Tee Ball (4-6 years old)

Tee Ball is the entry level division for players. This experience is grounded in fun and learning baseball fundamentals while also being key to growing a child’s love for the game. Every player will bat each inning and all players will play in the field each inning as well. No score will be kept for games, and a continuous batting order will be maintained.

The Tee Ball Division is co-ed, and the roster size averages 7-10 players. The season includes 1-2 practices per week with a single game played on weekends.

Minors - Player Pitch (9-10 years old)

The goal of our Player Pitch program is to help young players transition from hitting off a machine (in Machine Pitch) to batting a ball thrown by an actual player in the same division from the opposing team.  This division will continue to advance the players by refining their hitting, fielding, and throwing while building upon their baseball foundation.  As players continue learning more complex rules of the game, players will begin to explore baseball "situations" and begin to strategize based on their position. Coaches will guide players during practices and games, but the ultimate goal is for players to be able to "think" on their own and apply their baseball knowledge .

The goal of our Majors program is for players to think, act, and play baseball like dedicated athletes. Like all other divisions, the Majors division will continue to develop the players' skill sets, but athletes will be expected to lead by example in terms of committing themselves to represent baseball excellence.  As players continue learning even more complex rules of the game, their ability to apply their baseball knowledge and prior game experience during "situations" will also be honed. Coaches will guide athletes during practices and games, but the players' ability to "thinking" on his or her own will be expected.

The culmination and ultimate goal of the International Tournament is to advance to the Little League Baseball World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in August.
