Each division of the league has specific ages associated with it.  The division that any player ends up playing in is based on age and/or being drafted based on his or her abilities.  The following displays the different divisions, the criteria for players being placed there and general time commitments.

Advanced Baseball teams generally practice during the week and have games on weekends.  However, the schedule is dependent on other leagues and game/practice days may fluctuate including the addition of weekday games and weekend practices.

AA,  AAA and Majors division teams have practices twice per week (one weekday afternoon and one on Sunday) and have two games per week (one weekday afternoon and one on Saturday).  

Farm division teams practice once per week either on a weekday afternoon or on Sunday, and have one game per week on Saturday.

Instructional division teams practice once per week on a weekday afternoon and have one game per week on Saturday.  

Practice/Game days and times for the above divisions are determined and published after teams are formed, usually by the last week of February. 

The Challenger division practices Monday early evening and has a game on Sunday afternoons.
