Benefits of playing
Rules for playing
Organization of Players
Miracle Division (non-competitive) - Everyone hits, runs the bases, scores, games end in a tie
Advanced Skills Division (competitive) - We teach teamwork, sportsmanship, and some baseball rules and skills. Outs can happen (no strikeouts). Games can end in a win or a loss. Teams practice once a week. Although we keep score, the results don't matter and we don't keep standings.
Basic Differences between leagues:
Miracle Divisions
Everyone hits
Everyone scores
There are no outs
All games end in a tie
Players are in the field while other teams hit, but defense is not a priority
2 inning games (1 hour)
We have "Buddies" to help players
Coaches Pitch
Advanced Skills Divisions
We play with baseball rules so outs are recorded. Innings are either 3 outs or 5 runs scored.
4 inning games
Games can end in win, loss, or tie
We still don't have strike outs, but you can get out if the defense makes a play, catches the ball, tags you out, etc.
Players play defensive positions
