The Farm Division is an instructional level of baseball designed to serve as a bridge between the introductory Rookie (Single-A) level and the more competitive kid-pitch Minor divisions. This division focuses on transitioning players toward a more standard game format while maintaining a strong emphasis on skill development.
Division Overview
Primary Focus: Advancing fundamental skills, improving understanding of game rules, and introducing more complex defensive play.
Format: Typically features a mix of Coach-Pitch or the use of a Pitching Machine to ensure consistent strikes and active play.
Age Group: Generally serves players ages 6-8, depending on their "League Age" and skill level.
Competition: While the game structure becomes more formal, the primary goal remains instructional; many leagues do not track official scores or standings at this level to keep the focus on learning.
Rules
Farm serves as the final bridge before full competitive play, often introducing more formal game structures.
Pitching: Depending on the local option, this division may use a Pitching Machine or a combination of coach-pitch and early player-pitch to ensure strikes are thrown.
Defense: Teams may play with 10 players on defense (using a fourth outfielder) to increase participation.
Scoring: While the game feels more formal, many leagues still do not track official standings for the regular season.
Field Dimensions: Bases are typically set at 50 or 60 feet depending on the specific program setup
