Intermediate
Rookie is for children who are league age 8.
In Rookies, children receive additional instruction on the fundamentals of baseball – hitting, throwing, catching, running, and fielding – emphasizing playing positions in the field and good sportsmanship during game play. Players begin pitching in Rookie Minors, with the coach coming to pitch after 3 balls, and there are no walks – only hits or outs. Rookie Minor games consist of 4 innings (maximum 1.5 hours long) with 9 defensive players in the field every inning.
During a game, each team will have 3 outs or a maximum of 3 runs per at-bat per inning. Rookie Minors is suitable for both aspiring baseball and softball players. If appropriate, 8-year-old Junior Rookie players who demonstrate the required level of skill and maturity may be assessed for Minors baseball or U9 softball
Playing up to Minors

At the conclusion of the regular season in mid June, there are tryouts for a tournament team which plays in the District 7 (city-wide) Championships during the first week of July. The winner moves on to Provincials!
