The AA division emphasizes fun and participation. It is not competitive and the goal is to get kids hooked on the sport and to return the following season.
Coaches use Jugs Jr. Baseball Pitching Machines to pitch to players in AA. If the player doesn’t make contact after a few pitches, the coach has the option to hand pitch a few to the player. Strike outs do occur but a far and few between.

Players ages 7-8 on August 31 of the season year. See the Little League Age Chart for more information.

Players must live or attend school within the geographic boundaries defined for MLL.

TEAM CONSTRUCTION
Small team sizes to make sure that all players get a lot of action.
Friend and coach requests are accepted during the registration process.
**Friend requests will take priority over coach requests and while every effort is made to satisfy all friend requests, we can’t guarantee every one will be met.**
EQUIPMENT
MLL provides: belt, socks, jersey, and ball cap - player keeps these four items; bats, balls, helmets, and catching gear.

Some parents choose to purchase a helmet or bat for their player which is fine. You will want to make sure the helmet meets the NOCSAE standard and that the bat meets the new Little League sanctioned bat standard.
