Transitional league from T-ball that provides instruction in positions, rules, and game play with minimal emphasis on competition. Players ages 6 through 8 (as of April 30th of the current year) will play in the Rookie League. Games are six innings, and are played with one inning of kid pitch, followed by five innings of coach pitch. The mix of kid pitch and coach pitch are designed to prepare the players an opportunity to hit live pitching while also allowing them a limited exposure to pitch to real batters. This will help prepare them for the next level.
