The Major Division is for players of league age 9 to 12. Your local league's board may limit it to league ages 10-12 or 11-12.
For Little League Baseball, league age is your child's actual age on August 31 of the current year. For example, a child who turns 12 on or before August 31, 2026 is league age 12 for the 2026 season, even if they were still 11 when the season began.
