Reston Little League A Ball Division: Welcome

A - Ball (Playing Ages 6-8)   At this level, players improve their fundamental skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Pitching machines are used to pitch regulation baseballs to their own team. The A division is primarily for playing age 6 and 8 year old players. Teams are organized by the Player Agent. It is an instructional division where players hit balls pitched by a pitching machine. Players are taught the fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and running the bases. The A division is intended to be a logical transition from T-Ball to Player Pitch play.  Score is kept to determine when to end an inning (4 runs or 3 outs, whichever comes first), but standings are not kept.
