Ages and Gender

• Our league comprises divisions for kids between the ages of 4 and 16.
  
  
• Each division has unique programs for boys and girls, other than Tee Ball, which is a co-ed division.
  
  
• Depending on skill set, players are eligible to move up to the next age group if they are within 1 year of the above group. This is called “dual rostering” by Little League International.
  
  
• We encourage those players with higher skill set to consider dual rostering to give them a real game feel of the next level.
  
  
• Safety is the main priority in all our divisions; therefore, any player moving up to the next age division must have the appropriate skill set to do so and be McLane Board approved.

Commitment

• Games are played twice a week during the weekdays Monday-Friday. When, where, and how often practices occur are at the discretion of each coach.
  
  
• While none of the events are required, attendance and participation are highly recommended as they help each player work on the skills of the game along with sportsmanship; team building; and overall respect for player, coaches, umpires and all involved.
  
  

Timing

• The league starts in February with our “open gym” workouts. While not mandatory, these are strongly encouraged as it is a great time to bring the children together to work on basic skills including throwing, pitching, hitting, and fielding.
  
  
• These gym times are also very beneficial for coaches and league officials to determine the number of teams needed for each division and allow for skills assessment when building teams for best competitiveness during the season.
  
  
• Games begin in May and run through June.
