Majors Team Formation and Gameplay
In Majors, players tend to specialize at particular defensive positions, even during the regular season. Although this of course helps coaches field competitive teams for interlocking play, the main reason is to protect children from physical injury and embarrassing or unpleasant experiences. Players who wish to play a specific position should speak to their coach at the beginning of the season.
At National Little League, we are committed to providing a positive and fair experience for all of our players. Our goal in team formation is to create balanced teams that promote fair play, healthy competition, and the development of each young athlete.
We understand that team placement can be a sensitive issue, and we are committed to forming balanced teams that promote fair play and sportsmanship. We conduct assessments to evaluate players’ skills, which helps to allow for a balanced mix within each team to promote healthy competition and development.
For the Major Division, teams are selected through a draft-style process where player assessments are reviewed and Major Head Coaches take turns selecting players for their teams. Our team formation process aims to provide every player with the opportunity to enjoy the game, develop their skills, and have fun in a balanced, competitive environment. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we make these important decisions, and we look forward to another successful season!
