Baseball is one of the oldest interscholastic sports at Thornton Academy; the school fielded its first varsity baseball team in 1895.
The typical Thornton Academy baseball season consists of sixteen regular season games and five non-countable exhibition dates. Thornton Academy competes in the historically strong Southwestern Maine Activities Association against traditional York County rivals such as Biddeford and Sanford and many other conference affiliates. For regional post-season purposes, the Golden Trojans are grouped in the Class A South region.
All practices and home contests take place at one of the two fields on Thornton Academy’s campus. Participation in Thornton baseball is a six-day per week commitment as high school teams typically play games on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and hold practices on the remaining weekdays.
Tryouts for Thornton Academy’s baseball teams take place at the end of March. The varsity level is reserved for the school’s most highly skilled players while the freshman and junior varsity teams are designed primarily for player development.
