What Skills are Taught? Managers and coaches begin to teach the rules of the game, including the names of the positions, base running and the notion of ‘outs’. Players learn throwing and catching basics and how to safely swing the bat. All players bat off a batting tee, through the lineup, every inning.

How is the Game Played? Games last approximately 4 innings or about one and a half hours and are played one weeknight and/or Saturday.  A lot of parent support and participation is needed. Defensive teams typically have 2 adults in the outfield and offensive teams need 2 base coaches and one Tee helper to assist or coach the batter. All players play the field every inning. The league does not keep score or standings. Every player bats every inning.

Who is it for?  The AA Division is for 7-8 years old who want to continue to develop their baseball skills. Many players in AA played in the Single-A Division as a 6 year old. Players league age 7, with at least one season of SA may consider playing Double-A (AA). Kids pitch to each other must be Little League age 7 to pitch and to pitch to other players. Pitch counts are recorded and closely monitored for the pitcher’s safety.    

What Skills are Taught?  The major difference between AA and Single-A is that a kid pitches, instead of a machine. However, instead of walking on Ball-4, coaches will pitch the ball to the batter for an additional opportunity to hit the ball (first half the season only). From an instructional standpoint, a main objective of this division is to help players become more comfortable at the plate and improve their ability to hit the ball against live pitching. Key skills developed include being prepared to make a play defensively and situational awareness when fielding, being able to identify the strike zone, and demonstrating proper form when catching and throwing.

How is the Game Played?  In AA, a player is out after 3 swings and/or strikes. This helps build confidence, encourages the batter to wait for a good pitch before swinging the bat and speeds up the overall pace of the game. Coaches will play the players in a wide variety of positions they can play safely. An inning ends when the defensive team records 3 outs or a maximum 5 run limit is reached. Everyone sits the bench from time to time but will always hit in the lineup. League standings are kept and scores are recorded, introduce score keeping to volunteers. Parent support is needed for umpiring, field preparation, post-game field maintenance, as well as basic statistics during the game. Players are responsible to bring their own gloves and athletic cleats. Athletic cups are highly recommended for all players and are required for everyone playing catcher.
