Machine Pitch (or Mini's) is part of the Minor League Baseball program for boys and girls.  The machine-pitch division is for kids ages 6-8 years old (1st or 2nd grade), with the option of a 5 year old as long as they have completed one year of Tee Ball.  

Machine Pitch is the first division to utilize a player in the catcher's position.  (All male catcher's must wear a cup). At this level, kids will work on batting, fielding, and base running. 

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this introduction level of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.
