5 Levels of Play to Choose


Tee Ball: The Tee Ball Division is required for all league age five year old players with placement in this division done by league age and teams organized by the Division Commissioner. It is an instructional division where players hit off a tee rather than hit a pitched ball using a soft, Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) ball for safety. No scores are kept, every offensive player bats each inning regardless of outs and no player sits on defense. Players are taught the basic fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and running the bases. All players in this division receive participation trophies.

 

Rookie: The Rookie Division is primarily for league age seven year old players. Teams are organized by the Division Commissioner. It is an instructional division where players hit live Reduced Injury Factor (RIF) balls pitched by their own coach from a short distance.  No scores are kept, every offensive player bats each inning regardless of outs and no player sits on defense. Players are taught the fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and running the bases. This division is intended to be a logical transition from tee ball to coach pitch play. As per Little League requirements, a league age 6 year old player can only participate in coach pitch if they played one full year of tee ball in an approved Little League program. All players in this division receive participation trophies.

Minors - A: The Minors-A Division is for primarily league age eight year old players. Teams are organized by the Division Commissioner. It is an instructional division where players hit regulation little league balls (protective cups are required) pitched by coaches for the first half of the season and then by players. At this level, outs are recorded with three ending each half inning. The standard nine defensive positions are used (meaning players rotate sitting) but no scores are kept. Players are taught the fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and running the bases. All players in this division receive participation trophies.

Minors - AA: The AA Division is the first “draft” level division and is for primarily league age nine and ten year old players with eight year old players being allowed to try-out (but with usually less than a dozen allowed by the Division Commissioner and Player Agent to be drafted into AA). This is also the first level where inter-league play (San Ramon National, San Ramon American) is possible depending on the agreement between leagues. All players are required to try-out and teams are formed through a manager draft process supervised by the Division Commissioner and Player Agent. Players pitch (inning restrictions apply) and all players in the line-up bat. The standard nine defensive positions are used and scores and standings are kept. Trained volunteer umpires enforce Little League Baseball and Local Board Adopted Rules. Players are taught advanced fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to pitching techniques, playing positions, defensive pre-pitch preparedness, live batting and aggressive base running. A post-season tournament will determine the champion for the division. The top 2 teams will receive trophies.

Minors - AAA: The AAA Division is for primarily league age ten and eleven year old players with some nine year old players traditionally drafted onto AAA Division teams as well. All players are required to try-out and teams are formed through a formal manager draft process supervised by the Division Commissioner and Player Agent. Players pitch (inning restrictions apply) and all players in the line-up bat. The standard nine baseball defensive positions are used and scores and standings are kept. Players are taught advanced fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to pitching techniques, playing positions, defensive pre-pitch preparedness, live batting and aggressive base running. Trained volunteer umpires enforce Little League Baseball and Local Board Adopted Rules. A post-season tournament will determine the champion for the division. The top 2 teams will receive trophies.

Majors: The Majors Division represents the first level of competitive play and is generally oriented for experienced players who are eleven and twelve years old. Occasionally some ten year olds are drafted into the Major Division. Returning Majors players playing for their same team do not need to try out. All other players are required to try-out and teams are formed through a formal manager draft process supervised by the Division Commissioner and Player Agent. This level focuses on more advanced skills and fundamentals. Pitching speeds are considerably faster (45-60mph) and balls are hit harder. Overall pace of the game is much faster as well with less walks. Trained volunteer umpires enforce Little League Baseball and Local Board Adopted Rules. A post-season tournament will determine the champion for the division. The top 2 teams will receive trophies. From the Major division, CCLL will send a team to the District 57 Tournament of Champions (TOC). A Major Division twelve year old All Star Team will be selected from to represent CCLL in Tournament play ending in the Little League World Series.


 
Juniors Little League Baseball
by posted 10/02/2008

R E G I S T R A T I O N   N O W   O P E N  !

Juniors Little League Baseball is not very well known to the 12-and-under Little League crowd, but the program has grown tremendously in the past several years, becoming a huge success in San Ramon and throughout the Tri-Valley area!  After Majors, 13-year olds graduate from the 60-foot diamond and move up to Juniors, where they get to play “real baseball” with 14-year olds on either an 80-foot or 90-foot diamond.  Teams are formed in combination with San Ramon Little League and games are played throughout the entire District 57, with competition not only from other San Ramon teams, but also expanding to include all leagues in the Tri-Valley area.
 
3 Levels of Play to Choose
Juniors Little League is for players of all skill levels.  Many have the mis-conception that Juniors is more difficult and only for the more-skilled players.  To the contrary, the Juniors program offers multiple levels of play – recreational, competitive, and travel ball – and most players ultimately discover that it is the most fun level of Little League!!  There are 3 levels of play in Juniors:  Junior 80, Junior 90, and Junior GOLD.
 
Junior 80 -- for players looking to make an easier transition from the 60-foot Majors Little League diamond to the full-sized 90-foot diamond (These teams are mostly comprised of 13-year olds.)
 
Junior 90 -- for players ready for competition on the full-sized 90-foot diamond (These are comprised mostly of 14-year olds, but 13-year olds are also eligible and may get drafted to these teams.)

Junior GOLD -- for higher skilled players who want to play a lot of baseball in a highly competitive level of play equal to Pony and Babe Ruth (at times, even playing against them)
Full Little League Season of Baseball

The Junior 80 and Junior 90 programs offer a 20- to 25-game season, plus post-season playoffs, competing against teams throughout all of Little League’s District 57 – San Ramon, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore.  The Junior GOLD program offers a 40- to 50-game season with some traveling required, both throughout District 57 and beyond.
 
REAL Baseball!
In Juniors, players get to lead-off bases, wear metal cleats, and finally incorporate all the rules of the game that were not available to them in Majors, such as balks and dropped third strikes.  Tryouts are conducted to ensure teams are evenly matched and competitive.
