The 3rd & 4th Grade In-Town League runs every year in the spring and fall. It is open to Lexington 3rd & 4th graders. Residents of Hanscom Air Force Base are also welcome to register. Each week consists of one or two weekday practices and a Saturday game.
During the fall season 3rd graders are eligible only for this in-town league. In the spring, 3rd graders can choose instead to participate in the 3rd/4th-8th Grade Travel Club.
