Rookie League
The Rookie League program is the first competitive league for children who have worked their way thru the various instructional leagues (T-Ball, Coach Pitch, Machine Pitch).  Kids are given their first opportunity to pitch.  We keep standings and award trophies for the top two regular season teams. Playoffs follow the regular season and the top two teams receive trophies for making it to the Rookie League Tournament Championship Game.

Players are selected via a draft.  Ten-year-olds not selected in the Minor League draft will play in the Rookie League.  Eligible ages are ten, nine, and selected eight-year-olds. Rookie League games are played on Thursdays and Saturdays.
