For players beginning at 4 years old and up to 12 years old. Cal-Ripken consists of four (4) incremental divisions.
| T-Ball | Recommended for 4, 5 and 6 year olds, teaches the fundamentals of hitting and fielding, while learning to bat from a tee. |
| Rookie | Recommended for 7 and 8 year olds, uses a pitching machine concept that results in more action at the plate and in the field, while avoiding the fear of being hit by a pitched ball. |
| Minors | Recommended for 9 and 10 year olds, players continue to build and refine their fundamental skills, and gain a better understanding of the game. |
| Majors | Recommended for 11 and 12 year olds, played on either a 60- or 70- foot diamond, pitching distances of 46- and 50 feet, respectively. |
