Know Your "League Age"
To determine the division in which your child will play, Little League® has defined your child's League Age based upon your child's birth month and year.
Below are the 2025 charts to determine your child's League Age.

Exceptions regarding League Age are handled on a case-by-case basis and granted in extraordinary circumstances only. Considerations include not only the situation with your child, but also any impact of the exception on the other kids, parents, coaches, etc. Out of respect to the league volunteers' time and energy, please consider strongly any perceived "need" for HCLL to except your child's prescribed League Age before contacting us to request an exception. We very much appreciate it; know that we have made exceptions in the past, when warranted.
