Minor AA Division: Instructional division for player ages 8-9 (EXCEPTION: Players who are league age 7 are permitted to advance to Minor AA after participation in the Farm Division for at least one Spring season and who are drafted after attending tryouts). Players are drafted to teams based on a pre-season tryout. The Minor AA Division is an instructional level, operated under a competitive format, but with the focus of skill development. The primary difference in Minor AA, from Minor AAA, is that coaches may be on the field during the 1st half and provide skills development for players during the game. In addition, there are no regular season standings as compared to AAA. Any player missing tryouts who is league age 9 will automatically be placed in the Minor AA. Minor AAA may obtain injury/replacement players from Minor AA during the season (refer to Little League rules / Local League rules "Bylaws" for further guidance). A complete division bracket for our end of the season "Fun Festival" will be based on a random hat draw seeding for AA.
