Baseball Division Structure

A player’s League Age determines which division they are eligible to play in, in accordance with Little League Baseball and Softball rules. League Age can be verified using the official Little League International League Age Calculator. Final Placement for players will depend on evaluations and team drafts.

All players are required to attend one evaluation based on their League Age in order to be eligible for team placement through the draft process and for All-Stars tournament consideration.
