I just wanted to know what the difference was between the two? Are they in a league of their own or in the same with other colleges?

Quick,
I'm not completely sure what your question is, but I'll give a shot at an answer.
Most Community Colleges and JUCO's participate in a league with other CC & JUCOs. For a listing of all schools that are a part of the NJCAA go to this link: http://www.njcaa.org Click on the men's sports and you will find Men's baseball, I, II, & III. This will list all the schools that participate at each particular level. It is also possible to search geographically.
I hope that answers your question.

Good responses MontanaDad.
Yes, most CC schools compete only with other CC schools in the area. Some will compete in different divisions of CC(There are 3 divisions, I II III) based on location, while others will only play schools in their division, or league.
Another big difference in the different CC, is the fact that in JUCO I and II, scholarship money can be grated, while in Div. III, no athletic scholarships can be given out. So in many ways, it is very similar to the NCAA.

Sorry I completely wrote that wrong, I just wanted to know the difference between CC and JUCO with colleges and universities.
Quick,
Thanks for clarifying your question. A CC or JUCO is a two year school, typically offering and Associate Degree. They used to be called Junior Colleges (JUCO), but most have changed their name in recent years to Community College. There is no functional difference between CC and JUCOs.
In contrast, a four year college or university will offer a BS (Bachelor of Science) or a BA (Bachelor of Arts) degree.
One of the big differences between a CC/JUCO and four year school is that a player from a CC/JUCO can be drafted by MLB in either freshman or sophmore year. In a four year school, the players are not eligible for the draft until after their Junior year.

CCs offer a lot of flexibility. Some D-1 university players find they aren't happy early on. Perhaps they learn their big school is going to red shirt them. They can usually switch even after a few weeks into a CC baseball program.
CC players can move to a 4-year program anytime without sitting out a year.
The CCs I've looked at don't over-recruit; their teams have about 25-30 kids and play a ton of games in the spring and a few in the fall, too A freshman should get far more playing time at most CCs than he would at a 4-year school.
Many CC's have tons of scholarships. Full rides are fairly common, I believe. Of course, most CCs are very inexpensive to begin with.
Some CC's will even guarantee players a full ride for the whole two years.
