JCBI operates three developmental competitive baseball teams where the Jays Baseball Coaching staff helps prepare you for high school baseball.  This program is open to all baseball players whether or not you attend Jefferson City Public Schools and isn’t apart of the school system whatsoever.  So grab your gear and we’ll see you on the field.
