AA - Player/Coach Pitch - Little League Baseball - August through October
A player who is league-age 7 or 8 (use the Little League Age Calculator to determine your child’s League Age for the current year) for the current season.
At the Player/Coach Pitch level, the player pitches from 42' at the beginning of each at-bat. Player will pitch until they have thrown a fourth ball, and then a manager/coach pitcher will replace them for the at-bat for all innings. A safety ball will be used for Coach Pitch since this will be the first-time children will be pitching to other players versus hitting off of a tee or coach pitch.
Rosters average 9-11 players. Families should expect a season featuring one practice during the week, a game on the weekend, and alternating between a second practice or game during the weekday evenings. Some coaches may encourage additional practices beyond this.
Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this 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.
