Coach Pitch takes the players to the next level of play. The kids are pitched to by one of their coaches and play includes an umpire and base running rules.
REC DIVISION : This division will be meant for the more inexperienced or newly age advanced players (such as Modified Coach Pitch 1 moving up to Coach Pitch 2). Existing league teams that finished in the bottom 50% of their division will be permitted to stay at this lower level of play for continued development and to increase parity within the division.
PRIME DIVISION: This division will be meant for the more advanced coach pitch players (which generally are the 8YO players with multiple years of playing experience). This division will be made up of more competitive teams from previous seasons. Existing league teams that finished in the top 50% of their division while keeping over 50% of their players will be required to play in the Prime division unless they are moving up an age bracket. New teams to this division will still be under the same requirements for limitations on bringing in players and will be limited to 4 players brought in prior to filling the rest via draft.
*To play coach pitch 2 the player must be 6 years old prior to the first game of the season and have game experience. In some cases, a 9 year old may play down in coach pitch if baseball experience is limited and a player evaluation recognizes this to be the division of best fit.
Coach Pitch 2 REC games will be played occasionally during weeknights (Generally Tuesday or Thursday) or weekends.
Coach Pitch 2 PRIME games will be played occasionally during weeknights or weekends.
8U/9U Modified Kid Pitch - Ages 7, 8, 9*
New to the league this season, we are proud to introduce a stepping stone to kid pitch!
The modified division of Kid Pitch is designed as a transitional division between the 8U Coach Pitch Prime division and the 9/10 Rec Kid Pitch Division. Both coach pitching and kid pitching will be utilized during the game. In order to promote a more exciting game, after ball four is called, the offensive coach will enter the game, assume the current strike count, and deliver up to three (3) pitches to the batter. The goal is to help the players transition while also keeping the game fun and exciting.
8U/9U Modified Kid Pitch games will be played mostly during weeknights.
Minors Kid Pitch - Ages 9, 10, 11*
This is the first level where the kids pitch to each other and where there is an increased amount of strategy put into coaching the game. This division plays with tight bases and there is no uncaught third strike rule.
REC DIVISION : This division will be meant for the more inexperienced or newly age advanced players (such as Coach Pitch 2 players moving up to their first season of Minors - Kid Pitch). Existing league teams that finished in the bottom 50% of their division will be permitted to stay at this lower level of play for continued development and to increase parity within the division.
PRIME DIVISION: This division will be meant for the more advanced minors players (which generally are the 10U players with multiple years of playing experience). This division will be made up of more competitive teams from previous seasons. Existing league teams that finished in the top 50% of their division while keeping over 50% of their players will be required to play in the Prime division unless they are moving up an age bracket.
