To insure fair competition Little League tries to group players of the same maturity and skill level together in their divisions. The most effective way to do this is to group players by age.  In 2005, The Little League International Board of Directors accepted a recommendation from USA Baseball to change the league age determination date for its players starting in the 2006 season.

The league age determination date is the age a player has attained as of a specific date, for the purpose of placing the player in a particular division. For more than 55 years in Little League, that date was July 31, Starting in 2006, the date in all division of Little League Baseball will be April 30 of the current year. The date in all divisions of Little League Softball will be Dec. 31 of the previous year. 

USA Baseball represents amateur baseball in the U.S. as a member of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and the International Baseball Association Federation (IBAF). Virtually every major national youth baseball organization in the U.S., including Little League, is a USA Baseball National Member. USA Baseball recommended that the league age determination date be changed from July 31 to April 30, for the 2006 season for all youth baseball organizations.  The change was made in softball to reflect the fact that most national youth softball organizations use Dec. 31 as the league age determination date. 

Age Groups by Division.

Children are assigned to divisions based on their League age in the year of the upcoming Season.

  Player Selections

Players in non-competitive Divisions such as Coach Pitch & T-ball for both Baseball and Softball do not have tryouts and are randomly selected for teams by that Divisions Coordinator.  In these divisions players may request to be placed with a particular coach or player.  The Division Coordinator will do his best to honor placement requests, but the league cannot guarantee any placement requests except for siblings in the same age group.  Please notate any placement requests on players season application.

Players in competitive divisions - Minor League and above are required to participate in player evaluations that will assist team managers in their selections of teams.  Because all players are selected via the draft, no player placement requests can be honored for these divisions except for same age siblings.  Player's who missed earlier Evaluation dates for the 2008 Season can attend the final make-up evaluation.  This tryout is for all competitive divisions.
