There are several different leagues within the Newton Central Little League: Farm, AA, AAA, and Majors. The league that your child will play in is determined by their age as well as tryouts (for older children only). Tryouts are intended to ensure that children play at the level that is most suitable for their skill level, as well as to attempt to balance teams. T-ball will also be offered this year for the first time ever.<br>
