The Coach/Player 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.

The age ranges noted indicate where players will be registered for the 2026 season. 

We have our registration set up for the divisions with age ranges as a general guideline, meaning most kids that age are playing at that level of play. We do recognize that some kids are capable of competing at a higher level of play than their peers "playing up", and that some kids may not be quite ready to move up to a higher level of play with the other kids their age and choose to refuse a call up to a higher division or "play down" a level from where they are registered.

When you register for GHLL, it is simply a means to get your player enrolled in our system and fees paid, and then we use Player Evaluations to determine what division of play is the best fit for them.

However, just because a player is evaluated for a different level of play than they registered for, that does not guarantee they will be drafted to a team in that division. It is dependent upon there being a spot available for them in that division of play, and it is ultimately the coaches, player agents and Executive Board's determination what the best level of play is for a player.

This division of Little League promotes a higher level of competition than "AA" and emphasizes more of the standard rules of Little League baseball.
