The Holland Division was established in 1989 as a separate division of Little League Baseball to enable boys and girls with physical and mental disabilities, ages 4-19 or the completion of high school, to enjoy the game of baseball along with the millions of other children who participate in this sport worldwide.

Teams are set up according to abilities, rather than age, and can include as many as 15-20 players, who can participate in one of three levels: Tee Ball, Coach-Pitch or Player Pitch.

Each player gets a chance at bat.  The side is retired when the offense has batted through the roster, or when a pre-determined number of runs have been scored, or when three outs are recorded.  Little League recommends that no score be kept during games.  The Holland players wear the same uniforms, shoulder patches and safety equipment as other Little League players.

One of the benefits of having a Holland Division is that it encourages the use of "buddies" for the Holland players.  The buddies assist the Holland players on the field but whenever possible, encourage the players to bat and make plays themselves, however, the buddy is always nearby to help when needed.

In 2006, RLL began play with other towns' Challenger programs to much success.  We will continue this year, with games against Wilton, Darien, Stamford, Fairfield, and Greenwich.

Please note that Holland continues to accept registrations through opening day – however, because we provide uniforms to the players with their names on the jerseys we appreciate as much notice as possible so that we can have your player ready to go for the first game.
