Age and Residency Requirements

To determine a player's Little League age for the 2023 Fall and 2024 Spring seasons, use the following age chart.


A player's options for the 2024 fall and 2025 spring seasons are determined by the player's 2025 Little League Age

  • If your child is 4 by 8/31/25, Wiffle Ball (no Wiffle Balll during the fall)
  • If your child is 5 by 8/31/25, T-Ball
  • If your child is 6 by 8/31/25, T-Ball (default) or Coach Pitch (by parent request if player played PALL T-Ball in the previous spring)
  • If your child is 7 by 8/31/25, Coach Pitch
  • If your child is 8 by 8/31/25, AA (formerly Pitching Machine)
  • If your child is 9 by 8/31/25, AAA (default) or PCL/Majors via evaluation and draft*
  • If your child is 10 by 8/31/25, AAA (default) or PCL/Majors via evaluation and draft*
  • If your child is 11 by 8/31/25, PCL or Majors evaluation and draft*
  • If your child is 12 by 8/31/25, Majors via mandatory evaluation and draft* or PCL at parents’ option (specify preference during registration) or 50/70 via tryout**
  • If your child is 13, 14, or 15 by 8/31/25, Juniors or Intermediate (54/80) with mandatory evaluation**

* A manager draft is used at Majors and PCL levels. Players who have previously played in Majors or PCL must attend an evaluation to be guaranteed continued placement the league played in during the previous season.

** Juniors require player evaluations. Since space is limited, not all players who register for a Juniors team are necessarily placed on a team.
