Most of our 7-8 year olds play in our AA division...
Our divisions are designed as follows...
5-6 = A (coach pitch or Tee)
9-10 = AAA (player pitch)
11-12 = Majors (player pitch)
In AA..
1. The players pitch, counting walks, until the bases are loaded.
2. Once the bases are loaded if the pitcher reaches 4-balls on a batter, the hitting team coach comes in and pitches to the batter until she hits the ball in play of strikes out....but she must strike out swinging.
3. The hitting team finishes their at-bats once 3 out are recorded, or 5 runs come across the plate.
Most leagues have a web site with their by-laws posted. The by-laws will tell you the rules and structure of each division. You could start your search with some little leagues around your area to see what negihboring towns do.
