Little League Baseball Minors/AA Division

DDAA's Little League Minors AA is the next level after T-Ball. All boys and girls, aged 6 to 8 (based on league age), are eligible to participate. There's no need for tryouts at this level. However, we do evaluate each player to determine if they're ready to advance up a level.

At the Minors AA level, coaches pitch, and the division is a lot more instructional. Our focus here is on instilling the fundamental principles of baseball to equip players for higher levels.

Here, players are introduced to the essentials: throwing, catching, defensive positioning, hitting, and base running. More than just skills, we emphasize values. Players learn the importance of teamwork, fair play, and sportsmanship. They're also taught to respect fellow players, regardless of their skill level.

SPRING
The DDAA Spring baseball season usually kicks off around mid-April and wraps up by mid-June.

SUMMER
Subject to demand, DDAA aims to assemble as many Summer tournament teams as feasible. Summer tournaments are primarily open to players registered in the Spring season, with specific age-eligibility criteria in place. These teams are very competitive and do require tryouts.

For other players not involved in tournament teams, DDAA tries to provide FREE drop-in practice sessions throughout the summer.

FALL
The DDAA Fall baseball season usually kicks off in early September, just after Labor Day, and lasts until late October. Fall ball features a mix of match ups both in-town and against neighboring towns.

WINTER
For those looking to stay active during the colder months, DDAA offers an indoor Winter Workout Program at the New England Sports Center. Scheduled to begin in January and extend until March, this initiative welcomes players not only from Derry but also from nearby towns.
