"Fifty years from now ... ... perhaps even just a moment away ...
it won't matter who struck out, who got a home run, or who dropped a fly ball
in your Little League game, but the world will be a better place because
YOU
took the time to
Make A Positive Difference in the life of at least One Child! "
For both Adults and Youth involved in Little League® - where the focus is appropriately on Child Development and ALL the kids are playing our heartstrings - there is an abundance of avenues and opportunities to make a positive difference!
Make "Best Use" of each and every moment you're gifted with ...
that ONE moment may be your only opportunity with that particular child !

Because Little League ® is a "young program" to the area District 9 serves, this website is created and maintained in a slightly different fashion than most "local" or district Little League sites. As administrators of this site, our focus is on educating and informing folks about what it is about Little League that makes it unique from other programs they may have available to them when considering participation for their child or for themselves as a volunteer. In browsing the site, we hope you'll "catch the bug" and "jump on the bandwagon" of "Little League Baseball and Softball" - a program "For Every Child."
LITTLE LEAGUE® BASEBALL & SOFTBALL's * Oregon District 9 * currently serves families (youth ages 4 through 18) across Lane and north Douglas Counties with "conventional" teams in
Note : Tee-Ball is generally ages 4-7. Minors is generally ages 7-11. The "Minors" for both Baseball and Softball is chartered as a fully instructional division. The "Major" division continues "instructional" play with a more competitive environment and generally includes youth ages 9-12. The Junior (13-14), Senior (14-16), and Big League (16-18) divisions are even more competitive. Girls' Softball has a slightly different age structure. For Baseball, as players move to the Junior division, the basepath changes from a 60' to a 90' basepath with a longer pitching distance. The 2010 Season includes a Nnationwide Pilot Program for 12 & 13 year olds only. As of this date, 3 of our 5 leagues have committed to participation. A child's "league age" for participation in Tee-Ball and Baseball is determined by the child's age on April 30th of the current year. For Girls' Softball, in line with other softball programs, the players "league age" is that of the player on the immediate prior December 31st.

Most of our local leagues hold registrations beginning in mid-to-late January, and end by early March. "Regular Season" generally begins with practices and games in mid-to-late March and ending in mid-June for most age levels. A "Fall Ball" or "training and development" program may be set up by area leagues to encourage ongoing participation and skill development for interested youth - and to help keep youth 'occupied." in a healthy, active activity!
