WHAT'S MY BASEBALL AGE?

Little League uses the player's age as of August 31 of the spring baseball season to determine a player's "baseball age". Use the Little League Baseball Age Calculator to determine a player's baseball league age. [Note - The linked calculator will show baseball ages for the current season.]

DIVISIONS COMPARISON

The Divisions Comparison Table is displayed below and is available for downloaded as a PDF document snll divisions comparison - sheet1.pdf. For clarification and additional detail to the divisions summaries about this table, please email  [email protected].  

Please note the target age ranges listed. We encourage each player participate in each division for 2 years. We suggest that players starting at 4 years old can play T-Ball at ages 4 and 5, Pioneer at 6 and 7, Farm at 7 and 8.  Minor and Major players are drafted onto teams using a player selection process conducted by the team managers. 

Some 5 year-olds are ready for the Pioneer division and need not have participated in one year of T-Ball.  Please contact [email protected] for more information.  

T-BALL (4-6)

All players play in the field at all times. In each inning all players bat. There are no balls, strikes, or outs, and no score is kept. Batters may take as many swings as needed to cleanly hit the ball off the tee. Regardless of the play in the field, all batters are awarded first base (at least). Runners are never out on the bases.  Therefore all players eventually score. Coaches are on the field during play to instruct the players. The game generally lasts 2 full innings or approximately 45 minutes.  

Pioneer (5-7)

This division is for players who are more reliably hitting a pitched ball and who are making basic defensive plays.  The tee can be used for those players who are still working on hitting live pitching.  Outs are recorded on defense and there is a run limit per inning.  All players in attendance bat and play defense.  

FARM (7-9)

The team in the field (defensive team) consists of 10 players. By rotation, all players will participate on defense. The batting team uses a “continuous batting order” whereby all players are in the batting lineup and the batting order continues from inning to inning -- without regard to having been a fielder the previous inning. The batting team retires their half of the inning at three outs or 5 runs. Otherwise, most normal baseball rules apply. The game is a combination of coach and player pitch.  

MINORS (8-11)

Minor division is the transition from Farm  where player pitching becomes part of the game for the players. The focus in this division is on teaching the players the fundamentals of baseball and developing skills.

All players must attend an evaluation. Minors players are drafted onto teams. 

MAJORS (10-12)

All players must attend an evaluation. Majors players are drafted onto teams. Players not selected for the major division are drafted onto minor teams.  

INTERMEDIATE 50/70 (11-13)

This division is fairly new and is ideal for players who have aged out of majors.  The field dimensions are a 50ft pitching distance and 70ft bases (46ft/60ft for majors).  Playing rules are similar to junior/senior and are an ideal transition for young players who will soon be playing on a full-sized baseball field (60/90).
