MMLL uses the league age standard to determine eligibility. Little League International publishes an age chart to determine the league age of your child.
League Age Determination
Your player’s league age is determined by the Little League Baseball Age Chart. For Spring 2024, the Age Determination Date for a Little League Baseball player is the actual age of a child on August 31 of 2024.
