Woodcreek Little League Divisions & Age
Chart
Use the Little League age chart to see what "League Age" your player is. "League Age" is based on the player's age on August 31st.
Then scroll down further to see what division they would qualify for.
T-Ball Division: Instructional division for player ages 4-6. Player must be age 4 by August 31st the year of playing season. No scores or league standings are maintained. A tee will be used for the entire season.
Farm Division: Instructional division for players ages 7-8. (EXCEPTION: Players who are league age 6 are permitted to advance to Farm after participation in T-Ball for at least one Spring season if space allows, or if the child played Fall T-Ball and the parent is willing to manage a team, or the player agent may elect to move a child up for safety reason.) Players age 6 whose parents are managing or coaching will be given priority. No scores or league standings are maintained. Coach pitch/ tee will be used for the entire season.
Minor AA Division: Instructional division for player ages 8-9 (EXCEPTION: Players who are league age 7 are permitted to advance to Minor AA after participation in the Farm Division for at least one Spring season and who are drafted after attending tryouts). Players are drafted to teams based on a pre-season tryout. The Minor AA Division is an instructional level, operated under a competitive format, but with the focus of skill development. The primary difference in Minor AA, from Minor AAA, is that coaches may be on the field during the 1st half and provide skills development for players during the game. In addition, there are no regular season standings as compared to AAA. Any player missing tryouts who is league age 9 will automatically be placed in the Minor AA. Minor AAA may obtain injury/replacement players from Minor AA during the season (refer to Little League rules / Local League rules "Bylaws" for further guidance). A complete division bracket for our end of the season "Fun Festival" will be based on a random hat draw seeding for AA.
Minor AAA Division: Instructional, yet competitive division for player ages 9-11 (EXCEPTION: Players who are league age 8 are permitted to advance to Minor AAA, after attending tryouts and WHO ARE DRAFTED TO PLAY IN AAA.) Regular season standings will be kept. Players are drafted to teams based on a preseason tryout. Any player missing tryouts who is league age 10 or 11 will automatically be placed in the Minor AAA division. Any player missing tryouts who is league age 9 will automatically be placed in the Minor AA division. Majors may obtain injury/replacement players from Minor AAA during the season (refer to Little League rules / Local League rules "Bylaws" for further guidance). Gold & Silver bracket seeding for our end of the season "Fun Festival" will be based on regular season standings.
Major Division: Competitive division for player ages 10-12. Scores and standings are posted. Players are placed on teams based on returning "franchised" status, or drafted based on a pre-season tryout. (Majors will redraft for 2023, no “franchise” players will be placed on a team without trying out). Players age 12 must be selected in the Majors draft, unless approval is obtained from District 54, Regulation V(a) Waiver, for his/her placement in the Minors AAA division. All Players who are league ages 10-11 are eligible to be drafted or "called up" to Majors (EXCEPTION: A Player ages 10-11 can declare PRIOR to tryouts that s/he is not eligible for Majors). NOT ALL PLAYERS AGES 10-11 WILL BE DRAFTED INTO MAJORS. Once drafted into Majors, a Player ages 10-11 CANNOT refuse to play Majors and play in Minor AAA. If a Player ages 10-11 is ineligible for Majors or refuses a "call up" to Majors, they will not be eligible for All-Star Try Outs. Non-franchise players age 12 must tryout or they will be ineligible to play for the season. (EXCEPTION: A player who is unable to make tryouts, and who has been approved by the Board of directors to still qualify for the draft, due to a circumstance that is approved 7 calendar days prior to the last tryout date, will be placed on the list of potential Majors players to be drafted from).
50/70 Intermediate Division: Competitive division for players age 11-13. Scores and standings are posted. The 50/70 intermediate division will redraft each year and players will be placed on teams based on a pre-season tryout (as long as there are enough players signed up to have more than 1 team). All 13 year olds who try out for 50/70 will be drafted onto a 50/70 team. Games for 50/70 WILL NOT be at Mahany. There will be limited spots available based on number of teams, number of 13 year olds who try out for 50/70, field availability given by the city and the number of teams able to participate in an inter-league schedule.
Junior Division: Competitive division for players age 13-14. Scores and standings are posted. The Juniors division will redraft each year and players will be placed on teams based on a pre-season tryout. Players playing High School ball will be equally distributed across all teams
Senior Division: Competitive division for players age 14-16. Scores and standings are posted. The Senior division will redraft each year and players will be placed on teams based on a pre-season tryout. Typically, there is not more than one team in Seniors. If the number of sign-ups for Seniors falls between more than one team and not enough for a 2nd team, the WLL board will look to combine players from WLL and other leagues to create a 2nd team. If there are not enough players for one team, we will look to combine with other leagues in our area.
