CHANGES TO SKLL DIVISIONS FOR 2023

SKLL has decided to split the Minor baseball division into an AA and AAA division for the 2023. This will allow for more appropriate training based on player age and skill level. Please read the following descriptions to determine which division is best for your child.

Instructional Division (coach pitch) for ages 5 to 7- The spirit and intent is to provide a positive experience to the participants and an atmosphere for learning the basics of baseball in a non-competitive game setting including positioning, hitting, fielding, throwing, catching, sportsmanship and the basic rules of baseball. All 5 and 6 year olds must have had 1 year of T-ball already.

AA Division (Coach and player pitch) for ages 7 to 9, will introduce players to a higher level of play above the instructional level. The emphasis is on learning the fundamentals of baseball, enjoying playing baseball, and not on competition.

AAA Division (player pitch) for ages 8 to 11, will introduce players to a higher level of competitive play in preparation for graduation to the Major League. The emphasis is on learning the fundamentals of baseball, and instruction on baseball strategies and details. The goal of AAA League is to develop players at different defensive positions and introduce batting techniques, while maintaining a high level of sportsmanship in a positive environment. AAA League is somewhat competitive, but its emphasis is on player development and teamwork.
