One of the most frequently asked questions that we are asked is if my child was born on a certain date, what Little League age is he/she? To be eligible for T-ball a child must be age 4 before Aptil 30th of the calender year. Attached to this article is a link from Little League International that can accurately determine your childs league age. Simply access the League Age Calculator by clicking the link above. Below is the list of age levels and eligibility requirements for each level of Little League.
