Wiffle Ball (4 year olds)

Wiffle ball is focused on providing a fun introduction to baseball. Players will receive a jersey and hat and will participate in weekly events (games/practices) each Saturday.

Teams will have a short 30 minute practice before a 30-45 minute "game" on Saturdays. Games will likely be three innings, and each player will bat each inning. Outs will not be recorded, gloves are optional and not necessary, and parent participation in the field is highly encouraged.  If the team finishes early, additional innings can be played based on team interest.

We try our best to group players from the same school or friends together on teams. Friend requests can be submitted during registration.

T-Ball (5 year olds)

Players hit a ball off the tee. Most games are 4 innings, and each player will get to bat each inning. More rules can be found on the T-Ball rules page.

We try our best to group players from the same school or friends together on teams.  Friend requests can be submitted during registration.

In T-ball, there is usually one practice during the week and one game on Saturdays. Games are often played at the Upper Laurel campus field or the Encinal outfield.

Coach Pitch (6 year olds)

Games are often 4-innings long, and each player will get to bat each inning. In this division, coaches will gently pitch the ball to their players about 5 times. If the player doesn't make contact, the ball will be placed on a tee so the player can successfully hit the ball. More rules can be found on the Coach Pitch rules page.

In Coach Pitch, there is usually one practice during the week and one game on Saturdays. Games are often played at the Upper Laurel campus field or the Encinal outfield.

Machine Pitch (7-8 year olds)

Machine Pitch is a significant step-up from Coach Pitch in terms of game pace and competitive play.

During games, an umpire will feed balls into a pitching machine to the players.  If the player swings three times without hitting the ball, they will be called out, so this is a step closer to regular baseball although players can't walk or steal. More info is on the Machine Pitch rules page.

There is usually one practice during the week or on Sunday, with one game during the week on Tues, Wed, or Thursday around 5PM, and then another game on Saturday. Games are played at Encinal Field.

To keep teams balanced, teams are organized through a draft process.  Players must attend the Player Evaluation Day, and then the coaches and the board will facilitate a process to form teams.

While it can be disappointing for some players to not be with friends, it is a great way to meet other players and families in the league.

Minors (9-10 year olds)

Kids will start learning how to pitch, and there are other base running rules that increase the pace of the game like stealing and tagging up.  More info can be found on the Minors rules page.

There is usually one practice during the week or on Sundays, with one game during the week on Tues, Wed, or Thurs and another on Saturdays.  Games are played at the Homer Field at Willie Mays Ballpark, which is located inside Holbook Palmer Park.  This field was re-constructed in 2015 and features a grass infield, bullpens, and a outfield fence (Home Runs are possible)!

Teams are formed using a draft process, and players must attend Player Evaluation day so the coaches can use that info to help shape their teams.

Majors (11-12 year olds)

This is the top division that plays games with in the M-A program.

Overall, the bar for play is raised in this division and there are a lot more defensive plays as well as the excitement of more home runs!  More information can be found on the Majors rules page.

There is usually one practice during the week or on Sundays, with one game during the week on Tues, Wed, or Thurs and another on Saturdays. Games are played at Burgess Park.

District 52 Juniors (13-14 year olds)

The Juniors teams play other nearby Little League programs like Redwood City, Alpine, Palo Alto, San Mateo, etc, on the District level.

In this division, the players will play on fields that have the pitcher's mound set further back and also a longer distance between the bases.  Games are often played at the larger Burgess field (near the soccer fields), Nealon Park, or at the fields of other Little League programs.

Challenger

The Challenger division is focused on providing a fun baseball experience for athletes with disabilities. The age range for this division is wide - please contact the registrar at registrar@mabaseball.org for more details. There is no registration fee.
