Often, a family’s first introduction to Little League® is in the Tee Ball program. Tee Ball is the entry level division for players, ages 4-6.  (Please note for 2019, to be eligible for Tee Ball within Salem Little League, a child must be born in 2014 or earlier.  A child born 2015 or later would not be eligible.)  

The Tee Ball experience is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals while also being a key to growing a child’s love for the game. Each Little Leaguer is required to play one season of Tee Ball and be age 6 before being eligible to be evaluated by the local league officials for consideration to advance to a higher division of Little League baseball or softball. The Tee Ball Division is co-ed. 

Tee Ball players use bats and balls (balls are squeezable) designated specifically for use in this division.

The roster size for a Tee Ball team averages 7-12 players, with a season featuring a single game played on weekends.  Some coaches may schedule one practice per week, at their discretion.  

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in this entry 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.

Typically, this division is for children who are considered ages 6-8 per Little League age requirements.  (see Little League Age Baseball Age Chart).  

Higher skilled 8 year olds may move up to Minor Baseball, as determined by coaches at tryouts/evaluations or from previous year coaches' feedback.

Farm League is strongly recommended for those participants who have done 2 seasons of tee ball.  To be considered for Farm League at the youngest age, a player must be at least 6 years old and played one year of Tee-Ball.

The Coach Pitch/Farm baseball program introduces the child to hitting a pitched ball, versus hitting off of a tee.  As the season progresses, making fielding plays to get the runners out becomes a focus.  The kids get excited in June to make 3 outs as fast as they can, so they can go hit again!

Minor League Baseball programs for boys and girls are operated within each division for younger players with less experience. Minor Baseball is the first step in a division where players pitch in all games and games are officiated.  The minor league may be players ages 8-10 by Little League (see Little League Age Baseball Age Chart).  Some 8 year olds will stay in Farm/Coach pitch based on skill level, as to not overwhelm them.

Rosters may be composed of between 12 - 15 players, The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance is 46 feet. 

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.

10 year olds who have played a year in the minors already are eligible to be drafted into Major Baseball.  Managers make selections on who they want to select based on evaluations during tryouts and/or feedback from the player's previous coaches, and how many open roster spots remain after all 11 and 12 year olds are placed on a team.
