There are several different age and skill levels available in Logan County Ball.
Baseball Age:
The age for boys (and girls playing co-ed ball) is considered to be the age that they are as of April 30th during the current year. (Example: a boy turns 5 on April 10th. He is considered to be 5 and can play tee ball. Example: a boy turns 13 on May 2nd. He is considered to be 12 and can play Little League.)
The age for girls playing softball is considered to be the age that they were as of December 31st on the previous year. (Example: a girl turns 12 on January 2nd. She is still considered to be 11 years old since that was how old she was at the end of the previous year.)
All Tee Ball and Baseball divisions are co-ed, and softball are girls-only. For players with experience, there may be opportunity to enroll in a league higher than their age would otherwise indicate, but not lower. (This must be approved by the board.)
Baseball Divisions:
As of 2020, these were the divisions:
Tee Ball
Open to 5 & 6 year old boys and girls. (Some 4 year olds may also play in order to fill teams, but this is not guaranteed.) In this league, the kids hit the ball from a tee and do not have any balls thrown to them when batting. Every player bats in order, maximum of 9 batters per inning.
Coach Pitch
Open to 7 & 8 year olds. In this league, the coach throws the ball to his own players when they are at-bat.
Farm League
Open to 9-10 year olds, but 11 & 12 year olds may also play with some restrictions (Eleven year old can not pitch or catch. Twelve year olds will be limited to playing only the outfield. No twelve year old may play in the position of catcher, pitcher, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, or short stop.) It is highly recommended that 11 & 12 year olds play Little League instead of Farm. Farm League has players pitching to the opposite team.
Little League
Open to 9-12 year olds, but 9 and 10 year olds with little experience are recommended to play on Farm League instead before moving up. Players pitch to the opposite team, and pitchers are usually older (11 and 12) with experience.
Pony League
Open to 13-15 year olds.

Softball - 8U (8 and Under)
Open to 7 & 8 year old girls. In 8U softball, the coach pitches to her own players.

Softball - 12U (10 and Under)
