Rookie Plus Coach Pitch league focuses on skill development, fun and a sense of team in a semi-competitive environment, with volunteer coaches. Scores and standings will be kept. Our rules have been adjusted to ensure better parity and limit the ability of a team to “run up the score”. All rookie plus divisions will practice 1 hour per week and a game on Saturday. If needed, make-up games or tournament games may be played on Fridays.Grades: 3rd - 6th (ages 8-12)
