Morrisville Little League: Minor League Baseball Division

Eligibility:
Players age 8,9, or 10 as drafted. Ages are as of April 30, 2010

Purpose:
The minor league baseball division is designed to provide players with instruction and assistance with development while introducing the competitive aspect of the game. This is accomplished by dividing the season into three sections; spring training, regular season, and playoffs.

Basic Structure:
Players are placed on a team via the annual draft - held in early March. Teams will play other teams from Morrisville Little League. Teams will typically play two games per week from early April through early June. Teams will practice once or twice per week. Games last 6 innings, subject to a 2 hour time limit. Scores and standings are kept. An inning ends when either 3 outs are recorded or 4 runs are scored. Players pitch the entire season. Stealing, bunting, and walks are allowed.

Equipment:
The league will provide each player with a hat, shirt, pants and socks. The league will provide each team with bats, balls, catcher's gear, helmets, first aid kit and ice packs. Each player needs to have his/her own glove. Each player should wear rubber cleats. Boys must wear a protective cup.

Location:
All games are played on the Minor League field(the field at the north end of the park) in Williamson Park on Delmorr Avenue in Morrisville.
