Ages 4-6: Players who are league age 4-6 and have not played organized baseball should start with Tee Ball. This is the entry-level into organized baseball for most children. It's entirely instructional and done in an encouraging and nurturing setting. Players will be taught the basics of the game: how to hit, run the bases, catch, throw, and work as a team. Every child bats and plays the field every inning. Teams switch after the full lineup hits. Players hit and run to first base only and do not leave the base even if an out is made. The defense works to try to make an 'out'. Game times are limited to 1 hour, generally enough for two or three innings, depending on the number of kids present.

Ages 5-6: Players who are league age 5 or 6 that have participated for at least one spring or fall season in the Tee Ball Division are eligible to play Coach Pitch. A step up from Tee Ball, players will be given up to four pitches from the coach, and if unsuccessful, will hit off the tee. If a batter or runner is 'out', they will leave the field as in normal baseball. Scores are not kept and there are no standings. Games are limited to 1 hour. This level continues to build upon the foundation laid in Tee Ball. Everyone plays defense and the full lineup bats each inning.

Ages 6-7: For 6-year-olds and 7-year-olds who are not yet ready for AA. This level becomes more like real baseball. Players will get four pitches from the player pitcher, after which the coach will complete the at-bat with up to three additional pitches if the player has not struck out or put the ball into play. Teams switch sides after three outs or five runs have scored. Batters and runners may advance more than one base on hits to the outfield, but there is no advancing on overthrows or stealing. The catcher position is introduced at this level, and the infield is limited to the standard infield positions. All players play on defense, so teams may have more than three outfielders playing. Games are limited to 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Ages 7-8 : Full kid pitch that follows Little League pitch limit guidelines. Catchers play a bigger role. Umpires are introduced to call balls and strikes and officiate the game. The batting order is the complete roster, but only nine players may be in the field at a time on defense. Players are guaranteed play according to Little League rules. All extra base hits are allowed. Players may steal 2nd or 3rd base once the pitch has crossed the plate, and players may advance to 2nd and 3rd base on a passed ball or overthrow, but 3rd base is locked—no advancing home via steal, passed ball pitch, but must remain at third base until either forced in on a walk, or by a ball hit into play. A team's turn at bat is over when five runs have scored or three outs have been made until the fourth inning, when there is no run limit. No new innings will begin after 1 hour and 15 minutes of play, and games are stopped (drop dead) at 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Ages 9-10 : Similar to Double-A, except at an older, more advanced level. Third base is no longer locked, and the run limit is five runs for the first three innings. No new innings will begin after 1 hour and 30 minutes of play, and games are stopped (drop dead) at 1 hour 45 minutes.

This is the level of baseball played at the Little League World Series seen on TV. The local league board of directors may restrict this division to players who are league age 10-12 or 11-12. No new innings will begin after 1 hour 45 minutes of play.

Lead-offs, pick-offs, and full stealing are allowed. The pitching distance is 50 feet, and the bases are 70 feet apart. Games are seven innings with a minimum of five innings within a possible time limit and can be more than two hours in length.
