AA (9 YEAR OLD) LEAGUE - FAQ's

Q: Do you keep score and are there umpires?
A: Yes. Every manager maintains a score book. League standings are kept to determine a regular season winner and to determine playoff games. There is a home plate umpire and a manager or coach from the fielding team umpiring at first and third base.

Q: What size field do they play on and where is the field?
A: All games are played on a regulation Little League field with a dirt infield and grass outfield. Fields number 4 or 5 are usually used.. Bases are 60’ apart and the pitcher mound is 46’ from home plate.

Q: Can I have my child play on a team with their friends?
A: Not unless they are drafted onto that team. In this age group, players skills are evaluated in a skills assessment clinic. Then a draft is held.

Q: Can I manage or coach a team?
A: Yes!  If positions are available we welcome the help.  Prospective managers must complete an online application.  If you would like to serve as a manager, then please monitor the website for manager application information, or contact a league official for more information.  If you would like to help a manager by being an assistant coach, make sure you note that on your son's registration form.  All managers and coaches must pass a Little League background check and be approved by the Tuckahoe Little League Board of Directors.

Q: Will my child get to play all the time?
A: Probably not the entire game, but our rules require the manager to play each child at least 50% of each game.

Q: What are the volunteer requirements?
A: TLL is an all volunteer organization so there are many ways to volunteer.  Every parent is expected to help with his/her team's shift in the league concession stand.  In addition to that, help is always needed with registration, team parenting, assisting with picture and carnival day activities, helping with post-season tournaments, and working in the concession stand to name just a few of the many ways to help support TLL.  If you are interested in helping, please let us know!

Q: Why a draft? Sounds pretty serious.
A: A draft is the best way to evenly spread the various skill level of players throughout the league. TLL holds a player skills assessment clinic. Each child is required to swing a bat and run to first base, field a ground ball and catch a fly ball. The player’s skills are assessed and the manager then decides which child he would like to draft in the various rounds of the draft.
