Growing up fast and soaking up life and baseball (later on in Little League, many see that line vanish as life BECOMES baseball!) the time has finally come to make the move off the fields and onto a diamond.. a diamond with DUGOUTS! Aged 8-10, our Little Leaguers have developed in leaps and bounds in their short careers and the Rookie division is set up so they can polish their skills before making the final step in baseball… pitching! Pitching is introduced to Rookies in practice; however they will continue to use the pitching machine during games.
Playing at West Mackin, teams make a change from a set 2 day schedule to a varying schedule that includes league practice/clinics and some weekend games! With emphasis on development including base running, hitting, fielding and the newest challenge, pitching but most importantly SPORTSMANSHIP and FAIR PLAY rule the diamond. Depending on registration numbers, this division is usually split up into 6 teams that play each other throughout the season, and also includes the annual Rookie League Classic!
The 2010 Rookie schedule has been released! The schedule is for games only, practice times will come from your coaches. You can look forward to a 14 game regular season schedule in 2010, as well as the annual Rookie Tournament at the Yard!
