The Tee Ball division is a great introduction to Little League Baseball. Teams are organized by league age, neighborhood, and school attendance when possible, but not guaranteed. This is an introductory division focused on instruction where players hit off a tee rather than a pitched ball. Soft, Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) balls are used for safety. No scores are kept, every offensive player bats each inning regardless of outs and no player sits on defense. Players are taught the basic fundamentals of baseball including throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position, and base running.

ROOKIE (Ages 6 & 7)
The Rookie division is intended to transition the Tee Ball players to coach pitch play. Like Tee Ball, teams are organized by league age, neighborhood, and school attendance when possible, but not guaranteed. This is an instructional division where players hit "live" Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) balls pitched by their own coach from a short distance, typically from one knee. If after a number of coach pitches, the batter is still experiencing difficulty, a tee is used to assist players put the ball in play so they can also work on running the bases. No scores are kept and every offensive player bats each inning regardless of outs. On defense each team will have ten (10) defensive positions.

 A BALL (Ages 8 & 9)
The Single A Division will use pitching machines during all games. This ensures hitters regularly see strikes, which improves increases the number of balls in play, so players can continue to improve their defensive skills. This is also the first introduction to a baseball (Level 10) that is harder than used at previous levels, although it is not as hard as that used in the AAA and Majors divisions.  Each half inning will consist of 6 batters or 3 outs being recorded, whichever comes first. Scores are kept and playoffs held at the end of the season to determine a champion. On defense each team will have ten (10) defensive positions.

AA BALL (Ages 9 & 10)
The AA Division is the first “draft” level division consisting primarily of league age 9 and 10-year-old players. League age 8-year-old players are allowed to try out given they participated in the Single A division in the prior season with the league or a similar division in another Little League. All players are required to  to attend a player evaluation and teams are formed through a manager draft process supervised by the Division Coordinator, Player Agent, and League President. A Level 10 baseball is also used at this level.

The AA season begins using a pitching machine to get players game reps and experience hitting and fielding, while we also train and prepare players for kid pitch, which will be introduced during the season. On defense each team will have ten (10) defensive positions, and scores and standings are kept. Trained umpires enforce the Rules and Regulations of Little League Baseball. Players are taught advanced fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to pitching techniques, playing positions, defensive pre‐pitch preparedness, live batting, and aggressive base running. A postseason tournament in which all teams in the division participate will determine the champion for the division.

AAA (Ages 10 & 11)
The AAA Division is a "draft" level division consisting primarily of league age 10, and 11-year-old players. League age 9 year olds are allowed to try out given they participated in the AA division in the prior season or an equivalent division from another Little League.  All players are required to try out and teams are formed through a manager draft process supervised by the Division Coordinator, Player Agent, and League President.
