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 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.
Schedule
Majors games will be on Monday and Wednesday evenings (6-8pm) and Saturday evenings (7-9pm). Practices will be on Sundays (times vary) and 1 weeknight batting cage (days vary).
Pre-season practices may be held Saturdays, Sundays and/or 1 weeknight. This varies widely by team and field availability.
Pre-season (first 2 weeks of April) schedules will vary per team and division. Activities may include team-specific practices and division-wide clinics. In addition, there may be opportunities for additional practices depending on field availability. Schedules are dependent on the number of registrants and teams per division. SLL and your coach will relay this information as soon as possible.
