League Age Determination:
A player's 'league age' is determined by the official little league date of:
- Softball - January 1st
- Baseball - August 31st
Whatever your player’s age is on the respective date above is the players 'league age' for the current season. Softball is pretty easy to calculate since it resets on the 1st of the year; however, baseball is a bit trickier being that it is based on an August 31st cutoff date.
League Age Example for Softball
Softball is straightforward since it uses January 1st. Your child's age on January 1st is their league age for softball for that year.
League Age Example for Baseball
As of today's date, your child is currently 10 years old and his birthday is August 21st. Even though they are currently 10 years old, they are considered to be 11 years old for league age because their birthday is BEFORE the August 31st date. If they were born on Sept. 1st, they would be considered to be 10 years old league age. Therefore, in this example, your child would be eligible for the Majors Baseball (12U) division and NOT the Minor 2 - Kid Pitch (10U) division.
