Divisions Our T-Ball program (ages 5-6) is the first building block of baseball. The fundamentals of catching, throwing and hitting begin at this level. T-Ball is a purely instructional league and a great deal of praise and enthusiasm is given to all the players at this level. For many children this is their first experience playing organized baseball. It is kept fun, non-competitive and all players participate. Coach-Pitch League (ages 7-8) is the next step in development. It is here that players hit ball pitched by coaches. The skill needed to hit a thrown pitch is learned at this level. Players also begin to learn the different positions on the field and the basic rules of baseball. Throughout our entire program fundamentals are always stressed. At the end of the regular season a Coach-Pitch all-star game is held. The Minor League (ages 8-12) is our farm teams for the Major League. Here players first experience ‘kid pitch’ and are given the opportunity to further develop their skills. Our Minor league is where the players begin to play competitively while continuing to focus on instruction and fundamentals. The Major League (ages 9-12) is usually what everyone thinks of when they hear "Little League". This level plays competitive baseball and at the end of the spring season begins a competitive tournament, which ends at Williamsport with the "Little League World Series". The Fall Training and Development Program begins in September and runs through late-October. This program focuses on skill work and learning the fundamentals. For many players who concentrate on baseball and don't play other sports, this is an important program. It's during the fall that coaches have more time to work one on one with players on specific skills. Younger players can continue what they began in the spring. The enthusiasm the younger players have can be nurtured and strengthened each year through this more relaxed training program. Older players who already have the ambition and dream of playing better baseball seize the opportunity of continuing their baseball education.
