About Elevation Baseball
Elevation Baseball is a District 5 North Shore Little League collaboration designed to support player development and progression for athletes ages 13–14.
​
The program brings together committed players from across North Shore leagues to train and compete at a higher level while remaining grounded in the values of Little League. Elevation is intended to complement, not replace, local league participation by providing additional development, game experience, and exposure to the larger diamond as players prepare for the next stage of baseball.
​
Our focus is on long-term development, strong fundamentals, competitive growth, and creating a positive environment for players, coaches, and families.

-
Program direction and governance
-
Player selection framework and eligibility standards

Coaching alignment and development philosophy
This structure ensures the program remains collaborative, transparent, and aligned with the best interests of players and local leagues.
