General Information

Rookie ball is for 7-9 year olds. Rookie division is a more competitive league, as the concept of three outs per inning is introduced. All players remain in the batting lineup, but may not all get to hit each inning.

The instructor or coach still acts as the pitcher using a cushioned ball which is thrown underhand. A greater emphasis is placed on making "outs" at this level.

Teams are usually 11 to 12 players to keep an adequate number of players in the field for each game. The players meet at the ballpark twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Games are played for one hour and 15 minutes.
