| Age | This program is for kids aged 4-7. Participants must be 4 by May 1st of current season to be eligible. If your child will be 7 during this calendar year and has a strong understanding of the basics: throwing, hitting, catching (including ground balls and pop flys) it is suggested that they play Grand Slam to continue with their development. If you have questions about where your child should play, please reach out to Carman Minor Ball. |

Generally, the first division consists of 4 and 5 year olds and team size is kept small to maximize engagement and fun. The second division consists of 6 and 7 year olds with teams of 5 to 7 players to maximize development. The first half hour of practice is focused on skill development followed by a game. Each child bats every inning, there are no outs and runs are not counted. |
