2010 Program Information

This is to be used as a guideline only - the placement of players is up to the League Director/Player
Agents as set forth by the Burlington Little League Board and Little League, Inc. Careful
consideration is given to the players skill level and more important the safety of the players in the
division.
T Ball Division (5-7 year old)
Uses a soft baseball. An instructional league with the main goal of developing basic skills, and to
ensure each player has a fun playing experience, encouraging players to continue to grow in the
game and personally.
Rookie Division (7-8 year old)
Uses a hard baseball & a pitching machine that pitches 36-40 mph. 7 year old players are
required to have one year experience in T Ball prior to entering this league. This allows players to
be encouraged, and predispositions them to have a more enjoyable experience.
Minor Division (8-11 year old)
Uses a hard baseball. Pitchers are introduced at this level as well as healthy competition. In order
to achieve this, when placing players at this level, more emphasis is given to ability, keeping
players from getting discouraged, and allowing for a much more positive experience.
Major Division (9-12 year old)
Uses a hard baseball. Players are drafted into this league to facilitate an even playing field. The
level of competition is higher, so to ensure the competition remains healthy, there are stricter
guidelines emphasizing ability as a prerequisite to entering prior to age 11. Playing time may be
limited for younger players.
Junior Division (13-14 year old)
Uses a hard baseball. Players are drafted into this league to facilitate an even playing field. This
league participates at the highest level of competition with emphasis on sportsmanship and
citizenship.
Senior Division (15-16 year old)
Uses a hard baseball. Players are drafted into this league to facilitate an even playing field. This
league participates at the highest level of competition with emphasis on sportsmanship and
citizenship.

Program Improvements
Communications Streamlined
Recognizing that there is an imperative need for effective communications, we are continuing to
improve our processes, and providing accurate, informative, and continuously updated
communications to our parents and players. Bottom-line: check the website and check it often!
Concessions improvements
The profits made from the concessions is one of the single most monetary contributions to the
little league program. It is crucial to the continuous improvement of the program. Without
volunteers to help run the concessions, it will not have a chance to be successful. We also
recognize the need for consistent leadership, organization, and quality customer service.
We cannot accomplish this without you! Your concession obligation time will be scheduled by
your Coach/Team Parent and will co-inside with the game schedule. Any special arrangements
will need to be made with your coach/team parent
