League Info

Palmer Lower Baseball has officially joined the Lehigh Valley Rec Baseball Alliance (LWRBA).

The LVRBA consists of neighboring organizations including Nazareth, Pen Argyl, and Slate Belt.

Season Structure:

Minors (9 & 10) and Majors (11 & 12): These competitive divisions will play a full inter-town schedule against the other Alliance teams, offering expanded and more varied competition.  These divisions will compete to play in a season ending tournament in mid-June.

Tball, Rookie, and Farm (U8): These younger developmental levels will primarily play their regular season games in-house within Palmer. Travel opportunities for these levels will be limited and occur primarily on weekends.  As the players get older, more travel will be involved.  This means Tball will have the least amount while Farm will have the most.  Farm will compete to play in a season ending tournament in early June. 

Farm (8u), Minors (9 & 10), and Majors (11 & 12) will have an evaluation before the season starts in order to determine teams.  This is NOT a try-out as all ball-players will be placed on a team.  This process allows us to pick teams as fairly as possible.  The date for evaluations is TBD.
