Minor Baseball

Ages 9 & 11

Woburn Little League's third level of baseball is the Minors Division. Similar to other divisions, coaching instruction is provided by parent volunteers. At this level, coaches continue teaching basic baseball fundamentals and teamwork.

TEAM ASSIGNMENT

Minors Baseball is an 9-11 year-old ability based division. Players will be required to attend a tryout in late winter/early spring & will be evaluated by the league and assigned managers. Players are then drafted by Managers with a goal of creating balanced teams. Players receive a uniform shirt & hat.

SEASON OVERVIEW

The spring season commences with the Woburn Little League Opening Day parade. All players are encouraged to march in the parade with their team. Teams will play at least 2-3 games a week with league assigned unpatched junior umpires. Games are played on standard sixty foot base paths (standard little league dimensions) with virtually all standard baseball rules adhered to with some limitations.

Teams bat in a continuous order, batting until three outs.
Players will pitch to other teams with pitching limitations (according to Little League rules by age)

At the end of the year the team with the best record will be crowned regular season champion, each team will qualify for the playoffs with one team being crowned champion

GAMES/PRACTICES

Each game should last 90-120 minutes. Teams will play at least 2-3 games a week with league assigned unpatched junior umpires. Coaches may add additional practices at their discretion. Games and practices are held primarily at Leland Park, and Weafer Park using 60-foot base paths (standard Little League dimensions).

Batters hit player-pitch (with swinging strikeouts) with virtually all standard baseball rules adhered to with some limitations.

After the game, players line up at home plate and shake hands with their opponents. Sportsmanship is extremely important and is a continued focus at this level.
