Goal
The goal of the Majors division in Simsbury Little League is for the players to apply those fundamentals learned at the lower levels into more advanced game situations. Players continue to fine tune the stages of strategy (i.e. bunting and stealing) while continuing to learn the skills specific to each position. In the Majors division, managers begin to place players in those positions that allow them the best opportunity to grow and succeed. The Majors season concludes with a playoff tournament.
