This co-ed division is grade-based for boys and girls currently in Kindergarten or who will be attending Kindergarten in the Fall. It is an introductory league focusing the proper mechanics of throwing, catching, hitting and base running. Hitting from the tee builds the necessary hand-eye coordination and muscle memory to be successful when hitting a pitch.

Coach Pitch (Currently in 1st-2nd Grades) introduces hitting a ball pitched by your coach. Learning, having fun and building teamwork are the emphasis while teaching proper throwing, catching, hitting and base running mechanics.

Minors (Currently in 3rd-4th Grades) is an exciting year for young players, especially aspiring pitchers and catchers to develop a love for baseball. Pitching, stealing and sliding are introduced with an emphasis on reinforcing proper throwing, catching, hitting and base running mechanics.

Majors (Currently in 5th-6th Grades) increase competitiveness and fine tune skills introduced in Minors.

Pony (Currently in 7th-9th Grades) plays in the Mel Harder League (travel to local communities is required).

Games will be played during the week with Saturdays as a possible rain makeup. Teams will have approximately 2 sessions per week. Once games begin, teams may not practice as all fields will be in use for games.
