There are a number of differences. I will focus on the biggest ones. The Neighborhood Leagues play once a week on Saturdays and the Rec Leagues play twice a week. The Neighborhood Leagues use a Villages provided aluminum bat and you provide your own bat in Rec League. The popular bats in Rec League are composite bats and are "hotter". Neighborhood League starts off with a 1-1 count while Rec League starts with a 0-0 count. Rec League Teams change each season via a draft while Neighborhood League Teams are primarily composed of players from the same Village. Rec League has a playoff at the end of each season while Neighborhood League doesn't. They are both organized by Division based on an evaluation of your playing skills.
