Frequently Asked Questions and Age Charts
Can I request that my child be placed with a friend?
Siblings will always be placed on the same team. We are not able to accommodate all requests for friends or neighbours to be put on the same team. Remember: each new teammate is an opportunity for a new life-long friend.
What do I need to bring or supply?
Uniforms, bats and catcher's equipment are provided by the league.
Please send your player to the diamond with their own:
- Glove
- Batting helmet
- Comfortable running shoes or cleats
- Jock or Jill
- Water bottle
- Sunscreen
Note that players choosing to bring their own bat must ensure that it has the
USA Baseball logo
to meet Little League standards. Bats with the 'USSSA' logos are not permitted in Little League games.
How do I know what division to register my child for?
The division that a child plays in will be based on their "Little League Age". To determine a player’s "Little League Age", use the age chart below. For Girls Softball (including 8U), please use the Age Chart titled "Little League Softball".
