Divisions Available
9-, 10- & 11-Years Old's – Minor League Division
This level is basically for 3rd & 4th grade players only. The 9 years old division is for players that would like a STEP UP from the coach pitch league. For the 2022 season, we will be utilizing a pitching machine for the first half of the game season & transition into to live arm girl pitch for the second half (with the option of going back to using the machine, if coaches/teams desired). This league is to help introduce and develop players to learn how to "pitch" without the stress of having to pitch the entire game/season. Developmental for the next step of live-arm pitch games.
10-, 11- & 12-Years Old's – Major League Division
This level is basically for 5th & 6th grade players, only. It can be open the 12-year-old 7th graders as well. The 10-, 11- & 12-years old division is for 10-, 11- & 12-years old children that are familiar with live arm pitching in the game. No machines will be utilized at this level for game play. Machine pitch could be used during team practice, only! This division is also for 9-year-old children that are capable of handling the next level of play.
Program Timeline - Practices & Games
* Team practices will begin the last week of March 2024. You can expect at least two weeknight practices a week prior to games starting.

Each team will have a total of 12-14 games scheduled on various weeknights with possible Saturday morning games, depending on which division the participant is in.
