The Alternative Press

WEST ORANGE, NJ - Since 1959, The Mountain Top League has provided recreational sports programs for children of all levels in Baseball, Basketball, and In-House Soccer. The volunteer organization also offers competitive traveling soccer with the United Soccer Club. 

Mountaintop is currently offering several registrations for spring sports:

Baseball Registration (Registration open now through March 1)

Programs
AA (ages 8-9)
Babe Ruth (ages 13-14-15) - 
Coach Pitch (Age 7) 
Majors (ages 10-11-12)
T-Ball (age 5-6) - Tuesday and Thursday
T-Ball (ages 5-6) - Monday/Wednesday

MTL might suggest that  child play in a lower age league if it is determined that not doing so would pose a safety hazard to that child.

Any player ages 8 through 12 must attend a practice session (Dates TBD) to be evaluated! Every registered and evaluated child will be placed on a team. Those players who submit an application after teams are formed or do not attend a mandatory evaluation will be placed on a waiting list and may not be included on any roster.
