We are currently registering for our upcoming spring season. Below is a list of divisions. Tball: Ballplayers ages 4-6 learn hitting fundamentals in a supportive team environment
Rookie: Designed primarily for ball players ages 7-8, this division uses a pitching machine to allow for more hittable balls at the plate and more action in the field.
Minors: The Minor Division is recommended for ballplayers ages 8-10. Experienced 8 years have success at this level. Players build and refine their fundamental skills while beginning to understand game strategy. At least 2 years in Rookie division is recommended before advancing to Minor Division.
Majors: Our Major’s Division is for 11-12 year olds, however 10 year olds may try out. Players should have 2 years in the Minor Division before playing in this division.
