Minor A Division is a player-pitch baseball division typically for players league age 9 to 10, sometimes 8 or 11, who have developed foundational skills and are ready for more competitive play. It is the next step after Minor B and serves as preparation for the Majors division.
Player-Pitch: Players pitch the entire game, giving them the opportunity to develop pitching, catching, and batting skills in a more realistic game environment.
Official Rules: Games are played using most standard Little League rules, including balls, strikes, walks, and stealing (with some limitations to encourage learning and safety).
Skill Development: Continued emphasis on refining baseball fundamentals—pitching mechanics, fielding techniques, game strategy, and teamwork.
Increased Competition: Games are more structured and competitive, but the focus remains on learning, sportsmanship, and player development.
Schedule: Typically includes 1-2 practices per week and 1–2 games, often including both weekday and weekend games.
Minor A is ideal for players who are ready for full baseball gameplay and want to continue improving their skills in a more advanced and challenging setting.
