Juniors: Little League ages for Juniors are 13-14, as of August 31. This division introduces kids to the full-sized baseball field (90' base paths, 60'6" pitchers mound). Teams interleague with many other District 2 Little Leagues. Early in the season, teams typically only play once a week to minimize conflicts with CYM and middle school games. After those seasons end, teams typically play three games a week. Teams will be made up of both Capitol players and Midway players, and home games will use Midway's Tirrell Field.

Seniors: Little League ages for Seniors are 15-16, as of August 31. Teams interleague with many other District 2 Little Leagues. Early in the season, teams typically only play once a week to minimize conflicts with high school games. After those seasons end, teams typically play three games a week. Teams will be made up of both Capitol players and Midway players, and home games will use Midway's Tirrell Field.

Schedules: 12 and under divisions start on April 9 and finish in mid-June. Seniors start in mid-April and finish in mid-June. Juniors start in late April and finish in late June.

All-Star Tournaments: At the end of the regular season, several all-star teams are selected (Little League ages 8, 9, 10, 11/12, 13/14, and 15/16). These teams compete in tournaments against all-star teams from other leagues. Ten-year-old and up teams may advance beyond the district level. There is also an 11/12-year-old 'B' team that plays in the Brandywine Invitational Tournament each year. All of these teams are selected by the managers (though the Major division players vote for the 11/12-year-old district team). This year, Midway and Capitol will have combined all-star teams.
