Wayne Little League Goals

Wayne Little League is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a safe, instructional and fun environment for children ages 4-16. Chartered under the umbrella of Little League International, Inc, and Little League District 2 of New Jersey, we share a mission to "to promote, develop, supervise, and voluntarily assist in all lawful ways, the interest of those who will participate in Little League Baseball."    The player ages listed under the various programs below are typical player ages that parents/guardians may use to determine what program to register their child for.  When registering, parents may also indicate unique, special circumstances they want our League to consider when determining placement of that player into a certain division of play.  The League will review what division is indicated on the player registration form, but the League makes its division placement decisions based upon a number of factors and that also includes the player age, safety and skills evaluation, etc.
