Player placement into divisions, in particular for AA, AAA and Majors, is done in accordance with the WMLL Bylaws at the discretion of the Player Agent in consultation with Division Commissioners.

T-ball (Little League Ages 5-6)

For all 5 year-olds and first-year 6 year-olds. T-ball introduces young players to team play and the rules of baseball. We try to arrange teams by schools and consider player requests to play with friends. T-ball includes one practice (usually at a RSVD school or local field) and one game per week. (Please note that many 4 year-olds will be league-age 5 and eligible to play T-ball.)

Entering Farm (Little League Ages 6-7)

For 6 year-olds with one year of T-ball and 7 year-olds who would prefer to focus on more basic baseball fundamentals in a coach pitch environment. We try to arrange teams by schools and consider player requests to play with friends. Entering Farm includes one practice (usually at a RSVD school or local field) and two games per week.

Returning Farm (Little League Ages 7-8)

For most 7 year-olds with experience, and 8-year-olds who would prefer another season of coach pitch. We try to arrange teams by schools and consider player requests to play with friends. Returning Farm includes one practice (usually at a RSVD school or local field) and two games per week. If you believe your 8-year-old would benefit from playing the next division up (Minors AA), please be sure to attend the Minors assessment day in January.

Minors AA (Little League Ages 8-10)

Minors AA - Little League Ages 8-10. For skilled 8 year-olds, most 9 year-olds, and some 10-year-olds who would benefit from additional instruction. Players are drafted by managers and coaches to teams based on assessment and player evaluations from prior season(s). Little League Baseball rules are in effect. Pitching is by opposing team players using a regulation, Little League-approved hardball, with some coach-pitch intervention to keep games moving. Team standings are recorded and a playoff at the end of the season determines the champion. Please note that 8 year-olds wishing to be considered for AA must attend assessments.

Minors AAA (Little League Ages 9-11)

For skilled 9 year-olds, most 10 year-olds, and some 11 year-olds who would benefit from additional instruction before Majors.

Pitching is by opposing team players using a regulation, Little League-approved hardball. Standings, championships, and All-Star tournament play are part of the program.

Majors (Little League Ages 10-12)

The showcase division for Little League, Majors is primarily for league age 11 and 12 year-olds (and highly skilled 10-year-olds with approval, please refer to WMLL bylaws). Final placement in the division is based on player assessment. Players are drafted by managers and coaches to teams based on assessment and player evaluations from prior season(s).
