What is League Age?

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. The Age Determination Date for a Little League Baseball player is the actual age of a child on August 31 of the current year. The Age Determination Date for a Little League Softball player is the actual age of a child on December 31 of the previous year.

At Spotsylvania County Little League, we use next Spring’s league age for the Fall season. This approach reflects the developmental focus of Fall play, giving athletes the opportunity to gain experience at the division they’ll play the next Spring.
This means that for Fall baseball, a player’s league age is based on their age as of August 31 of the following year, while for Fall softball, it’s based on their age as of December 31 of the current year.
