The Ripken level program (ages 4-12) is structured as follows:
T-Ball/Quick Ball – 4 year olds. For the first time players learning the basics of the game. This level stresses fun while using tees and soft, squishy balls to ensure safety. No scores or standings.
Junior Pony – 5 and 6 year olds. More introduction to the game of baseball and continuing to stress fun. Pitching machines are introduced along with more T-Ball. No scores or standings.
Senior Pony – 7 and 8 year olds. Pitching machines are used and player pitching is introduced. Scores may be kept by teams but there are no standings. There is a tournament at the end of the season.
Minors – 9 and 10 year olds. Player pitching on a 46/60 size field. Scores, standings, playoffs, and a league champion is crowned. Please note that generally only very advanced 8 year olds or grade level appropriate 8 year olds will be given permission to play up in Minors. The ability to play up is dependent on skill level and if roster space permits. The ultimate decision to allow a player to play up rests within the sole discretion of UAMBA.
