2024 Age Divisions

Age Divisions

NEW DIVISIONS FOR THE 2024 SEASON

We've designed the age groups with the following considerations:

Safety: Ensuring that players are grouped with others of similar age promotes a safer playing environment.
Competition Levels: The age divisions are structured to provide appropriate competition levels, contributing to a positive experience for all players.
Division Manageability: Managing the size of each division effectively requires a strategic approach to player placement based on age. Last year we had too many kids unable to play because they belonged in divisions that were overloaded partially due to concessions of others playing up or down. We are currently using every field we can get our hands on and still need to cap registration in each division.
Anticipation of League Growth: Due to our recent transition to Little League International, I have received numerous calls, texts and emails from coaches and players parents, within our boundaries, who will now be joining our league.

While we understand that each family's situation is unique, accommodating requests to play up or down in age groups can have broader implications and if we make concessions for one, we need to make them for all.

We will not be making concessions to play up or down, apart from the established Elite 8's and Elite 10's. Which will be verified through a tryout.

As you register, you will need to keep your player in the correct age, but where there is an overlap, you can then choose the division that best fits your player.
