LEAGUES

Ages 4-6 Played on a field with a 45 foot basepath.

6 - 7 year olds - This is primarily a league for six year olds who have already played in Tee-Ball at least one season. Players get five pitches from a machine to try to hit. If they fail to do so, they hit off a tee. Although scores are kept, standings are not and there is no post-season tournament. Like tee-ball, this division is played on a field with 45 foot basepaths.

If you have signed up a seven year old for this division, he/she will be required to try out during the Machine Pitch division tryouts and the league may place him/her in the Machine Pitch division instead, based on skills.

Machine Pitch

Ages 7-8 - This is the primary division for all seven and eight year old ballplayers. The ball is pitched from a machine at 40 mph. The field is larger than the T-Ball and Rookie fields, with 60 foot basepaths. This is the first division in which the players are allowed to steal bases.

Senior-Minor

Ages 9-10 - This is first division in which the kids pitch. The basepaths are 60 feet and the fences are approximately 200 feet away.

Major League

Ages 11-12 - The pitching improves dramatically in this division. The basepaths are 60 feet long.

Junior League

Ages 13-14 - This division is played on a full-size diamond, with 90 foot basepaths and 300+ feet to the fence. Players are allowed for the first time to use metal cleats and "jumbo" bats (2 5/8" diameter barrels). The rules nearly mirror high school rules at this stage.

Those who play in the Junior League are also elegible to play in a Middle School Division for 7^th and 8^th grade boys through Greater Oldham County Baseball. Please consult their website www.gocbaseball.com for details.
