ZVBL Placement Guide: Should Your Team Play A (Lower) or AA (Upper)? Deciding between A (Lower) and AA (Upper) divisions can be one of the most important choices coaches make
ZVBL Code of Conduct for Coaches, Parents/Spectators, and Umpires The Zumbro Valley Baseball League (ZVBL) expects everyone involved—coaches, parents, spectators, players, and officials—to uphold high standards of respect, integrity, and
Nestled in the rolling bluffs and wooded valleys of southeast Minnesota’s beautiful Zumbro River Valley—ZVBL brings competitive, affordable youth baseball to teams from Byron, Austin, Adams, Lake City, Zumbrota-Mazeppa, Cannon Falls, Kasson-Mantorville, Stewartville, Triton, and many other communities throughout the beautiful Zumbro River Valley and surrounding southeast Minnesota.
We know this area well: families here value hard work, respect, and the simple joy of watching kids play on local fields under the same bluffs their grandparents knew. That’s why ZVBL exists—to bring organized, affordable youth baseball back to our towns without long drives or big-city costs.
From 8U coach-pitch beginnings to 14/15U advanced play, we offer two clear pathways at every age: A (Lower) for development and fun, AA (Upper) for competitive growth. Our rules progress thoughtfully—introducing stealing, breaking pitches, and full-size fields at the right time—so every player is challenged but never overwhelmed.
Above all, ZVBL stands for safety, sportsmanship, and community: strict pitch limits, zero-tolerance conduct policies, background-checked coaches, and a family-first Code of Conduct so kids can focus on the game and building lifelong friendships.
This is baseball rooted in the Zumbro Valley—local, honest, and built for our kids.
We’re excited to launch the 2026 season. Register your team today and let’s play ball in the valley we love.
