Player League Age Info

Player League Age Details

Your player’s league age is determined by the Little League Baseball® and Little League Softball® Age Charts. The dates for baseball and softball are different, but each determines the division in which your Little Leaguer will play this season. Registration for BSLL is done by “League Age” not actual age at the time of registration, per Little League International rules.

Little League Baseball League Age is the actual age of a child on August 31 of the current year.

Little League Softball League Age is the actual age of a child on December 31 of the previous year.

Players are placed in divisions based on their League Age. A player's League Age can be different than their actual age. Please use the League Age Determination calculator to determine their league age.
