Practice and games will be on Saturday beginning on Opening Day. T-BALL (ages 5-6) Introduction to the game in a non-competitive division. Emphasis is playing on a team in a fun, low-key environment. Players age 5 MUST play in the T-Ball level. The maximum eligible age for T-Ball is 6. The division is divided into two groups, T-Ball 1 and T-Ball 2. T-Ball 1 is for players who are league age 5 or are playing their first year of baseball. T-Ball 2 is for players who are league age 6 or are returning players. A (ages 7-8) Single A is for players age 7 or 8 who are prepared for the next level of play. The division is "coach pitch". Players at this level begin to regularly make routine plays in the field and can consistently hit a thrown pitch. The focus is on enjoying the game while learning and developing baseball skills. 1-2 games a week (1 Saturday game plus 1 weekday game, typically no games on Friday) AA (ages 8-9) AA is half "coach pitch" in the first half of the season and "kid pitch" is introduced in the second half of the season. Players at this level must be minimum league age 8. This is the last non-competitive level and prepares players for the AAA and Majors levels. Players at this level consistently make routine plays in the field and begin to understand some advanced concepts. Some players will repeat this level to gain more skills before advancing to AAA. AA players are eligible for post-season play. AA post-season is pool play format followed by a championship bracket (all teams play). 1-2 games a week (1 Saturday game plus 1 weekday game, typically no games on Friday) AAA (ages 9-10) AAA is the first competitive draft level for players 9-10 (league age 11 players are allowed under board discretion and who have had only 1 year of AAA). Players play using the standard little league rules and the game is fast moving. Steals are permitted (no leads) and players may begin to specialize in positions. AAA players are eligible for post-season play. Tryouts and a AAA Draft will determine if the player is selected for this division. Most players are expected to play 2 years of AAA before moving on to the majors division. AAA post-season is a double elimination bracket based on team rankings from the regular season (all teams play in the playoffs). Following playoffs, players are eligible to be selected onto post-season all-star teams. Note: Under special exception, League Age 12 players who have had no baseball experience may be requested to play in AAA.
