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. 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.   Out-of-town travel is required to participate in the Rec+ Level program.  Travel could be up to an hour from the Marshalltown area.   There can/will be multiple teams but rosters may be 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 - 7.  If coaches want to take a team to a tournament, this needs to be approved by the board.

The purpose of the Marshalltown Baseball Club Travel 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.
