INTERNAL DCLL DIVISIONS

These divisions play only internal, DCLL games.  All games will be held against other Dallastown teams on Dallastown fields.  There are no umpires and games are designed to be developmental, learning-based.

Hybrid:
Division Overview.  Rules for DCLL can be found on our website under the 'COACHES' tab..  This division is a player/tee hybrid.  The intent of this league is to promote good fundamentals at bat and in the field, as well as begin to develop pitching from a shortened distance.

Recommended Skills.  5 and 6 year olds who have completed at least one year of t-ball and possess solid baseball fundamentals may move up to our hybrid division.  7 and 8 year olds who are new to the sport (or those who struggle to throw, catch, or hit a thrown ball) should play in the hybrid division as well. 

LITTLE LEAGUE DIVISIONS

These divisions participate mostly in in-house games against other DCLL teams, but will play some games against other local leagues.  All games are 100% player pitch with umpires.  All official "Little League" teams will follow Little League rules for their particular division (the AA division will follow modified "Clarence Boyd" rules as dictated by out local LL district administration).

YORK COUNTY BASEBALL DIVISIONS

These divisions will play mostly out-of-league games against other York County teams.  All games are played on 90' fields under official York County Baseball rules.  Age for our York County teams uses May 1st as a cutoff, meaning league age for a player may be different for York County teams than it is for Little League teams in the same calendar year.

14U:  This division is for players 14 and under.

16U:  This division is for players 16 and under.
