Goal
The goal of the Majors division in Simsbury Little League is for the players to apply those fundamentals learned at the lower levels into more advanced game situations. Players continue to fine tune the stages of strategy (i.e. bunting and stealing) while continuing to learn the skills specific to each position. In the Majors division, managers begin to place players in those positions that allow them the best opportunity to grow and succeed. The Majors season concludes with a playoff tournament.
Draft
This is the second level of baseball with a draft. Players are chosen by the managers in a player draft. All 10 and 11 year olds not chosen in the draft will automatically play AAA.
Umpires
These games are umpired by trained youth or adult umpires.
Volunteers Needed
