Players move up from Coach Pitch to a pitching machine. By controlling the pitches with a pitching machine, there is more action at the plate and in the field. Fear of being hit by a pitched ball is diminished. It makes the game safer and improves the playing confidence and ability of all participants. The Rookies division provides players with a better understanding and concept of the game. Basic skills are refined and stressed, kids generally play multiple positions. Scores are officially recorded.
