Each local Little League program should discuss the Intermediate (50/70) Division at a league meeting to determine what would be the best way to offer the program to the members of your local league. Determine if your league would prefer the Intermediate (50/70) Division to be geared toward more advanced players in a competitive structure, or simply another division within the program that is made available to all age appropriate players regardless of ability. Below you will find an outline of the two structure options as well as two best practices guides.
Note:
For the first time in the baseball division, players are permitted to participate in multiple divisions during the regular season. This would allow a local league who has players that are participating in the Intermediate (50/70) Division to also participate in the Majors or Junior Divisions during the regular season.
For more general information, please discover the LittleLeague.org Intermediate (50/70) Baseball Division Resource Page.
For information about this baseball division for the Atlee Little League, please contact Don Smith, VP Baseball.

Hi, I just received the email stating my son could also play in the 50/70 this Spring. He would be interested in finding out more information. Will practices be on a different night from his regular majors team and no conflicts with game times?
Thanks,
Nancy
Hey Nancy, this is Jamie. We are going to try and come up with a schedule that will allow kids to play in both majors and intermediate. While we cannot avoid all conflicts, our goal will be to minimize these to give all the kids the benefits from playing both divisions. The games that we played for the last half of the fall season were all intermediate games. We did scale back some of the rules, but the spring will see regular rules. Please visit https://atleelittleleague.org/what-is-intermediate-baseball/ for some information regarding intermediate baseball. Peter can also play the additional division for only $ 50 more. That is a steal!!
