A is the division for young players, ages 6-8, who are still developing their skills, but are beginning to throw with accuracy and consistency, are tracking the ball in the air and moving their glove to the ball (not avoiding it, if still avoiding or looking away from the ball, T-Ball is probably the appropriate division), are able to make good contact nearly every time when batting off a tee, and are able to time their swing relatively well with a thrown ball (if timing is still excessively deficient, T-Ball is probably the appropriate division). The player may not catch or field the ball, make an accurate throw, or hit a strike every time, but they have the ability to do this somewhat frequently and not just “by chance.” Practicing these actions is productive without the need to resort to more basic drills that do not depend on such skills.

AAA is a semi-competitive division consisting of players, ages 9-11*, who have developed the skills necessary and have the ability to catch, throw, field, and hit with consistency. A player may have a deficiency in one or two of these skills, but not to the extent that it prevents them from improving through participation in practice and games or puts them at risk of injury. These players generally understand position responsibilities given different scenarios, but may react improperly or at times not know what to do when involved in a play. The intent of AAA is to place players in competitive situations but also facilitate instruction as needed to develop comprehension, engagement, and proper reaction during a sequence of play… while improving skills in preparation to advance to more competitive divisions. *Players that are League Age 8, have completed 1 yr of AA, and who are advanced in skill level may petition the league to be evaluated for consideration to play up to AAA. 

Majors is a competitive division which consists of players, ages 10-12 whose understanding of the game of baseball is well established, and whose skills and abilities allow them to perform all aspects of the game both physically and mentally. These players can catch well thrown balls with ease, hit strikes, field ground balls regularly, catch fly balls, and have attained sufficient comprehension and experience to react properly to most sequences of play (able to determine themselves when a mistake has been made rather than the coach needing to inform them and provide detailed instruction). In this division, players’ skills and knowledge are refined and coaches focus on improving skills that may be lagging, and refining skills that are advanced. Coaches set greater expectations on players in the Majors division including holding players accountable for their actions and behavior. Although instruction is still provided, coaches offer encouragement and make a deliberate effort to motivate players to perform to the best of their ability. While players may play a variety of positions during the season, players most often play in the position(s) for which they have demonstrated/attained skill and knowledge.
