2022 Middle School Schedule is now FINAL and mailed out to all Coaches on 3/10/2022. The website below has the FINAL schedule.
Coaches Meeting: All schools interested in participating should have a representative available at the League Meeting which will be held on Saturday, January 29th at 1:30 pm. The meeting will be held at the Chillicothe Athletic Center (former Chillicothe Raquetball Club) located at 1245 Western Ave, Chillicothe, OH 45601
Any teams that are interested in participating in the league in 2022 please fill out this form so we can contact you about the January meeting. Although league games are being scheduled on Sundays we are also working with Ross County Park so that teams can schedule non-league games there in spring 2022.
South Central Ohio Middle School League (SCOMSL)
General Overview: The league was created to establish a middle school league for non-sanctioned middle school “club” baseball teams to participate in. The league will be broken up into two divisions: an A division and a B division. These divisions are created to get away from the traditional 7th grade and 8th-grade divisions allowing middle school programs to better match up to their players accordingly to the talent in their program. If teams prefer they are able to enter teams made up of all 7th graders and/or all 8th graders. An all 8th-grade team would typically participate in the A division while an all 7th-grade team would typically participate in the B division.
Schedule: Games will be played on Sunday afternoons, 1 pm start times with all games during the regular season being doubleheaders. The only exception would be the Easter weekend and those games would be played the Saturday before Easter. The season will begin Sunday, March 27th, and be completed on Sunday, May 1st with Sunday, May 8th being a makeup weekend. Any league games NOT completed by 5/8/2022 will not be played.
End of Season Tournaments: An optional tournament will be provided for both divisions for the 2022 season. The cost for the tournament will be separate from the league fees and will be collected to cover the costs for the tournament. The details for the tournament are not yet final but the tournament will be hosted in Chillicothe and the league will provide baseballs, umpires, and fields for the tournaments.
