Coach Pitch

The Coach Pitch Division is often a player’s first introduction to baseball. The division is dedicated to safety and fun first, with a focus on very basic baseball skills: throwing, catching and batting. Most players at this age lack the physical skills to play the complete game of baseball, so games are augmented to be fun, quick and instructional.

Local Regulations and Playing rules require the use of all players, in various positions, in a 3 inning, time limited game.No league standings or win/loss records are kept during the regular season to encourage teams to utilize players in each position for development purposes and prepare them for the next level of baseball. In Ahwatukee Coach Pitch division, coaches will pitch a limited number of pitches to batters with a tee used for the last at bat.
