Plymouth-Canton Little League Baseball Divisions
Boys and girls play baseball together at PCLL. We do not have dedicated baseball teams of all girls or all boys. Because the number of registered boys typically outnumbers the number of registered girls, though, it is possible that there may be only one girl on a team, none, or several. T-ball and Machine Pitch players are welcome to make requests during registration to be placed with a certain coach or player. Requests are not available outside of T-Ball or Coach Pitch.
Please note that baseball has historically been a sport with many boys registered and relatively very few girls. PCLL offers fast-pitch softball which is traditionally a sport for girls. Boys and girls are welcome to register for the program that fits them best. CLICK HERE for more information about our fast-pitch softball program.
