Rookies (Ages 7-8) Machine Pitch
This division is for players who are of league ages 7 and 8. This division follows a unique set of rules established by the league. Players will continue to develop their throwing, catching, fielding, and hitting skills. Situational game play and strategy will begin to be introduced. Games are played using a machine to pitch to the players in order control speed, but more importantly providing the accuracy to develop proper hitting mechanics. Teams will play at least 3 innings. Games/practices are typically 1 weekday and 1 weekend (Saturday) scheduling. During the week coaches will split their time focusing more on practicing fundamentals and finishing with an inning of scrimmage. This is to ensure the development of basic skills are emphasized. Weekend dates will be focused more on playing the game for fun. At the end of the regular season every team will make the end of season playoffs of which the teams will play in playoff games where score is kept and a finals winner will end the season.
