How divisions work
- Players are placed mainly by skill level, within Little League age rules. Check your player’s league age.
- Every division except Tee Ball holds player evaluations, then a draft. Scores and standings are kept.
- Outside Tee Ball, requests to play with friends can’t be honored.
- Requests to practice or play on specific days can’t be honored in any division.
