📅 Little League Age Eligibility - 2026 Season

Little League uses August 31 as the age cut-off date for all baseball divisions.

Your child’s “League Age” is how old they are on August 31, 2026 — this determines which division they play in.

2026 Divisions & Birth Years

• T-Ball (Ages 5-6): Born 2019-2021

• 8U Rookie (Ages 7-8): Born 2017-2019

• 10U Minors (Ages 9-10): Born 2015-2017

• 12U Majors (Ages 11-12): Born 2013-2015

• 14U Juniors (Ages 13-14): Born 2011-2013

• 16U Seniors (Ages 15-16): Born 2009-2011

🧢 Example:

If your child turns 12 before August 31, 2026, they play in the Majors Division.

If they turn 12 after August 31, they’re considered League Age 11 and play in Minors.

We look forward to another great season of community baseball and can’t wait to see our players back on the diamonds!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Go Reds!
