- Foal (5u T-Ball, League-Ages 4-5) - players will learn the basics of baseball. Each player will hit off of a tee and graduate to coach-pitch when they are ready for it. All players play and the entire roster bats each inning. A specially designed level-1 safety ball is used, scores & standings are not kept, and every child receives a trophy at end of season.
- Shetland (6u Machine-Pitch, League-Ages 5-6) - players play "real" games with scores and playoffs. Batters hit machine pitching (approx. 22mph). A specially designed level-5 safety ball is used in Shetland. Scores, playoffs and All-Stars begin at the Shetland level.
- Pinto-8u (8u Kid-Pitch, League-Age 8) - division introduces kid-pitching (from 38') and base stealing. There are no walks, instead at ball 4 the coach takes over pitching.
- Mustang (10u, League-Ages 9-10) - players begin leading-off and learning pick-offs, balks, dropped 3rd-strike and bunting. Pitchers throw from 46'.
- Bronco (12u, League-Ages 11-12) - plays with full MLB rules and uses a larger field, with bases at 70' and mound at 50'.
- Pony (15u, League-Ages 13-15) - division continues the gradual field dimension increases to prepare players for high school ball by using 80' bases and a 54' pitching mound.
