 Rookie:

The Rookie division is the entry level of play in Little League focusing on baseball basics and fundamentals.  It is designed for players 5-7 years of age (beginning level 7 year olds).  Through an evaluation process an attempt is made to create equally skilled teams.  This division uses a pitching machine for all games and players are assisted by coaches on the field during games.  All kids bat and playing time is equal for all players.   Practices and games will be Tues/Thurs evenings, including Saturday games on Opening Day and Super Saturday(last day of season).  The season ends at the end of June.

B-Minor:

The B-Minor division is the second level of play.  It is designed for players 7-9 years of age (higher skilled 7 year olds, 8 year olds, beginning level 9 year olds).  Through an evaluation process an attempt is made to create equally skilled teams.  This division uses a pitching machine for the first half of the season and potentially changes to kid pitch for the second half.  This level of play stresses fundamentals and player development.  This level utilizes up to 10 defensive players in the field.  All kids bat and playing time is equal for all players.  Teams typically participate in a Rookie Weekend/Jamboree at Plymouth/New Hope.  Teams will have up to 3 games/practices per week.  The season ends at the end of June.
