2025 Season

Due to an increase in members, the Club announced plans to include a second line up in the EEBL, Northants Centurions 'Maroon', with a focus on player development.

Development Squad

The Development Squad, established for the start of the 2025 season, was created with the purpose of helping new players and those with less experience, develop their own skills as well as act as a link and a traditional stepping stone between the Youth Squad and adult players. The development team plays in its own league with other development teams.

Youth Squad

Northants Baseball Club also has a youth squad called Mini Centurions aimed at younger players aged 4–14. [4]
