LEVEL OF PLAY: HRCLL offers a Tee Ball division for players of league age 5-6. We will make exceptions for 4 year olds if they will turn 5 before the season is over (June 30th).  The division is designed to provide a foundation and introduction to baseball and softball that is grounded in fundamentals, fitness, teamwork, and most importantly, having fun.  Most players cannot catch or accurately throw the ball in this division. Again, it is about socialization and learning the very basics of the game.

COMMITMENT: Tee Ball teams have one 1hr practice on a weeknight. Coaches will choose one practice slot from 4-5, 5-6, or 6-7 M-F.  Practices will be either at Fernwood, Rose City Park, or Roseway Heights. Practice times, days and locations are chosen by the Head Coach. Tee Ball teams have one 1hr game on a Saturday. Game start at 9am, 10:30am, 12pm, 1:30pm, and 3pm. Times change from week to week. Games are played at Fernwood, Rose City Park, and Roseway Heights.

LEVEL OF PLAY: This subdivision of farm baseball is for players league age 6-7 and will mostly consist of mostly 1st Graders. It is recommended that a league age 6 year old play one year of Tee Ball before moving up to this division. This division is for that player who is still learning to accurately throw and catch the ball. Most players in this division can hit the ball with some consistency.  It is less competitive than Double A.  This division is Coach Pitch only.

COMMITMENT: Single A teams have one 1hr practice on a weeknight. Coaches will choose one practice slot from 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, or 7-8 usually on a M,W, or F.  Practices will be either at Roseway Heights, Glenhaven or Normandale. Practice times, days and locations are chosen by the Head Coach. Single A teams have one 1.5hr game on a either a Tu or Th night (6-7:30pm) and one 1.5 hr game on Saturday.

LEVEL OF PLAY: This subdivision of farm baseball is for players 7-8 years of age. Majority of players are in 2nd grade. This division is for the player who wants a more competitive experience. The player should have a good grasp of how to put a player out. They should be able to accurately throw the ball most of the time. They should be able to get the glove up and in position as the ball is thrown to them.  They should also feel comfortable being in the batter’s box and facing live pitching from a coach. This level will start to introduce player pitching.  Coaches pitch the first 2 innings and kids pitch the last 2-4innings. 9 year olds who want to remain in Double A must register for Minors and will then need approval from league to play down.

COMMITMENT: Double A teams have one 1hr practice on a weeknight. Coaches will choose one practice slot from 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, or 7-8 usually on a Tu,Th, or F.  Practices will be either at Roseway Heights, Glenhaven, or Normandale.

LEVEL OF PLAY: This division is for players ages 8-10 (mostly 3rd and 4th graders, and mostly 9-10) who are ready for a faster paced game that includes live pitching from players, stealing, and bunting.  Players should feel comfortable attempting to catch the ball. They should be able to throw accurately most of the time. They do not necessarily need to be able to make the throw on a line from 3rd to 1st. They should also feel comfortable attempting to catch a fly ball. They should feel comfortable in the batters box and have a good grasp of what is a ball and what is a strike. The players should all understand how to make outs.

LEVELS OF PLAY: This division is for players ages 10-12 (mostly 5th and 6th graders and mostly 11-12). Players in this division should have spent at least one productive season in minors before considering this level. This is a much faster paced level than minors. The pitching is more refined with many throwers able to deliver off-speed and breaking pitches in addition to locating their fastball. Hitters should feel very comfortable seeing the ball out of the pitchers hand and be able to make contact most of the time.
