All teams play other West Bradford teams along with traveling to play nearby District 28 teams.
Rookies Division:
Generally 7 - 8 years old (some 6 year olds who have excelled in T-Ball the previous year move to Rookies), players will learn the fundamentals of team play on a full-size diamond using a smaller 11” softball. Coaches pitch to batters until later in the season when some player pitch is introduced. There is no stealing. Games are 6 innings with a 5 run maximum per inning, to keep the game moving, and a 2-hour time limit on the game itself. Although a win or loss is generally known, official score is not kept so that the environment is non-competitive. Rookies will generally play one Saturday game and one weeknight practice or game.
Minors Division:
Generally 9 - 10 years old (individual skill level determines if an 8 year old or 11 year old is eligible for Minors), players will bat against player pitchers using an 11” ball with coaches assisting to minimize walks. Limited base stealing and walks in the first half of the season are followed by full base stealing in the second half. Games are 6 innings with a 2-hour time limit. Minors will generally play one Saturday game and one or two weeknight practices or games. The season usually ends with a District 28 tournament.
Majors Division:
Generally 11 - 12 years old (individual skill level determines if a 10 year old is eligible for Majors), players play with a 12” ball and unrestricted rules. Games are 6 innings with a 2-hour time limit. Majors will generally play one Saturday game and one or two weeknight practices or games. The season usually ends with a District 28 tournament.
