T-Ball 3-4 Year Old Division
Open to boys and girls | Ages 3-4
Specifically for our youngest players—3-4 years old only: one practice per week and one Saturday game. Practices and games are held at Grist Mill Park or our home field, McNaughton.
T-Ball Division
Open to boys and girls | Ages 4-7
The T-Ball Division is for beginning players who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding.
In T-Ball, players hit a ball off a batting tee; no live pitching is permitted in this division. Rules of the game are flexible to maximize the teaching of skills, teamwork, fundamentals, and the general rules of baseball. Woodlawn Little League uses a 50-foot field for the T-Ball Division.
T-Ball teams have rosters of around 7-9 players. All players are in the batting lineup and rotate through a variety of field positions each game to begin learning position-specific skills.
A typical season schedule includes one game (approximately one hour) every Saturday morning with one to two practices during the week (45 minutes to one hour). Practices and games are held at Grist Mill Park or our home field, McNaughton.
Minor and Major League Assessments
All Minor and Major Division players will attend an assessment to determine their placement within AA, AAA, or Majors.
Division placement prioritizes skill level and player development within age-appropriate parameters. This ensures competitive balance and maximizes each player's growth opportunity. Skills assessed include hitting, fielding, throwing, and base running.
Please note: Some divisions technically allow for relatively young players. After assessments, players are typically (but not always) placed as follows: AA: ages 7-9, AAA: ages 8-11, and Majors: ages 10-12.
