Bronco:
The next step is BRONCO LEAGUE, where the players advance from the 60 to the 70 foot diamond and for the first time may pitch a complete seven inning game. The pitching distance is 48 feet.
As 13- and 14 year-olds, the youngsters advance to Baseball LEAGUE. In years past, players were taken from a diamond with 60 foot basepaths to the regulation 90 foot diamond. Infielders who were playing on a diamond with 3,600 square feet of playing area suddenly found themselves on a diamond with 8,100 square feet of playing area – more than double the area in one year.
The Baseball League diamond, with 6,400 square feet and 80 foot basepaths, serves as the transition program from the small diamonds to the regulations diamonds, the pitching distance is 54 feet.
