MINORS & MAJORS BASEBALL
MINORS - COACH PITCH BASEBALL ("A") League Ages 6-7
This level of play fosters continued skills development and a better understanding of the rules and nuances of the game. The focus remains on the fun of playing the sport while more coaching attention is given to fielding, making plays, accurate throwing, proper hitting technique and preparing the player for the introduction of Player Pitching at the "AA" level.
*Little League 6 year olds are welcome to play Coach Pitch Baseball if they have played one year of Tee Ball or Quickball or pass a safety evaluation.
MINORS - COACH/PLAYER PITCH BASEBALL ("AA") League Ages 8-9
The Player/Coach Pitch division is a level of baseball where a higher level of game understanding and ability is taught. Competition as it relates to winning and losing is introduced at this level. Winning and losing remain secondary to the essential goal of teaching each player to embrace success or failure with grace and to learn from both. Primary goals are to give players as much experience and playing time as possible and encouragement of ongoing development for all players in all phases of the game. This important developmental division provides a relatively even but not necessarily equal distribution of playing time among players. "AA" includes both coach and player pitching, scoring and umpiring.
*League Age 9 year olds who attend Evaluations are eligible to play in the AAA division and may be drafted to a AAA team.
MINORS - PLAYER PITCH BASEBALL ("AAA") League Ages 10-11
