The 2024 Fall Ball "A" division is for 2025 Little League age 7-8 year olds (birthdates between Sept 1, 2016 and August 31, 2018). This division is “full distance machine pitch” to start for players with at least 1 year of Farm experience. It will include more advanced baseball defensive rules (Catcher development).
Players should be able to (as an example): routinely catch balls from a distance, exhibit the “big 3” skills of catching (receiving, blocking, throwing) understand the concept of backing up defensive positions, know when to advance on the bases, track fly balls and be able to display consistent batting stance and pitch recognition.
