T-Ball: league age 5 - 7
For boys and girls, who are league age 5 by April 30 of the current year.
At the beginning of the season, players hit primarily from a tee with progression towards coach pitch in the latter part of the season and only if the player’s skill and attitude indicates they’re ready. The game uses a soft safety baseball. At least one year of experience in this division is recommended before advancing to the Coach Pitch Division. Teams are formed by geographic location. The cost is $70.00 and includes a jersey and hat. Baseball pants, sleeves and socks are optional and left up for each team to decide.


Coach Pitch Baseball: league age 7-8
For boys and girls, who are league age 7 by April 30 of the current year. A coach pitches to players. The game uses a regulation baseball. This division is recommended for those players who have a basic understanding and proficiency of the game with typically one year of T-ball. Two years of playing at this level is recommended before advancing to the Minor Division. Teams are formed by geographic location. Players, league age 6, showing baseball experience and ability with one year of TBall, may be placed in this division. The cost is $95.00 and includes a jersey, baseball pants, belt, and hat. Sleeves and socks are not included.
**We do not offer Coach Pitch Softball as players this age have trouble properly throwing and catching an 11" softball. It is typically too large for their small hands.


Minor Baseball: league age 9-12
For boys and girls, who are league age 9 by April 30 of the current year. Players pitch to players using a regulation baseball. It is recommended that players complete at least 2 years of Coach Pitch Division and/or can show baseball proficiency and ability to play at this level. Players will be required to go through at least one player evaluation to be eligible for an All Star Tournament Team and for possible recommendation for a Major Division Baseball Team. Teams are formed after the completion of the Major Division Draft by boundary location and ability, which is based on their evaluation score. Evaluations are NOT try-outs. All registered players will be assigned to a team. Evaluations are a process used only as a tool to make sure a player can safely compete at this level. The cost is $95.00 and includes a jersey, baseball pants, belt, and hat. Sleeves and socks are not included.


Little League Baseball: league age 10-12
(Major Division) For boys and girls, who are league age 10 by April 30 of the current year. Players pitch to players using a regulation baseball. Recommended for players who have played 2 years in the Minor Division. Players selected to this division must show an advanced proficiency and ability in order to compete safely with other players. This is demonstrated through participation in at least one player evaluation. Evaluations are NOT try-outs. All registered players, league age 10-12, will be assigned to a Minor or Major Division Baseball Team. An evaluation is a process used only as a tool to ensure a player can safely compete at this level. This is primarily based on their evaluation score. Players must participate in the evaluation process to be eligible for this division and to be eligible for an All Star Tournament Team. Players are assigned to teams through a draft selection process within the League’s boundary map. Any player who played in the Major Division Baseball Team in the previous year will remain in the Major Division; however, each player must go through evaluations each season in order to be eligible for an All Star Tournament Team. Parents may request through the League Player Agent that their player NOT be considered for a Major Division Baseball Team. The cost is $95.00 and includes a jersey, baseball pants, belt, and hat. Sleeves and socks are not included.
