MINORS

Grade 3 & 4  (Divisions Age Chart)

This Division is composed primarily for 8-9 year olds.  Minors focuses on further developing players skills both offensively and defensively. The introduction of player pitching begins at this level and the continuing progression, as we add player pitching, stealing bases, and nine defensive players in the field. Between games and practices, players can expect to play ball twice a week (and 3 times per week on occasion).  Scores are kept, standings maintained and there are playoffs.

All players wishing to play Minors are required to attend KLL pre-season assessments. Coaches draft players onto teams based on pre-season assessment scores; consequently there are no friendship requests guaranteed. Teams will be balanced based on player ability and age, and each team will have 11-12 players.

Players should remain in this Division for at least 2 years for development reasons. In this Division, players who are recommended by their coach may have the opportunity to be called up to play Majors games, if the Majors game does not conflict with the player’s own Minros team game.

Every player will receive a T-shirt, individualized participation trophy, and a professional team photo during the season.
