The Minor League Baseball division at Milwood is for children between age 7-8. No previous experience is required. This division is typically "machine pitch" but coaches may choose to pitch to players themselves as well. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance (machine) is 46 feet.
Some players age 6 may play up to the Minor division from t-ball. Similarly, an 8 year old can play up to the Little Majors division if they have experience and the necessary skill required to ensure safety. These decisions are all made by the league's Player Agent and may require a player evaluation.
Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this introduction level of Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.
