Tee-Ball (Age 4-6)

In Tee-Ball, boys and girls play together and the emphasis is on having fun, learning the rules and gaining a basic mastery of skills such as throwing, catching, swinging a bat and running.  Every child is given equal playing time and times at bat.  Coaches and parent helpers stand on the field and help direct players.

Instructional League (Age 6-8)

After one or two years in Tee-Ball, boys and girls still play together in the Instructional League.  At this level, coaches will pitch to the players.  Emphasis remains on having fun, learning the rules and improving skills.

Minor League Baseball (Age 8-11)
Minor League Softball (Age 7-11)

Players that demonstrate an understanding of the rules and are able to participate safely in real baseball or softball games will be advanced to the Minor League.  In Minors, boys and girls split off into baseball and softball respectively.  The games are played by the rules with players doing the pitching and catching.  At this level, competitive aspects of the game will be added such as keeping score, base stealing and playing against out-of-town teams.  While most players are at least 8 years old before entering Minors, some advanced 7-year olds may be added to these teams to fill rosters.
