Tee Ball is where every Little Leaguer starts. Players learn the basics of throwing, fielding, hitting, base running, and teamwork in a low-pressure, encouraging environment. A softer baseball is used during practices and games. For the first portion of the season, players hit off a batting tee to develop proper swing mechanics. In the second half of the season, players are introduced to coach pitch — if a live pitch isn't hit within 5 pitches, the tee comes back out. No scores or standings are kept at this level, and all-star tournament games are not permitted.

Players who demonstrate proficiency at swing control may be advanced to coach pitch on an individual basis at the coach's discretion.

Minor League is an instructional division that builds on the skills learned in Tee Ball, introducing player pitching progressively as players advance through the sub-divisions. Players age 7 and older in the Minor League must try out. All AA and AAA rosters are assembled through a player draft. Divisions are distributed equally based on the number of registered players.

The Major Division is the top level of UFLL regular-season play for players ages 10–12. The game is played at full Minor/Major field dimensions with full player pitching. Each player must play a minimum of six defensive outs per game. Rosters are formed through a player draft, and the season includes full standings, playoffs, and a post-season tournament.

UFLL typically fields one combined Intermediate (50/70) and Junior League team for eligible older players. This program bridges the gap between the standard Little League field and the full 90-foot diamond used in high school baseball, giving older players the chance to develop within Little League at a more advanced level.
