Special Note Regarding Intermediate 50/70 Registration

Fairfield American Little League has offered an Intermediate 50/70 Division as part of our spring season for the last several years. The Intermediate 50/70 Division is open to all players aged 12 or 13 according to the Little League International Age Determination chart. (Click here to view the chart and see your player’s Little League Age.)  In the past, many 12 year old players participated in 50/70 in addition to Majors, which also is open to 12s, while 50/70 is the only Little League option for baseball 13s.

The Intermediate 50/70 Division utilizes a 50-foot pitching distance and 70-foot base paths. The division, which was a new division of Little League Baseball in 2013, offers a transition for players between the standard Little League field size (46-foot pitching distance and 60-foot base paths) and the Junior/Senior/Big League field size (60-foot, 6-inch pitching distance and 90-foot base paths). In addition, Intermediate 50/70 rules allow runners to lead off bases and the ability to attempt to steal at any time.

Participation in the Intermediate 50/70 Division has declined in the last couple of years, as the number of non-Little League affiliated baseball options has grown significantly.  Indeed, we were forced to cancel the Intermediate 50/70 Division for the Fall 2018 season due to low player enrollment and an insufficient number of volunteer managers and coaches to run the program effectively.   

We are hopeful that we will have a thriving Intermediate 50/70 Division this spring, which may include inter-league games against 50/70 teams in other local leagues.  But we need players and coaches to make it happen!

Please contact Fairfield American Little League President Neil Stekloff if you have any questions about playing, coaching or volunteering in the Intermediate 50/70 Division.
