Junior Minor Division Overview
League Age: 7yrs - 8yrs

The Bryan National Little League, Junior Minor Division, is open to kids (boys and girls) who either moved up from Tee Ball or are just beginning their baseball journey. This division is an introduction to competitive baseball, and teams play for championships and placements. It is designed to teach the kids the game of baseball and enhance their understanding of the fundamentals.  

This is a machine pitch division where kids will learn to hit off the pitching machine. To ensure fair play, we play with the same technical rules and regulations across all little leagues. 

Team Managers & Coaches

Parent participation is one of the keys to the success of any youth volunteer league. Coaching is a great way to enjoy time with your child while introducing the skills essential for children in this age group and developing the fundamental elements of baseball. Parents are needed as managers, coaches, sponsors, team parents, and scorekeepers. We are asking for volunteers to begin to experience the joys of providing young players with a fun and lifelong baseball experience. Please sign up as a volunteer here or during registration.  

If you cannot help, please remember that your coach is a volunteer, and we ask that you please give them your full support.

Baseball Equipment + Uniforms 

Bryan National Little League provides players with a cap and game jersey. Parents will be responsible for player pants, socks, and belts. The manager of the team will inform parents of the team jersey color and will recommend what color socks, belts, and pants to purchase. A baseball glove, bat, helmet, and rubber cleats are required and will not be provided/shareable.

Gloves should be the softest and largest the player can handle. Well-broken-in leather gloves work best and will enable the child to catch and hold onto the ball better than a smaller, stiff plastic version. Rubber baseball cleats are required.

As previously mentioned, it's crucial that players bring their own batting helmets and bats. However, it's important to note that these items must meet the standards set by the Little League. This requirement is in place to ensure the highest safety standards for our players. Please ensure that any bats are Little League-approved. Please view the official Little League batting regulations here. 

Practices & Games Schedules

Practices generally last one to two hours. They will be held twice weekly, typically Monday - Saturday, until games begin. Games are one hour and thirty minutes long.  Most Junior Minor games and practices will be held at Bob Bond Park - Parker Field. 

Practice and game schedules will be available and posted on the website when coaches have them ready. They will also be updated regularly should any changes occur. 

Rules & Regulations

All divisions play by the rules set forth in the current version of the Little League rulebook.

Team Formations

The Player Agent will form teams through a process specified by the BNLL Board of Directors. Once teams have been finalized and coaches have been given the team rosters, all team placements are final. Requests for specific teams, players, or coaches are reviewable but not guaranteed.
