ROOKIE DIVISION

Rookie baseball is designed for those children aged 7-8, or in grades 1-2.  Littleton typically runs a Rookie Division program in each of the spring, summer, and fall seasons.

  • The purpose of Rookie League is to be instructional for the kids and provide the greatest opportunity for learning the game of baseball in a safe and enjoyable environment
  • We stress practice time over game play and even during games, continue with instruction over competition
    • Coaches from all teams should use every opportunity to explain, direct, correct, and support all players regardless of team (e.g. a first base coach for one team should help the 1st baseman with positioning and fielding mechanics)
    • Game play will be against other Littleton teams 
  • We ask that you commit to at least one weeknight practice and one game per week.  Games are typically on Saturdays and played at Shattuck Field.
  • The goal is to gradually introduce live pitching by kids throughout the course of the season, but will start with coach pitching
