Coles Little League offers various programs for male and female youths aged 5 – 18. For the 2008 baseball/softball season, Coles Little League supplied 10 different programs.  For registration purposes, the ages listed below reflect the age of your child on or before April 30, 2009 for baseball, and December 31, 2008 for softball.  The T-Ball division is for boys and girls aged 5-7. This league is often a youngster’s first experience with organized baseball, and is structured so that participants learn Little League rules and the fundamentals of the game. Players hit a stationary ball placed on a “T” and coaches are placed throughout the field to provide instruction and encouragement. The Rookie division is for boys and girls aged 6-8. This league focuses on refining the fundamental skills of Little League baseball in a relaxed, but more controlled environment than other advanced leagues. Players hit balls pitched to them from a pitching machine.  Six year olds who have played at least one year of TBall are eligible to play in this division per the request of the parents.  The AA Coach Pitch League is for boys and girls aged 7-9.  The AAA Minor League Division accomodates youngster aged 8-11, while the Major League division is for boys and girls aged 9-12. The AAA Minor League division is constructed to provide continuing support and emphasis on the fundamentals and rules of the game.  The Major League division, while emphasizing fundamentals and rules, is constructed to provide a more competitive approach. The Junior League division is for boys and girls aged 12-14. This program is the first division for our 90’ base-path fields. It is competitive in nature, but designed to focus on new fundamentals and rules associated in the jump from 60’ fields to 90’ fields. The Senior League division is for boys and girls aged 14-16. This division continues to provide instruction on the fundamentals and rules of the 90’ program, but is more competitive than the Junior League. The Big League division is for boys and girls aged 16-18. This division is the most competitive of the 90’ field programs. The Challenger League division is for handicapped and other impaired boys and girls aged 5-18. This program is focused on providing the fun associated with Little League baseball to participants. Boys and girls from other divisions within Coles Little League serve as “buddies” to help and encourage during the games. The Rookie Softball League is for young ladies aged 6-9.  This program is designed to provide education on the fundamentals and rules of the Little League Softball program.  The AAA Minor Softball program is for young ladies aged 8-12 is still geared toward improving the various skills of the game; while the Major Softball League, for young ladies aged 9-12, is designed to provide experience in the fundamentals and rules of the Little League Softball program in a more competitive environment than the Minor Softball League program.

There are different procedures for the construction of teams at each level.  T-Ball and the Rookie and Coach Pitch divisions (baseball and softball) teams are constructed based on neighborhood location and personal requests.  For the AAA Minor divisions and higher, teams are constructed through try-out and draft sessions.  Any special requests would have to be honored by the team managers during the draft, as the league cannot direct team placement at these levels.
