Shetland
The Shetland Division is for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 6 years old. The players will learn the fundamentals of baseball as well as good sportsmanship and confidence. The players will begin the season hitting off a standard batting tee. Then as players progress, they may be introduced to some coach pitching. The balls are "lobbed" overhand to the batter in an attempt to develop their hand-eye coordination. All players present for the game will play in the field and no one sits on the bench. There is no win-loss record and no "official" score is kept in the Shetland Division. There is a three outs per half or five-run rule per half inning.
Pinto
The Pinto Division is for boys and girls between the ages of 7 and 8 years old. The Pinto Division is a continuation of the development of baseball fundamentals and putting them to use. This division is played on a field with 50 foot base paths, 38 foot pitching distance, 6-inning games, and 1 hour and 45 minute game time limits. This division does field an "All-Star" team in the post season tournament held in late June, early July. The Pinto Division is a combination of "coach pitch" and "player pitch" the first half of the season, and all "player pitch" the second half. The three out/five run rule exists in this division. Standings are kept and awards are handed out for 1st and 2nd place teams.
Mustang
The Mustang Division is for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 10 years old. The Mustang Division is a continuation of the development of basic baseball fundamentals, while beginning to transition to more advanced baseball specifics and putting them to use. Specifically, this division uses the balk rule, leading off each base and stealing. Metal cleats are NOT allowed at this age. The division plays on a 60-foot baseline, 44-foot pitching distance, and the games are timed. No new inning can begin after 2 hours. All players must "try-out" prior to team selections. Although this is called a "try-out", all players will be selected (depending on available managers). This division fields an "All-Star" team for post season tournament play.
Bronco
The Bronco Division is for boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 12 years old. We play the real game of baseball, including base stealing and dropped third strikes. The distance between bases is 70 feet, with a pitching distance of 48 feet. Games are 7 innings or 2 hours in length.
Pony
The Pony Division is for boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 14. The Pony division is a continuation of the development of more advanced baseball fundamentals, as with the Pinto and Mustang divisions, the Pony division is a transition league. Players are typically transitioning to high school baseball. This division will continue to use all of the major league baseball rules with the exception of the designated hitter rule, and will begin to use high school rules, such as must slide into 2nd base on double plays, must avoid contact, 3 trips to the mound before taking the pitcher out, the high school balk rule(s), etc. A single batting order is used as well as standard defensive positions. High School rules enforce a bat size restriction, but this division does not enforce that rule. This division plays on an 80-foot baseline, 54-foot pitching distance, and 7-inning games that are timed, where no new inning can begin after 2 hours and 15 minutes. Like the Bronco Division, playing time is monitored and each player must play a minimum of 5-innings on defense and have at least one at bat in two consecutive games. All players must try-out prior to team selection. Depending on the amount of managers, all players will most likely be selected. This division will field an All-Star team for post season play. Each All-Star Tournament is typically held in early and mid-July.
