The Fairfax Junior Division is an expansion of the Little League to accommodate young people who are league ages 13 and 14.  The game is played on a 90 foot field, the same as high school and college baseball.  Selection on a Junior Division team is made through the draft system.  Player evaluations are held in February.

This past season the Junior games were played at Robinson High School, Woodson High School and Frost Intermediate School.

The Fairfax Little League Board experimented in 1996 with two 13-year-old Junior teams playing interleague games with neighboring leagues.  In 1997 the Fairfax Little League Board voted to expand the Junior Program.  As a result, there were eight teams of 13-year-olds in the Junior Division. The 1998 season was particularly rewarding.  There were seven Junior teams and they played a 20 game schedule. There were two All-Star teams that made it to the final 3 in the District 10 Tournament, with the Dominion Junior team winning the District championship.  The team then went on to play in the Virginia State Tournament in Richmond.

At the beginning of the 1999 season, the Fairfax Little League Board expanded the Junior Division to include 13 and 14 year olds.  This past season there were 12 Junior teams that played a 20 game schedule. There were three All-Star teams with one team making it to the final game.

This coming year promises to be another exciting year for our Junior Division with the increase of 90 foot fields. Fairfax County has agreed to replace the backstop and skin the playing surface at Frost Intermediate School, replace the backstop at Robinson High School, and create a new 90 foot field at Bonnie Brae.

Stay tuned for Juniors Teams and schedules in the Spring!
