The Instructional Rookie division allows players to grow and prepare for coach pitch next year. Coaches pitch to kids so they can learn to see the ball coming out of a pitcher’s hand. They learn to follow the ball all the way into the catcher’s mitt. They learn the fundamentals of the game, such as fielding, hitting, throwing, and defense. Games last six innings, and all players bat, and 10 play in the field. This division is primarily for players league ages 6, 7, and 8-year-olds (as of August 31, 2026). League ages for the fall season are determined by the date of August 31, 2026.
