Divisions

Content

Tee Ball is for boys and girls aged 4-6. The season goes from March until April.

AA Division

The AA Division is for 7-8 year olds. There is a continuous batting order, where all players bat against a pitching machine. This is a non-competitive division for fun and player development. No score is kept, and no playoff games.

Season runs from March - Late May

AAA Division

The AAA Division is for 9-11 year olds. It is a competitive level, where score is kept and games are won or lost. There is a 5 run limit per inning per team. Players pitch, and all players bat (continuous batting order).

The season runs from March - Late May. There is a single playoff game between the AAA team with the best record in the first half of the season versus the AAA team with the best record in the second half of the season. The winning team will play in the Turlock City Championship game against the Turlock American Little League AAA division champion, scheduled in May. Regardless of the outcome, the winning AAA team will also play in the District Tournament of Champions games, scheduled in May or June.

Major Division

In late January, we will hold player evaluations. This will help us arrange teams fairly to maintain a competitive environment for the AAA Division. During the evaluations, our Major division managers will be scouting for the Major division draft. Players 10-12 years old will be eligible to be drafted by a Major division team. Players drafted by a Major Division team manager will be moved from the AAA Division to the Major Division.

Some of the differences with the Major Division include a 9 batter lineup, and no 5 run limit per inning per team.

Season runs from March 2nd - Late May. Playoffs are scheduled for May. The winning team will play in the Turlock City Championship game against the Turlock American Little League Major division champion, scheduled in May. Regardless of the outcome, the winning team will also play in the District Tournament of Champions games, scheduled in May or June.

Junior Division

The Junior League Division is a program for boys and girls ages 13-14, using a conventional 90-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 60 feet, 6 inches. Modified diamond dimensions may be used during the regular season.

Many of the Junior League rules are used such as runners being permitted to lead off bases, runners may attempt to steal at any time, and allowing an on-deck batter. The culmination of the International Tournament is the Junior League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the world. All expenses for the teams advancing to the World Series (travel, meals and housing) are paid by Little League International. Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this teenage division of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.

Season runs from Mid May - Late June
