The Little Major Baseball division at Milwood is for children ages 9-10. No previous experience is required. This division is known as "kid pitch" in which players pitch. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance (machine) is 46 feet.
Some players age 8 may play up to the Little Major division from the Minor division. Similarly, a 10 year old can play up to the 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.
A Tournament Team (or “All Stars”) may be selected from this division, and the team may enter the International Tournament. The culmination of the International Tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the world. All expenses for the teams advancing to the World Series (travel, meals and housing) are paid by Little League International.
Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in 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.
