Divisions & Ages
The ages listed below are typical. If you think your player may be ready to play up a division, please reach out to
[email protected] to discuss prior to registering.
Ages 4-6: Tee Ball
Ages 7-8: Minor 1 (Coach Pitch)
Ages 9-10: Minor 2 (Kid Pitch)
Ages 11-12: Majors
Ages 13-14: Juniors (seasons start right after MS seasons end)
For Softball, "league age" determination is straightforward. Whatever the player's age is on January 1st is their "league age" for the year.
For Baseball, it can be a bit confusing as the cut-off is August 31st. Whatever their age is on August 31st is their "league age" for the year. As an example, if your player is currently 10 years old but turns 11 on July 15th, then their "league age" is 11 and they should be registered in the Majors division rather than Minor 2. Still confused? Go here to determine league age for your player,

Attendance is required for all players in these divisions. Players should arrive with a glove, and tennis shoes (no cleats). They may bring their bat if preferred, but we'll have plenty available.
