AA Baseball

AA Baseball is the first division after Tee Ball. It is for players League Age 7 and 8.

The AA Division starts as coach pitch, and players begin pitching during the season. It focuses on teaching players to hit and field.

AA games are played on weeknights and weekends. Weeknight games start at 5:30 PM.

There are generally two AA Baseball games per week.

Younger players should sign up for Tee Ball in the Falmouth Little League Baseball program.

AA Baseball Rules

Falmouth rules: game play

Coaches pitch to their own team, except as listed under player pitch. There are no walks.
Every player plays in the field.

A batter or runner who is put out goes back to the bench. After 3 outs in an inning, the bases are cleared, and the rest of the lineup still bats.

No leading off or stealing.

Falmouth rules: player pitch

Games 1 to 4: coaches pitch.
Games 5 to 7: players pitch in 1 or 2 innings of each game. From game 8 on, a player starts every at bat.
A player pitches no more than 1 inning a game. After 4 balls or a hit batter, the batter's coach pitches.
Before a game, the 2 head coaches may agree to use less player pitching.

Falmouth rules: positions

Coaches rotate every player through infield and outfield positions as evenly as possible over the season, except catcher.
