Shetland

What to know before you register: Shetland is a introductory level, and we do not approve move ups to Pinto age due to safety. Friend request and coach requests are accepted but not guaranteed (we always try!!). You will find out who your coach is after the coaches meeting (usually end of Feb) and will receive your pre-season practice schedule early March. Weekdays and times can be found on the right panel of this page. This division will have a Feature Day at the end of the season. 

SHETLAND 6U™ LEAGUE provides an excellent opportunity to teach basic catching, throwing, batting and fielding, and a love of the game of baseball without making the experience a course of intensified instruction. The best approach is to let the teams play with little thought to victory or defeat, but merely for the joy of participation while, at the same time, learning the fundamentals of teamwork, group discipline and sportsmanship.

SHETLAND 6U™ LEAGUE coaches are allowed on the field to offer instruction during the game. The rules require that players be given the opportunity to try different positions, and that all of them get to play in every game. 

Players in this age range have a short attention span in any single activity and games must move rapidly. Only the basic fundamentals of the game should be brought out. It is not uncommon for players of this age, initially, to be unfamiliar with which is first base, which is third base, and which field is left and which is right. Lack of knowledge indicates merely that the player has not yet been introduced to the game and has no relationship to the player's potential athletic ability.
