The division that a player is eligible for is determined by their Little League Baseball® and Little League Softball® League Age, which may not be the same as their actual age at the time of registration or during the playing season.
League Age for Baseball and Softball are determined differently, so be sure to use the appropriate chart. A league age calculator and current league age charts can be found here: https://www.littleleague.org/play-little-league/determine-league-age/#agechart
North Portland Little League recommends the following league ages for each division:
T-Ball is recommended for first-time players, league age 4-5
Single-A (formerly Coastal) recommended league age 5-7
Double-A (AA) (formerly Farm) recommended league age 7-8*
Triple-A (AAA) (formerly Minors) recommended league age 9-10**
Majors is recommended for players league age 11-12**
Juniors (softball only) is recommended for players league age 13-14**
*Players who are league age 8 and have multiple years of playing experience may elect to attend evaluations for the AAA division. Players are drafted by coaches based on these evaluations. Young players who are not drafted to a team will be assigned to the AA division.
**Players who are league age 9-14 should register for the division appropriate to their age. All players registered for AAA and above must attend evaluations. Coaches may elect to place players in a division above or below their league age based on the player's readiness and the number of teams formed.
