High School players (not on an active high school or Legion roster) can play on EAA competitive baseball teams in the Metro Area Baseball League (MABL). The JV Division (Ages 16 and Under) and Varsity Division (Ages 18 and Under) compete against teams from Ralston, Millard, Bryan, Papillion, Gretna, Suburban, Westgate, Keystone, Hillside, Cedar Bluffs, Boystown and others. Seasons typically consist of the regular season, a season ending tournament, All-star games, and a home run derby. Teams may also elect to play in tournaments outside of the league. Elkhorn teams are created through a tryout process.  High school-aged players from any school district are invited to tryout. Teams typically play 20-30 regular season games with practices starting in March and games beginning in late April/early May and ending the first week or second week of July. This is a competitive baseball league.
