Regulation II (Player Choice)
Players aged 4-7 may register with any Little League of their choosing. When they register, their older sibling may join the league as well. As only players with addresses in our boundaries may register - you will need to contact us to register an older sibling. Once the 4-7 player is registered, please email us at [email protected] to complete registration.
The age, school, residence, and eligibility requirements are determined by Little League International, not Northampton Baseball. For more information on the new requirements, please

DESCRIPTION OF DIVISIONS
Quickball (Age 4-5): Quickball is a fast-paced, active, and inclusive introduction to baseball for our youngest kids, ages 4-5 with the program and equipment specifically designed for the youngest children, for a fun and engaging learning experience focused on fundamentals like running the bases, hitting a pitched ball, catching, and throwing.
Bambino (Age 6): This is our second level of baseball. For the first time, "outs count." During the first few games, at the coaches’ discretion, the kids may hit from a batting tee. Thereafter, the players bat against a Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine. Players bat in continuous batting order and receive equal playing time in the field. Games are played on weeknights and Saturday mornings.
Rookie (Age 7): The Rookie division focuses on preparing the kids for more competitive baseball. Starting this season, we will utilize the Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine, which will help the players better transition to player pitch in the years ahead. Players bat in continuous batting order, with coaches deciding how best to position them in the field. Scores are not kept. Games are played on weeknights and Saturday mornings.
A ["Single-A"] (Age 8): This division is focused on transitioning the kids to player pitch. During the first third of the season, we will utilize the Louisville Slugger Blue Flame Pitching Machine. During the second third of the season, we will alternate between the pitching machine and player pitch. The final third of the season will be entirely player pitch.
Little League Majors (Age 9-12): This division is divided into three different leagues.
- National League (Ages 11 & 12 ONLY): The National League (NL) is our most competitive division. NL players are drafted following a tryout/evaluation. NL games are played on the expanded field (50’ mound distance and 70’ base distance). Standings are kept, and playoffs will follow the regular season.
- American League (Ages 9-12*): The American League (AL) is our second most competitive division. The goal of the AL program is to prepare players to make a National League team the following season. AL games are played on the standard 46’ mound and 60’ base distance. AL players are drafted following an evaluation/tryout. Standings will be kept, and playoffs will follow the regular season.
- AAA (Ages 9-10): The AAA consists of all 9 and 10-year-old players who are not drafted to an American League team or who opt to play in the AAA division. Managers in this division will draft the players following an evaluation. Standings will be kept, and playoffs will follow the regular season.
*Little League Age 9 players may try out for the American League but will only be allowed to play in the American League if they are chosen in the first round of the draft.
We will draft our NL teams first. After our NL teams are selected we will conduct the AL draft. Any players not selected to an NL team will be eligible to be drafted to an AL team. After our AL teams are selected, we will conduct the draft for our AAA division.
