The GBL Coach Pitch Division is an instructional league for players ages 7 and 8 as of April 31, 2024. The Coach Pitch division is designed to establish a fun environment for the players to learn the sport and improve their on-field skills. Coaches will pitch during games, but the other rules closely resemble those of the older divisions. The focus is on fundamentals of hitting, running, catching and throwing, but there is also an emphasis on how the game is played. Score is kept during the game, and there is a postseason playoff which all teams qualify for.
The Coach Pitch division will usually practice twice a week leading up to the regular season and possibly a batting cage practice as well. All practices are one hour in length. Once games begin in mid-March, each team will play a weeknight game, play a game on Saturday , and hold one practice during the week or on Sunday. The season will wrap-up no later than the 2nd week of June. All activities will take place at Cameron Brown Park or Bob Hailey Athletic Complex.
