"A" - BASEBALL - (Ages 6-7-8)
This level of play fosters continued skills development and a better understanding of the rules and nuances of the game. Either coaches or a pitching machine will provide pitching to "A" players. The focus remains on the fun of playing the sport while more coaching attention is given to fielding, making plays, accurate throwing, proper hitting technique and preparing the player for player-pitch at the "AA" level.
*Little League 6 year olds are welcome to play A Baseball if they have played one year of T-Ball and pass a safety evaluation.
"AA" - BASEBALL (Ages 7-8-9)
The "AA" Division is a level of baseball where a higher level of game understanding and ability is taught. Competition as it relates to winning and losing is introduced at this level. Winning and losing remain secondary to the essential goal of teaching each player to embrace success or failure with grace and to learn from both. Primary goals are to give players as much experience and playing time as possible and encouragement of ongoing development for all players in all phases of the game. This important developmental division provides a relatively even but not necessarily equal distribution of playing time among players. "AA" includes player pitch, scoring and umpiring. By the end of the season players are expected to have refined their skills so they may successfully participate at the "AAA" level the following year.
