1. Learning the basic rules – the right direction to run when the ball is hit; runners must touch bases; how to record outs (catch the ball in the air, throw to first, or tag the runners); running past first base, scoring a run; three outs constitute an inning.

2. Throwing mechanics – turn the body so that the front shoulder points toward the target; keep the elbow above the shoulder; step toward the target with the non-throwing foot and release the ball.

3. Tracking – follow the ball with the eyes to the glove, whether on the ground or in the air; use 2 hands to catch and field; try to catch the ball out in front of the body.

4. Hitting – how to hold and swing the bat; batting safety (when not to swing bats, wearing helmets); hitting off a tee; hitting softly tossed pitches.

5. Learning positional play – If the ball is hit to your buddy let him/her field it; learn the positions and the area each player should cover.

Minors AA is a modified pitching division.  This is a program that builds upon the foundation that has already been set in T-Ball and Single A of learning the game of baseball.  The mission here is to continue the positive, organized, enjoyable, environment that promotes a love of the game while introducing some more advanced parts of the game.

During the season your child will have 5 main goals:

1. Learning the basic rules – force outs; tagging up; baserunning (when you don’t have to run; not running into or past your teammates on the basepaths); balls and strikes

2. Throwing mechanics – introduce the four-seam grip; point the front shoulder, step and throw; introduce the concept of generating momentum toward the target and following the throw.

3. Catching and fielding – thrown and hit balls; fingers up versus fingers down; see the glove and the ball; use two hands; forehands and backhands; introduce the underhand flip; first base fundamentals; crossover and drop steps.

4. Hitting – choosing the right bat; proper grip; hitting pitched balls; introduce drill work (tee, soft toss, short toss).

5. Learning positional play – Learn the positions and the area each player should cover; cover the nearest base when the ball is not hit to you; basics of cutoffs and relays.  Pitchers are allowed to throw up to 40 pitches and follow all Little League and in house rules regarding rest.  After a pitcher walks three hitters in one inning (combination of BB and HBP), the offensive team's coach comes in to pitch the remainder of the inning.  The following inning will revert back to kid pitch.  There is NO base stealing at this level.

It is our mission to create a positive, organized, enjoyable, environment that promotes a love of the game.  

Scores are not kept. When 5 runs are scored, or 3 outs are recorded the inning is over.  No standings are kept.

Players are placed in "positions" on the field and taught basic softball rules. The teams increase their instruction as the season progresses in preparation for the Minors Kid Pitch Division.

There is no base stealing at the Minors CP Level.

6. Basic Pitching – Each player will be given some basic pitching instructions. This will be more to prepare the players for the Minors Kid Pitch Division.

Players at this level should be able to field, catch, and throw the ball with accuracy across the field or from the outfield to the infield.

The players should know the positions, know the difference between safe and out, what constitutes an inning, the difference between a force and tag play. The players should know the difference between fair and foul balls. 

Minors Kid Pitch is just a step below Majors and is a "draft" level division.

A child should have experience in softball to play at the Minors KP Division.

All players are REQUIRED to complete a player assessment in January. Then, managers draft players to form teams. The draft is supervised by the division VP, Player Agent, and League President.

The standard nine baseball defensive positions are used. Players are taught advanced fundamentals of softball such that they are exposed to pitching techniques, playing positions, defensive pre-pitching preparedness, live batting and aggressive base running. We strive to prepare the entire team to pitch and catch in this division.

Players pitch and Little League substitution rules are applied for 9 batters in the lineup. The standard nine softball defensive positions are used and scores are kept.
