What is League Age?
Your player’s league age is determined by the Little League Softball® Age Chart and determines the division in which your Little Leaguer will play this season. The Age Determination Date for a Little League Softball player is the actual age of a child on December 31 of the previous year.
For our Spring 2026 seasons, we go by the charts below to determine league age according to birth month and year.
You can also use our online calculator to determine your athlete's league age and their division placement.
Divisions of Play:
Little League Softball registration is for girls ages 4 through 12 (determined by player's age as indicated in the Age Chart above). The divisions of play are offered are:
