Intermediate Division
The HTLL Intermediate Baseball program is a competitive baseball league that builds on the individual and team skills developed in previous divisions. The division expands the field dimensions to 50-foot pitching distance and 70-foot base paths. Additional baseball components are added, such as taking leads and stealing bases. This division offers a transition between the standard Little League Major League field size (46-foot pitching distance and 60-foot base paths) with the larger 60/90 foot field dimensions for those players that continue to play beyond HTLL.
The Intermediate Division consists of 5-6 teams of 12-13 players ages 12-13. (Birthday 5/1/08-8/31/10)
