About MTLL

T-Ball – (Coed Division) Ages 4-5

T-Ball Baseball is for any player who want to learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding.

In T-Ball, players hit a ball off a batting tee. The primary goals of T-Ball are to instruct children in the fundamentals of baseball and to allow them to experience the value of teamwork. No live pitching is permitted in this division. There are no umpires, final scores, or standings for this division.

One game per week on Friday or Saturday; min 1 practice per week.


Minor C – (Machine Pitch) Ages 6-7

This division is for younger players with less experience.

Our Minor C Division is machine pitch program. At this level, players begin to hit a pitched ball.  Up to two coaches are on the field during games to encourage/instruct players. Players are taught game basics and prepare to play at a faster pace. There are no umpires, final scores, or standings for this division.

7 year-olds have the option of playing up into the Minor B division.
* Any 7 year-old that wishes to play up in the Minor B division must complete an in-person evaluation which will be schedule at the end of February. Minor B is a hybrid division with machine pitch and kid pitch. If you are 7 years old and do not wish to play up, then no evaluation is necessary.

Majors – (Player Pitch ) Ages 11-12

Theoretically, players in this league should have already mastered the basic skills necessary to play at this level and have a very good understanding of the game of baseball. Therefore, the primary mission of the Major League curriculum will be to leverage the skills of each player in a competitive environment while further developing each player’s skill set.
