwork. A typical week during the season will include one game and one practice at Marshalltown Little League Complex.  

The Marshalltown Baseball Club Recreational PLUS level programming focuses on learning the fundamentals of the game with the opportunity to compete in the Cedar Valley League. Grades consist of 3rd through 7th grade.  Volunteer-parent coaches teach the players baseball rules, skills, and techniques through practices and games which will enhance their competitive spirit while focusing on instruction and teamwork. Practices will be twice a week prior to the season and once a week during the season.  During the season players will participate in league games twice a week against teams throughout the Marshalltown, Marshall County, Tama County, and Grundy county area during the week.  All Rec+ Level players in grades 3 - 4 are also eligible to play at the Rec Level as well for no additional cost.  If you would like to play both levels, just                    and we will add the player to the Rec Level league.  Out-of-town travel is required to participate in the Rec+ Level program.  Travel could be up to an hour from the Marshalltown area.  The 7th grade Rec+ teams may also play in a couple of tournaments.  There can/will be multiple teams but rosters are limited to a maximum of 12 athletes, determined by registration order.  This ensures adequate playing time for each athlete and is easier to manage from a coaching perspective.  If there are not enough excess players to fill an additional team, those athletes will still be able to play at the Rec. Level. This is for grades 3 - 6 only as there are not multiple options available for 7th grade at this time. Grades 3 - 4 registration fees do not include tournaments.  If coaches want to take a team to a tournament, that is managed outside of the club.

The purpose of the Marshalltown Baseball Club Competitive level programming is to provide opportunities for higher-level competition while emphasizing fun and growth through instruction. Teams will be assigned based base on tryouts held each summer after the season. The program focuses on learning the fundamentals of the game of baseball with 1-2 practices per week during pre-season and the regular season. Practices typically start in early February and the season continues through the USSSA state tournament in July.  Volunteer-parent coaches teach the players baseball rules, skills, and techniques through practice. Players will participate in league games, plus local double headers and weekend tournaments which will enhance their competitive spirit while focusing on instruction and teamwork.
