Fall Ball registration is now open and if you're new to the league or unsure about which division your child should play, please check out the information below.
Fall Ball will follow Contra Costa camp guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of our players and volunteer coaches. We are also working on enhanced safety protocols which we will share before the season starts. While we can’t play games yet due to city and county protocol, if restrictions lift, we will certainly move into that. So for now Fall Ball will focus on practices, skill development, and of course fun with friends!
Remember, we are always in need of volunteers and welcome you to check out our Board of Directors page if you have a passion for baseball and desire to serve the San Ramon baseball community.
Can't wait to see your child on the field!
T-Ball: Age Group: 5U-7U - player's age on 8/31/20
- Description: Often, a family’s first introduction to baseball is in the Tee Ball program. The experience is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals.

Rookie: Age Group: 6U-8U - player's age on 8/31/20
- Description: For players with no or limited baseball experience. Pitching is done by coaches, while children continue to learn the game. No scores are kept but at this level outs are recorded with three ending each half inning. On defense each team will have ten (10) defensive positions.

A-Ball: Age Group: 7U-9U - player's age on 8/31/20

All players are required to attend Tryouts and teams are formed through a manager draft process supervised by the Division Coordinator, Player Agent and League President. The standard nine defensive positions are used and scores and standings are kept for the player pitch portion of the season. Players are taught advanced fundamentals of baseball such that they are exposed to pitching techniques, playing positions, defensive pre-pitch preparedness, live batting and aggressive base running.

AA Ball: Age Group: 8U-10U - player's age on 8/31/20.
- Description: The AA division is designed to be a transitional developmental division for the children. The AA tends to be a little less competitive than AAA or Majors, and several of the rules are altered to facilitate the development of the players and enhance the game day experience. This is a kid-pitch division with umpires calling balls and strikes. The AA focuses on developing pitchers and catchers as this is the first time these two positions become a critical part of the game.

- Time commitment: Two practice and two games per week.
AAA Ball: Age Group: 9U-11U - player's age on 8/31/20.
- Description: The AAA division provides a place for competitive play with a narrowed range of the player skill sets. AAA is designed to maximize fun and skills development for players who need more of a challenge than they would receive in the AA Division but who are not quite ready for the Majors. A player in AAA will have more opportunity for development at key positions versus the Majors. Every player will be required to participate in tryouts. Players will be assessed and a draft will be conducted to ensure that fair and balanced teams can be created.

- Time commitment: Two practice and two games per week.
Majors: Age Group: 11U-12U - player's age on 8/31/20.

This level has live pitching with professional umpires working the games. There are two practices and two games per week in this division. Players participating in Majors are eligible to be selected for post-season tournament play. This is the age group that plays in the Little League World Series.

The Intermediate Division of Little League was created so that more players have the opportunity to play additional baseball, but not just any baseball—Little League baseball! The division offers players league age 13 to expand their play and bridge a transition from the Majors 46/60 field dimensions to the new 50/70 fields and prepare them for going even further at the 60/90 fields.
The Junior League Baseball Division is a program for boys and girls ages 14, using a conventional 90-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 60 feet, 6 inches. Modified diamond dimensions may be used during the regular season.
