*Detailed breakdowns for each division are below
Although each division has ages associated, placement is determined by skill assessment of the individual player. Skill assessment is conducted by League officials and coaches at an annual tryout session. If you believe your child should play up or down a division, or if you have questions about the division that is best for your player, please contact the League Player Agent to discuss the situation and get registered in the proper division. Note that not all divisions are formed each year - it entirely depends on if there are enough players registered to field a team.
To determine your child's league age, please reference the Softball Little League Age Chart. You can also use this handy Little League Age Calculator.

Two to three events per week, each 1.5 hours, as weather and daylight allow. Players receive a jersey and socks. The 89ers division utilizes a 35-foot pitching distance and a 60-foot base path.

This level is for players that have at least 1 year of experience in rookies or possess a more advanced level of hand eye coordination and the capacity to follow safety guidelines. Players begin to pitch at this level, though game time scenarios sometimes require a coach to pitch. Players at this level begin to learn how to steal bases. First-year players that are league-age 8 should play in Rookies to build skillset before coming to 89ers. Players registered for 89ers are required to attend tryouts. This division does involve a draft, but all players will be placed on a team in the appropriate division based on their skillset. 89ers is the first year a player can be eligible for All-Stars. If the player attends tryouts, meets Little League International requirements and District requirements, they may receive an invitation from our league to tryout for All-Stars.
