If you are unsure or your proper division, please contact the commissioners.

T-Ball 4/5/6 - Instructional league focusing on teaching fundamentals, with an emphasis on sportsmanship and teamwork. While T-ball is offered to both girls and boys, DYC also offers a 6U Instructional Softball division for girls.

Instructional (formerly Pinto 7U) - Still focusing on teaching, this division incorporates more baseball concepts with a combination of coach pitch and Tee. This division is good for players 6-7 years old and 5 year olds with previous t-ball experience. 60' bases. 7 year olds with at least 1 year of Coach Pitch would be better suited for Pinto 8U.

Pinto 8U- The same rules as Instructional, but now with kid pitch. No walks. Suitable for all 7 and 8 year olds or anyone with at least 1 year Coach Pitch experience. 40' pitching distance and 60' bases.

Mustang 9U/10U- More advanced baseball with stealing. 46' pitching distance and 60' bases.

Bronco 11U/12U- Full baseball rules under PONY Baseball including lead-offs, stealing and balks. 50' pitching distance and 70' bases. Away games may be held in nearby towns.

Pony 13U/14U- Full baseball rules under PONY Baseball. 54' pitching mound and 80' bases. Away games may be held in nearby towns.

Colt/Palomino 15U-18U- Full baseball rules under PONY Baseball. 60'6 pitching mound and 90' bases. Home games will be played at Hinsdale South High School. Away games may be held in nearby towns.

Cut-off dates are determined by the child's age before May 1st. Please refer to the Pony Age Key.

Pinto, Mustang, Bronco and Pony divisions will have Playoffs and All-Star games at the end of the season. T-ball and Instructional will have an Olympic Day for all participants at the end of the season.

Playing up - if you would like your child to play up above their designated division, please contact your division director. 

Colt/Palomino - The schedule for the Colt/Palomino league begins after the conclusion of the high school season and before college students head to campus. The league will begin the first week of June with playoffs ending the last week of July. Our goal is to have up to 16 regular-season games plus a double elimination playoff. The ages will be 15U–18U, based on a May 1st cutoff date. 18U players can participate but are not eligible to pitch. There will not be games scheduled over the Memorial Day or the 4th of July weekends.
