There are two levels in the Mukilteo Little League Minor leagues: Farm (AA) and Minors (AAA). Both Minor league levels are instructional levels. The goal of the Minor league is to build on the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, and throwing while being introduced to recreational competitiveness.  Players will continue to have fun while experiencing teamwork, sportsmanship, and a passion for the game.  The Minor league is open to boys and girls. One year of Farm (AA) level is required before moving to the Minors (AAA). Please contact us at mmfbaseball@mukilteolittleleague.com if you have further questions or if issues arise during the season.  

Farm (AA) Division

Farm Age and Experience Requirements

• League Age: Primarily 9 year olds (age as of August 31, 2026)
• Some 8 year olds may qualify if they have played 1 year of Rookie Baseball, pass a safety evaluation, receive a Rookie ball coach recommendation and are drafted to a Farm team.  If your child wants to "play up", please note this on the registration form.  Please click here for more information: Farm Skills Assessment. You should note on your registration form that your child would like to play up, and you will be contacted for an assessment date. If you do not hear from us shortly after registration closes, contact the Registrar at [email protected].
  

• Hitting: Coach pitch for the first two weeks of the season.  Thereafter, players will be hitting off of a coach for the first two (2) innings, followed by player pitch innings
  
• Ball Type: Hard ball
• Field Size: The field size is 60-foot base path and pitching is at 46 feet
• Competition: Regular season games and small postseason tournament

Minors (AAA) Division

Minors Age and Experience Requirements

• League Age: 10 and 11 year olds (age as of August 31, 2026)
• Some boys who turn 9 before August 31, 2026 may be eligible if they perform well enough during assessments and have played in Farm. 
• 8 year olds are not eligible for Minors
  
• Requirement: One year of Farm-level experience. The Farm division was created to provide a transition between the slower-paced Rookie (Coach Pitch) division and the faster-paced Minors division. At the time, the majority of 9 year olds coming out of coach pitch were not ready to face the faster pace of Minor league. We feel player development at this level is very important and a gradual progression of going from Coach Pitch to Farm level helps player's skills, confidence, and overall enjoyment for the game.
  

Minors: What to Expect

• Hitting: Players will be hitting off of a player for all 6 innings
• Ball Type: Hard ball
• Field Size: The field size is 60-foot base path and pitching is at 46 feet
• Competition: Regular season games, All-stars, and small postseason in-house tournament

Registering for Minors vs. Majors  

If your child is age 10 or 11, you may register him for Minors or Majors, unless your child is 12 years old. All 12-year olds must register and play in the Majors division. If your child is chosen for a division that is different from the one in which you registered, then you will either be refunded the difference (e.g., if you registered for Majors and he is drafted to a Minors team) or asked to pay the difference (e.g., if you registered for Minors and he is drafted to a Majors team). If you want your child to be considered for Majors, you should register him/her for Majors or let the league know by emailing [email protected]. Per local rules, players who do not attend the Majors assessments/tryouts and are not seen by the Majors coaches will not be eligible for the Majors draft.
