The Little League Baseball Division (also known as the Major Division) is for boys and girls ages 10-12.

 

Competitive division for player ages 10-12 Players age 12 shall be selected in the Major Division draft, unless deemed a safety risk. Should a player be deemed a safety risk, that player may be placed on a Minors team. Players age 11 are eligible to be drafted into majors. Not all players age 11 will be drafted into Majors, but players age 11 drafted on a Major team will not have a choice to stay down in Minor. 

 

Twelve year old players MUST attend one of two tryouts in order to be eligible to play for WRLL. Eleven year olds must attend one of two tryouts to be eligible for Majors. If an 11 year old does not attend tryouts, he/she will be placed on a Minors team by random draw.

 

A local league may choose to limit its Major Division to 10-, 11- and 12-year-olds, or 11-12-year-olds. The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond and the pitching distance is 46 feet.

 

The local league has an option to choose a Tournament Team (or "All Stars") of 11-12-year-olds from within this division, and the team may enter the International Tournament.

 

The culmination of the International Tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the world. All expenses for the teams advancing to the World Series (travel, meals and housing) are paid by Little League International.

 

Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in Little League. After completing a Little League volunteer application and passing a required national background check, parents may become involved in practices, and be eligible as coaches, managers, umpires, local league board members and other volunteer positions within the league.
