“AA” Division - Rules 2009
The AA Division is designed as an instructional and learning experience for its participants. Specifically, we want to enhance the participant’s baseball skills and help them to develop a love for the game of baseball. It is imperative that this concept be ever present in the minds of all associated with the league, from the players to the parents. There will be no playoffs or standings kept. Do NOT emphasize game scores or wins and losses. It is inherent to our program that each manager insures that all of his players and supporters demonstrate appropriate sportsmanlike conduct at all times during the course of the season. Make sure kids enjoy coming to games and practices.  Stress good sportsmanship.
