Kent Little League Baseball Divisions

Kent Little League offers a wide range of divisions, beginning with Tee Ball for players as young as 4 years old and continuing through competitive baseball for players up to age 14. Players are assigned to teams with an emphasis on safety, skill development, and positive sportsmanship.

Required Equipment: Players must provide their own mitt, cleats, baseball pants (style determined by the team manager), and a protective cup. A personal batting helmet and bat are recommended.

Tee Ball, Ages 4-6 (Co-Ed)

In Tee Ball, players hit a modified ball off a batting tee. Rules may be adjusted as needed to support instruction and skill development at this level. The primary goals of Tee Ball are to teach the fundamental skills of baseball and to promote teamwork. Rosters typically consist of 9–11 players. Kid pitching is not permitted in this division.

Required Equipment: Bats must be marketed and labeled as USA Tee Ball approved.

Minors A Baseball, Ages 6-7

This division utilizes machine pitch and serves as a transition from Tee Ball. Players hit from a pitching machine or coach. This is the first division in which live defensive play occurs, with pitching delivered from approximately 40 feet. The most common ages for this division are 6 and 7.

Minors AA Baseball, Ages 8-9

This division introduces player pitch, umpires, and scorekeeping, with wins and losses officially recorded. Evaluations may be conducted to assist in team formation. Team requests are not permitted, and teams are formed with the goal of maintaining competitive balance.

Minors AAA Baseball, Ages 10-11

This division is designed for players with league ages 10–11 and builds upon the AA division. Teams are formed based on player evaluations with the goal of creating balanced teams. Team requests are not permitted.

Majors Baseball, Ages 11-12

The Competitive Division consists of teams formed through a player draft. Players must attend tryouts/evaluations to be eligible for the draft. Any player not selected in the draft will be placed in the appropriate division.

12-year-olds who do not wish to participate in the Competitive Division may request a waiver to play down in AAA. Players granted a waiver to AAA will be ineligible to pitch in the Minors division.
