Mt. Seymour Little League: Mount Seymour 2012 Divisions
Majors
| This division is the most competitive division for 9-12 year olds. Note: Little League rules stipulate that 8 year olds cannot play in this division. All players, except 12 year olds and those who played in the Majors division last year, must qualify to play in this division by first attending assessment sessions. The top scoring players from assessments are invited to Majors tryouts. All returning players plus those invited from the assessment sessions must attend Majors tryouts, so that teams can be balanced. All teams are completely re-drafted each year - i.e. players do not automatically return to the team they played on last year. All games for this division with the exception of the Interlock games are played at Myrtle Park. Team Formation: Teams are formed using a draft conducted by the coaches in the division and the League's Player Agent. Post-season Opportunities: The winner of the District Championship advances to the Provincial Tournament. That winner goes to the Canadian Championships and the Canadian winner participates in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA. |
AA
| 8-10 yr olds. This division is the first division where pitching is introduced. All players must attend assessments in order to ensure balanced teams are formed. 10 year olds who have not qualified to play in Majors or AAA will be assigned to this division. 8 and 9 year olds must qualify to play in this division based on their assessment scores. Games in this division are played at Blueridge and Seycove diamonds. Team Formation: Teams are formed using a draft conducted by the coaches in the division and the League's Player Agent.
