Ages 8-11 | Players who: (1) choose not to play in the Major League; or (2) try out for the Majors League and are not drafted onto a Major League team will play in the Minor League program. Players between the ages of 10 through 12 years old can try out for the Major League. We encourage all eligible players in that age range to try out.
The Minor League is a competitive program that incorporates a "recreation" philosophy. Whereas, the players in this league are playing by Major League rules, with a few exceptions. This league stresses the teaching of baseball fundamentals and sportsmanship. A playoff championship will occur at the end of the season. The Minor League Director will conduct a draft with the team managers to assign these players to teams.
Little League Age 8, 9, 10 - Evaluations are required for placement in either the Farm or Minor leagues. Players, who do not get selected to play in the Minor league, will be eligible for and will play in the Farm league. See local rules for eligibility requirements.

The Major League is a competitive program that incorporates a "travel team" philosophy. Player's knowledge and experience will grow with the regular game schedule, potential post season play, and the extensive practice schedule. Players between the ages of 10 through 12 who are interested in playing in the Majors are selected through an evaluation and draft process. All 12 year olds will play in Majors unless their skill level would present a safety issue. Players are all redrafted each year.
