League Age Determination:

A player's 'league age' is determined by the official little league date of:

Softball - January 1st
Baseball - August 31st

Whatever your player’s age is on the respective date above is the players 'league age' for the current season. Softball is pretty easy to calculate since it resets on the 1st of the year; however, baseball is a bit trickier being that it is based on a August 31st cutoff date.

League Age Example for Baseball

As of today's date, your child is currently 10 years old and his birthday is August 21st. Even though he is currently 10 years old, he is considered to be 11 years old for his league age because his birthday is BEFORE the August 31st date. If he was born on Sept. 1st, he would be considered to be 10 years old league age. Therefore, in this example, your child would be eligible for the Majors Baseball (12U) division and NOT the Minor 2 - Kid Pitch (10U) division.

League Age Example for Softball

Because Softball league age is determined based on a Jan. 1st date, how ever old you daughter is as of today's date is her league age. See I told you softball was easy, I wish they made it that easy for baseball!

Practices Start

All divisions will have practices starting sometime around spring break up until opening day, April 20th, 2024. After the season starts, there will only be games due to field availability. Coaches schedule their own practice dates and times although most will schedule 2 practices per week for the 2 weeks before the season starts.

PLEASE NOTE THAT PRACTICES ARE SCHEDULED BY COACHES, SO DAYS WILL VARY.

Games Schedules
All Home games are played at Huff Park with the exception of Juniors Baseball which plays at Hillcrest Park and/or Riverside Park. Interleague games between various local Little Leagues will be played for Minor 1 - Coach Pitch and above divisions. Some games may be away games for your team. Games schedules will be posted Mid April.

Softball Games - Scheduling
Softball games are played on City owned fields. As such, we need to work around Rec League Softball schedules for availability. Depending on the division, softball games will be played Mon-Thu evenings and Saturday mornings/early afternoon. Most divisions will follow a Mon/Wed/Sat or Tues/Thu/Sat schedule; however, that is subject to change based on field availability.

Baseball Games - Scheduling

Depending on the division, games will be played Mon-Thu evenings and Saturday mornings/early afternoon. Most divisions will follow a Mon/Wed/Sat or Tues/Thu/Sat schedule; however, that is subject to change.

Notes:

The designations of 7U, 8U, 10U, 12U, 14U represent the max age of the division, so for example, 10U would mean that the player must be 10 years old or younger as of the player's league age outlined above, 12U means 12 years old or younger, etc.

Please note that Tee Ball is a co-ed division and played as baseball.
