The Divisions, goals and seasons of play for each age group:
Please make sure you use the age your player will be 4/30/2010 as the age & division you register for!
Shetland, Ages 4/5/6. Play in the Spring season only- This level Focuses totally on instruction for beginning players. Coaches pitch and if the players don’t get a hit then they use a Batting tee.
