Green Tree Athletic Association - Instructional Boys League

This is a big step up from T-Ball  as this division sees players improve greatly in defensive skills, positional play, and hitting. A real baseball is used at this level, and pitching is still coach pitched.  The ball gets hit a lot in this group, and generally deeper and faster than at earlier levels.   This is the first division where scores are kept and where baseball rules regarding strikes, outs, innings, etc. are generally followed as much as possible.  

Participants are supplied with a colourful, numbered T-shirt style jersey, a ball cap, (all of which they keep). Players need to supply cleats, a ball glove, baseball pants (ask coach for color)  and a batting helmet with an athletic protector (If preferred to have your own.) GAA will supply batting helmets for practices and games.  

This is the division for all players that are Little League age 7 and 8(age as at April 30, 2017). 

Green Tree Athletic Association Rookie League T-Ball

Great games designed for our youngest players. The children are introduced to baseball and taught the fundamentals of throwing, catching, fielding and hitting in a very safe and fun environment. Typically a season will begin with lots of repetitions hitting and lots of running. As the players develop, T-Ball becomes the game played throughout most of the season. The game is played with a softer ball, and generally we see a great amount of parent participation during the games. Some coaches like to mix in a little “coach-pitch” at times near mid-June. Participants are supplied with a colorful, T-shirt style jersey and a ball cap (both of which they keep). Parents must supply kids with a ball glove, cleats and a batting helmet, if you prefer your own.  (GAA will supply batting helmets for practices and game.)  

This is the division for all players that are Little League age 5 and 6 (age as at April 30, 2017).
