TEE BALL DIVISION

The Tee Ball division is designed for our youngest players, typically little league age 4 to 5 (Spring 2025: as of 8/31/25; Fall Ball 2025: as of 8/31/26) who are just beginning their baseball journey. Tee ball focuses on teaching the fundamentals of the game in a fun, supportive environment where no prior experience is required. Tee Ball emphasizes teamwork, basic skills, and the joy of playing baseball.

The Tee Ball division allows coaches to make limited group requests. Coaches' kids are automatically assigned to the team with their parent but group requests of up to five (5) players can be submitted if that group secures volunteer commitments for a head coach, an assistant coach, and one practice assistant, subject to the League guideline that limits the number of players from the same school to a maximum of three (3) and in the same grade at the same school to a maximum of two (2).

FARM DIVISIONS

The Farm division is designed for players little league age 6 to 8 (Spring 2025: as of 8/31/25; Fall Ball 2025: as of 8/31/26) and serves as a bridge between Tee Ball and kid-pitch divisions. We do not keep score in the Farm division, but we do introduce coach-pitch and the opportunity for players to advance their skill and improve their understanding of the game. There are 10 players per team and they bat around the order and play in the field each inning.

Farm division is divided into two levels based on experience:

Lower Farm is designed for younger players moving up from Tee Ball, including little league 6-year-olds and less experienced little league 7-year-olds, who are new to organized baseball. 

Upper Farm is for more experienced little league 7-year-olds and 8-year-olds who have some baseball experience but are not yet ready for the modified kid-pitch Rookie division.

Players in the Farm division focus on improving throwing, catching, fielding, hitting, and teamwork while gaining confidence in a fun supportive environment.

ROOKIE DIVISION

The Rookie division is designed for players little league age 8 to 9 (Spring 2025: as of 8/31/25; Fall Ball 2025: as of 8/31/26) and introduces players to modified kid-pitch baseball and more competitive play. In the Spring Season only, the Rookie division is the first year we keep score and host post season playoffs. The division focuses on building essential skills like hitting, pitching, and fielding, while introducing players to more structured gameplay and strategy.

Consideration may be extended to less experienced little league age 10-year-olds or exceptionally skilled little league 7-year-olds after participation in the skills evaluation session, recommendation by the Player Agent, and approval of the VP of Player Agents.

The Rookie division emphasizes skill development and teamwork in a supportive setting.

MINORS DIVISION

The Minors division is designed for players little league age 9 to 11 (Spring 2025: as of 8/31/25; Fall Ball 2025: as of 8/31/26) and introduces players to full time kid pitch and more competitive play. Minors focuses on refining basic techniques, improving teamwork, and preparing players for higher levels of competition. The Minors division offers a supportive environment that bridges the gap between introductory levels and the more advanced Majors division.

Minors division is divided into two levels based on experience:

AA Minors is designed for younger players moving up from Rookie, including little league 9-year-olds and less experienced little league 10-year-olds, who are new to organized baseball. 

AAA Minors is for more experienced little league 10-year-olds and 11-year-olds who have one year of Minors experience but are not yet ready for the Majors division.  Additionally, little league 11-year-olds may want to play in AAA because they haven’t hit that critical growth spurt or have friends who also choose AAA Minors.

In exceptional cases, a 12-year-old may play in AAA Minors with approval from the VP of Player Agents and the District Administrator, but they are not allowed to pitch. Similarly, a lesser-skilled or less experienced 11-year-old may play in AA Minors with the VP of Player Agents' approval.

Questions about the Minors divisions?  Contact Jason Morse & Matt Schneiderman, AA Minors Player Agents; or James Nash, AAA Minors Player Agents.

MAJORS DIVISION

The Majors division is designed for players little league age 11 and 12 (Spring 2025: as of 8/31/25; Fall Ball 2025: as of 8/31/26) who have developed strong foundational baseball skills and are ready for a higher level of competition. Majors focuses on advanced skills in hitting, pitching, fielding and base running, while introducing more complex game strategies. The emphasis is on skill refinement, teamwork, and sportsmanship, providing a well-rounded experience that prepares players for the Juniors division and beyond.

It is rare, but consideration may be extended to exceptionally skilled little league 10-year-olds after participation in the winter skills evaluation session (SES), recommendation by the Player Agent, and approval of the VP of Player Agents.

Girls Softball

SFLL Girls' Softball program is continuing to adapt in response to coach and player registration trends. Without a significant number of softball enrollments, most especially including players with parent/guardian coaching volunteers, we do not anticipate being able to field enough teams to offer a softball program in Fall 2025.  The SFLL front office will absolutely rise to the challenge of restarting SFLL softball with the right combination of enrollment and support from the SFLL community.

SFLL still wants to support all the softballers who want to play in San Francisco. We encourage you to continue your registration and (if we are still unable to field a softball program) we will help connect you with the SF Rec & Park softball program. We will not be not charging any registration fees for SFLL Softball at this time.

We also welcome and encourage all of our softball players to consider joining our gender-inclusive baseball program, contact us to learn more about how we support our softball players that move over to the SFLL baseball program.

For more information about the participation level of girls in baseball at each level, or about other opportunities to play softball in the SF area, please contact Newt Jordan, our softball Player Agent.
