Ashland Majors Baseball Division

Philosophy: The Major Division is for boys and girls between the ages 9-12 but, in Ashland, generally between 10 and 12. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance is 46 feet. This division is competitive, using umpires and score keepers, ending with a championship game. Ashland has an option to choose a Tournament Team (or "All Stars") of 11-12-year-olds from within this division, and the team may enter the International Tournament. The culmination of the International Tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the globe. All expenses for the teams advancing to the World Series (travel, meals and housing) are paid by Little League Baseball.
