2025 age key - age keys can be confusing, the following age ranges show eligible ages from youngest to oldest. Keep in mind the youngest players have the most recent birth dates. It may help to say the heading above the date as you are trying to figure out what age division(s) your player is eligible. Example: A player, "born between May 1, 2016 - April 30, 2019" would be eligible for 8U baseball. Additionally, baseball and softball age keys do differ. MYBSA does not make these age keys we simply follow the industry standards set forth by the PONY organization.
