NEW — 12:05 p.m., July 19, 2012

The Bellevue Warriors Baseball Club is recruiting players for their 13 and under, 14 and under and 15 and under teams for 2013.

The Warriors team was organized by several parents from Newcastle in August 2009, so children in the area would have a program in place that offered a higher level of competition than was available in the area’s Pony League.

Players may not be older than 15 of May 1. Players who are younger and have advanced baseball skills and physical development may try out for all of the teams.
