INSTRUCTIONAL

Who can play?

• Ages: 6-8 years old

General Rules

• Field Specs: 60-foot base paths; a 35 foot pitching distance.
• Option to operate with multiple divisions based on age and/or ability. Divisions may include:
  • "Machine Pitch"
  • "Coach Pitch"
• Local option: a player who is league age 6 for the current season and has played a year in Tee Ball is eligible for the Coach Pitch or Machine Pitch Minor divisions. League age 12-year-olds may participate in the Minor Division under certain circumstances.
• A local league might organize its 7-8-year-olds in the Coach Pitch Division and its 9-10-year-olds in the Player Pitch division; however, by local option, some of the 9-year-olds could "play down" in the coach pitch division, and some of the 8-year-olds could "play up." This is entirely the choice of the local league board of directors. 
• There is no minimum or maximum composition for rosters, but most leagues have rosters in the 8-12 range.
