The Astro league is a 7 and 8 years old league, with consideration given to some 6 year olds.  This league is a fun, instructional but yet competitive league designed to advance the player’s skills and prepare them for the next step.  This league introduced players to pitching through 2 inning of player pitch.  Fields are age appropriate and the rules are designed to protect, but not over load the players.  This is one of Edgewood’s largest leagues, with up to 20 teams.
