The league offers four distinct divisions tailored to different age groups:

● T-Ball: Designed for 4 to 5-year-olds, T-Ball introduces young players to the fundamentals of the game in a supportive environment where the focus is on learning and enjoyment.

● Coach Pitch: Catering to 6 to 7-year-olds, Machine Pitch emphasizes both offensive and defensive skills, providing players with essential techniques to further their baseball journey.

● Rookie League: Geared towards 8 to 10-year-olds, the Rookie League delves deeper into baseball rules and regulations, introducing elements of competitive play such as umpiring, strikeouts, and more.

● AAA Baseball: Aimed at 10 to 12-year-old players, AAA Baseball represents a more competitive level while still prioritizing fun and player development. Participants have the opportunity to explore various positions, with some beginning to specialize as they refine their skills.

The Black Men Coalition of Dane County encourages community members to support this initiative through sponsorship packages, furthering the organization's mission to make baseball accessible to all youth in the region.
