Coach Pitch Baseball for 7- and 8-Year-Olds in Marietta

Hitting a moving ball changes everything.

In AAA, coaches pitch to their own players. It is the first time most kids hit a ball that is coming at them — thrown by someone who wants them to succeed. Games start to look and feel like real baseball.

Skills & development

What AAA players work on

  • Hitting pitched balls

    Timing, keeping their eyes on the ball, and swinging with confidence.

  • Fielding

    Ground balls, pop-ups, and knowing where to throw.

  • Base running

    When to run, when to hold, and listening to base coaches.

  • The rules of the game

    Outs, force plays, and how an inning works.

Season expectations

What parents can expect in AAA

  • An evaluation day before the draft (Fall 2026: August 1). It is not a cut.
  • Usually one weeknight practice, set by your coach after teams form.
  • Most games on Saturdays, plus a few midweek games.
  • Team cap and jersey included. You provide a glove, cleats and baseball pants (coach picks the color).

AAA is coach pitch. Specific game rules can change by season and are published by the league on Crossbar.

Age ranges are guidance. Divisions are set by age on a season cutoff date, which has not been published for Spring 2027 yet (Fall 2026 used April 30, 2027).

Questions

AAA division FAQ

Who pitches in AAA?
Coaches pitch to players. Kid pitch begins in the Minor division (ages 9–10).
My 8-year-old is advanced. Can they play up?
Register in AAA and note that you’d like them to play up. They evaluate with their age group and coaches make a recommendation to the league.
Should we practice at home?
It’s not required, but the league says it helps enormously — playing catch, tossing grounders, or soft-toss hitting a few times a week.

Mount Paran North

1700 Allgood Road NE, Marietta, GA 30062
