Select Season:  
Major 70 (Ages 11 - 12)
The league's best players are drafted to play in this division. They continue refining their fundamental skills and have a good understanding of advanced game strategy. Under the Official Baseball Rules, the game is played on a 70-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 50 feet. Players are allowed to lead off, pitchers learn picking off runners, and a dropped third strike is played. This division will be for 11 and 12 year-olds only.

***All players who desire to play at this level must attend the try outs. Major 70 games will now have 2 umpires per game!***

Not everyone who tries out for this division will be drafted to a team. If that happens, they will be entered into the Major 60 draft. If they are not drafted to the Major 60 division, you will receive a refund.


Minors (Ages 8 - 10)
In this division players will be exposed to a more competitive environment. They will most likely play multiple positions; however, not all positions will be suitable for every player at this level. Players continue building and refining their fundamental skills while they begin to understand game strategy. Players that are 8, 9, and 10 years-old may play in this division. Under no circumstances shall an 11 or 12 year-old be in this division. 9 and 10 year-olds that were not drafted to a Major 60 team may be drafted here.

***All players who desire to play at this level must attend the try outs.***

8 and 9 year-olds that are not drafted to a Minors team will be moved to the Rookie division. 10 year-olds that are not drafted to a Minors team will be refunded.


Rookies (Ages 6 - 8)
In this division, players will experience all positions, playing several different positions each game. No player shall sit the bench for more than 2 innings per game. By controlling the pitches with a pitching machine, there is more action at the plate and in the field. Fear of being hit by a pitched ball is diminished. It makes the game safer and improves the playing confidence and ability of all participants. 9 year-olds CANNOT register for the rookie division, but may be placed there if not drafted to the Minors division.

***9 year olds not drafted to the Minors will be placed on a Rookie team.***


T-Ball (Ages 4 - 6)
This is a player's first introduction to the concept of a team, and they will learn some of the things that can make it so enjoyable to be part of a team. Our T-Ball division is first and foremost about FUN. The children will be introduced to the skills of baseball. We start with the absolute basics of baseball. The children will be taught how to hold, throw and catch a baseball (we use soft, cloth covered baseballs for safety). Other skills include how to swing a bat, hit the ball and run around the bases in the correct direction.

Major 60 (Ages 9 - 12)
In this competitive division, players have now built strong skills at their positions. They continue refining their fundamental skills while they begin to understand advanced game strategy. Under the Official Baseball Rules, the game is played on a 60- foot diamond with a pitching distance of 46 feet. Players are not allowed to lead off however stealing is allowed. If an 11 or 12 year-old is not drafted into the Major 70 division, they may be drafted here. Highly skilled 9 year-olds MAY play at this level with parents permission and the full knowledge that their child will be playing alongside and against older and bigger kids. Priority will be given to draft all 11 and 12 year-olds that were not drafted into the Major 70 division; however, this does not guarantee they will be drafted.

***All players who desire to play at this level must attend the try outs.***

9 and 10 year-olds who are not drafted to a Major 60 team will be moved to the Minors division. 11 or 12 year-olds that are not drafted here will be refunded.

If a 10 year-old is not drafted to the Minors, they will be refunded.
