4 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q: How is Davenport Southeast Little League structured? A: The league is divided into four divisions Majors, Minors, CCP and Rookies. Q: How is it determined which division they will play in? A: Age is the primary determinant, but a tryout and draft process is in place that creates variability based on skill level. In general: Majors: Ages Minors: Ages 8-10 (Player Pitch and includes some 11 year old players not selected for Majors) CCP: Ages 5-8(Competitive Coach Pitch using Coach as pitcher but playing modified baseball rules to get players ready for Minors which is player pitch. Scores/Standings are kept and begins competitive play) Rookies: Ages 4 6 (Starts out as coach pitch with tee rescue. Emphasis is on introduction to baseball and basic skills development. No scores or standings are kept) Q: Can I request my 10 or 11 year-old play in the Minors or Majors? A: Yes. Q: Does my child have to try out? A: Tryouts are MANDATORY for Majors, Minors and CCP players. Rookies players will be assigned to their teams. There are two different dates available to accommodate schedule conflicts. See the information on tryouts. Q: How is it determined which team my child plays on? A: Teams are selected through the draft process. After tryouts, the coaches draft their team. The Majors hold their draft first, followed by Minors and CCP. The remaining players, ages 6 and under, for Rookies will be divided evenly with the goal of having kids per team. Q: What will my child need above and beyond what the league provides? A: In Majors, Minors and CCP, each player should have the following: Gray baseball pants (required) Glove (required) Protective cup (required to play catcher, strongly encouraged for all) Cleats, non metal (recommended)

5 Q: If I want to buy my child their own bat, what is recommended? A: The bat must be a Little League approved metal bat. The sizes we recommend depend largely upon the size of the child. Traditionally, Minor League players use bats weighing oz. and are about 28 long. Major League players typically use bats weighing oz. and are about 30 long. This is only a guideline. Please refer to the SELL website for approved Official Little League Bats List. Q: Are there any special requirements if I want to help at practices or be an assistant coach? A: Yes. Little League requires that a background check be performed. If you are interested in volunteering, please complete a Volunteer Application Form and provide a copy of your photo ID. Upon us receiving word of your clearance, you may begin helping the team. Q: Where and when are the games played? A: Most league games are played at Prairie Heights Park. There are three lighted fields at Prairie Heights Park for all divisions to use. Majors and Minors will play interleague games with other Davenport Leagues and will play some games at other fields in the QC. Q: How long does the season last? A: The Majors, Minors & CCP season runs about 9-11 weeks. The Rookie season runs about 5-6 weeks. Practices will begin prior to the start of the season. Your child s manager will be in contact with you to provide schedule details.
