AA 7U/8U: The focus of this league is to reinforce and/or introduce the fundamentals of baseball, in addition to introducing more advanced baseball concepts and competition in a friendly, fun environment. All games are coach pitch. A half-inning is completed after 3 outs or when a team scores 5 runs. A scoreboard is run for these games, a winner/loser is determined during each game, standings are posted throughout the season, and in the Spring the post season includes a playoff concluding with a league champion.
- Typically, each team has 12 players, allowing all players to play the infield and outfield, hit, and cheer.
- All players will play the infield at least one inning within first four innings of game.
- No player will sit on the bench for two innings until every player has sat at least one inning.
- Players are drafted onto teams aiming to group like-skilled players together, facilitating a better learning experience and safer playing environment (stronger players may hit or throw the ball extremely hard to a less skilled player, resulting in injury). Safety is paramount and we must try to avoid these situations.
