The Senior division represents big league rules on a big league sized field. It provides 14 to 16 year old players a way to continue to enhance fundamental baseball skills and have fun on a full size baseball diamond. The division offers older players competitive play where score is kept and the season ends with a post-season playoff. Prior baseball experience is not required.

Senior FAQs
Q: Do you keep score and are there umpires?
A: Yes. Every manager maintains a scorebook. Umpires are used at this level.
Q: Can I request my child play on a team with their friends?
A: Not unless they are selected by the team manager during player selection. In this age group, player's skills are evaluated in a skills assessment. Then team managers select their teams through a draft process (Spring Season Only).
Q: Why a draft? Sounds pretty serious?
A: A player draft is the best way to evenly spread the various skill level of players throughout the teams at this division. CCLL holds a player skills assessment clinic prior to each season. The player's skills are assessed and the team managers then decide what player he or she would like to select in the various rounds of the draft. All players are placed on to a team. There are no cuts. The draft only applies to the Spring Season.
Q: Can my child play down a level?
A: No. A player that is league age 14, 15 or 16 cannot play down to the Intermediate 50/70 Division per Little League rules.
Q: Will my child get to play all the time?
A: Probably not the entire game. But, our rules require the manager to bat the entire line up and no player can sit the bench more than one inning in a row.
Q: Is my child eligible for an All-Star or Tournament Team at this level?
A: Yes. There are tournament opportunities at this level. Please see our All-Star page

Q: Can I manage or coach a team?
