Registration Information

What Age Is My Player?
Little League Age is determined with different ranges for Baseball and Softball. Here is the breakdown to identify your child's league age:




Am I eligible to play in Northshore Little League based on where I live?
Eligibility for Little League can be determined by your home address or by where your player(s) attends school. If either of those are within our Little League's boundary, you are eligible. This means your player can play with their classmates. Our registration will request proof of residency to determine eligibility. HOWEVER, this is not required to sign up to play and is primarily used for All-Star eligibility.

Divisions

Tee Ball Division Description:

The Tee Ball division is the entry-level program for Little League, designed for children aged 4 to 7. This division focuses on introducing young players to the basics of baseball and softball in a fun, engaging, and supportive environment. Here are some key aspects of the Tee Ball division:

  • Age Group: 4 to 7 years old.

  • Focus: Fun, fitness, and fundamentals.

  • Structure: Players hit the ball off a tee, and every player gets a chance to bat and play in the field each inning.

  • Goals: To help children learn the basic skills of the game, develop good sportsmanship, and foster a love for baseball and softball.

This program is often a family’s first introduction to Little League, making it a crucial step in growing a child’s interest and love for the game.

 

Coach Pitch (AA) Division Description:

The Little League® Coach Pitch Division is designed for younger players, typically ages 7 and 8, who have some experience with Tee Ball and are ready to start hitting a ball pitched by a coach. This division focuses on the fundamentals of baseball, aiming to build a solid foundation for becoming a successful ballplayer. Here are some key aspects:

  • Age Group: 7 to 8 years old.

  • Focus: Fundamentals of hitting, fielding, and base running.

  • Structure: Players receive pitches from one of their coaches instead of an opposing player, which helps them develop confidence and improve their hitting skills.

  • Goals: To enhance basic skills, promote teamwork, and foster a love for the game.

This division is a great way for young players to transition from Tee Ball to more advanced levels of play while still enjoying a supportive and fun environment.

 

AAA/Player Pitch Division Description:

The AAA and Player Pitch Division in Little League is designed for players who are ready to experience a higher level of competition and more advanced gameplay. Here are the key aspects of this division: 

  • Age Group: Typically for players aged 8 to 11. 

  • Pitching: Players pitch every inning, which helps them develop their pitching skills and understand the dynamics of the game better. 

  • Competition: This division introduces a more competitive environment where standings are kept, and there is usually a playoff at the end of the season. 

  • Skill Development: Emphasis on refining skills such as pitching, hitting, fielding, and base running. Defensive positioning becomes more specialized, and not all players will play all positions. 

  • Team Selection: Teams are often selected through a skills assessment and draft process to ensure balanced competition. 

  • Instructional Focus: While the division is competitive, it still maintains an instructional approach to help players improve their skills and understanding of the game. 

This division is a great way for young players to transition from the more instructional levels of Little League to a more competitive and skill-focused environment.


Majors Division Description:

The Little League Majors Baseball Division, also known as the Major Division, is designed for players aged 9 to 12. This division represents a more competitive level of play and focuses on refining basic skills and learning higher-level game strategies. Here are some key aspects: 

  • Age Group: 9 to 12 years old. 

  • Field Dimensions: The diamond used is a 60-foot diamond with a pitching distance of 46 feet. 

  • Competition Level: This is the most competitive division in Little League, and it often includes a Tournament Team (or “All Stars”) that can enter the Little League International Tournament. The culmination of this tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series. 

  • Skill Development: Emphasis on refining skills such as pitching, hitting, fielding, and base running. Players often begin to specialize in specific positions. 

  • Team Selection: Players are typically selected through a skills assessment and draft process to ensure balanced teams. 

This division provides a great opportunity for young players to experience a higher level of competition while continuing to develop their skills and love for the game.
