How do I know what Division is best for my child?
Divisions are based on age and some ages may have the option to choose between two levels. Here is a breakdown of what the average player can do at each age level:
- A (Tee Ball) – Brand new to baseball, has never played.
- AA (Coach Pitch) – Has at least one year of tee ball experience or is of AA age playing for the first time. Still beginner baseball.
- AAA-American (Intro to Player Pitch) – Players should be getting pretty good at playing catch. Can accurately throw and catch 40’ approximately 75% of the time. Can consistently put the bat on the ball during coach pitch.
- AAA-National (Advanced Player Pitch) – Players have played at least one year of AAA-American. They should be able to accurately throw 40’ approximately 90% of the time and accurately throw 65’ approximately 75% of the time. Should rarely drop a ball that is accurately thrown to them.
- Majors – Competitive Little League baseball. This is the division and rules that you see in the Little League World Series.
- Intermediate 50/70 – Full baseball rules including leading off. 70 base paths and 50 foot pitching distance.
- Juniors - Full baseball rules including leading off for players ages 13 to 14 years old. Conventional 90 foot diamond and pitching distance of 60 foot, 6 inches.
- Seniors – Full baseball rules including leading off for players ages 15 to 16 years old. Conventional 90 foot diamond and pitching distance of 60 foot, 6 inches.
Who do I speak with if I think my child needs to play in a different division than his age allows?
You need to contact the ATLL Player Agent at [email protected]. The Player Agent will review all available data and attending an evaluation session in January will most likely be required.
Can girls play ATLL baseball?
YES! All divisions are coed.
Can my child play on a team with his friends?
Yes! ATLL allows each player to request up to three friends whom they would like to have on their team. In many cases all three requests can be granted. Depending on team size and balance and the other child’s requests, you may only get one or two friend requests granted. If you only request one other child or if you only request the children of a manager or assistant coaches then your chances of getting your friend request will be lower. It is recommended that you confirm with those other kids what division they plan to play prior to registration. Changes are not made once the teams have been set.
Can I request a manager?
Yes; however, it is not guaranteed
As a Manager, can I request what players are on my team?
No, you may not request specific players be placed on your team; however, as the manager you are guaranteed that your children will be placed on your team and you may name up to three Assistant Coaches whose children will also be placed on your team.
How many games and practices each week in each division?
- A (Tee Ball) – Saturday Only. 1 hour practice followed by a 1 hour game.

When does the season start and end?
Practices start around the beginning of April with games starting mid-April. The season ends in late June.
Where are games and practices played?
One of the BEST things about ATLL is that all practices and games are played in and around Anderson Township. ATLL uses the elementary school fields for the younger divisions and the Anderson Park District fields for the older divisions starting at AAA-American. Don’t drive all over the city when you can get good, competitive baseball right here in your backyard! Intermediate, Junior, and Senior teams will travel to play other local Little League teams such as Loveland, Mason, and Lebanon.
Do you keep score and standings?
Starting at the AAA-American level, games are scored and recorded. Game results and season standings can be tracked on our website.
Is there a tournament at the end of the season?
Yes, there is a season ending tournament in late June for all AAA-American, AAA-National, and Majors divisions. Championship Saturday is the final day of the season with the Championship games all taking place at Marty Brennaman Field at Julifs Park.
