"AA" is designed primarily for players league age 9 - 3rd grade - but also 8 year olds who have successfully demonstrated "A-level" skills, as determined by their coach, and are ready to begin pitching and hitting live pitching. This is the first level of “kid pitch” play.
Teams are created through a draft process and player assessment workouts are conducted. Participating in a player assessment is highly recommended, but not required. New teams are drafted each year with an emphasis on skill parity among the teams.
Scores and standings are kept culminating with a league championship tournament. Games are umpired by volunteer umpires.
In the pre-season there are two practices per week. During the season there is one practice during the week and two games (weeknight and Saturday) per week. Approximately 15-20 games.
Practices and games are typically at Gilman Playground.
Complete game playing attire (baseball pants, socks and belt) are required. Players receive a team t-shirt and cap to keep and are required to wear cleats and have a glove. Boys must wear an athletic cup.
Player assessments are conducted in early February. Practices will start in late March/early April and games will continue until early June.
