Little League Teams
For
Practice or Game Schedules, go to the respective division page.
Truckee
Little League has five divisions:
|
| Tee
Ball |
Tee
ball is typically for players aged 5 and 6. Players
hit from a tee, all players take the field each inning, and
all players bat each inning. The primary goal of T-ball
are to have fun, to instruct children in the fundamentals
of baseball, and to allow them to experience the value of
teamwork.

AA Farm |
AA
Farm is typically for 7 year olds and 6 year olds that have
a year of Tee Ball experience and are ready to hit a pitched
ball. The Farm Division uses coach pitch and a pitching
machine to pitch to the players. Nine players take the
field and all players are in the batting rotation, though
an inning is over at 3 outs. The goal of Farm is to
have a good time and prepare them for AAA Farm. AA Farm
is non-competetive.

AAA Farm |
AAA
Farm is typically for 8 year olds. AAA Farm will start
with a pitching machine and then have some player pitching
in the second half of the season. Nine players take
the field and all players are in the batting rotation, though
an inning is over at 3 outs. The goal of Farm is to
have a good time while making the game a little more exiting.
Additional goals include preparing pitchers and hitters for
the Minor Division. The first half of the season will
be non-competitive, and the second will be competitive.
|
|
| Minors |
Minors is typically for players aged 9 and 10. Minors
is like traditional baseball in that players pitch, 9 players
take the field, but all players at the game makeup the batting
lineup. The goal of Minors is to prepare children for
eventual selection to a Major division team and have fun doing
it.
|
|
| Majors |
Majors
is typically for players aged 11 and 12. Majors is also
like traditional baseball and players have a chance to play
in postseason tournaments.

13 to 15 may participate in Babe Ruth where they will play
teams from out of the area including North Tahoe and Reno.
