What does thismean formy child?
Depending on themonth and year of your child’s birth, their “league age” and eligibility statusmay
change, impacting the levels inwhich your child is eligible to play. Straight fromWilliamsport:
As a result of this recent adjustment to the implementation strategy, effective immediately, any player born on or after January 1, 2006who
will
turn the ages of 4-9during the 2015 calendar year
will be eligible toparticipate in a local LittleLeague program andwill use the

for the 2015,
2016, and2017 seasons. In 2018 all players born prior to January 1, 2006will begin utilizingDecember 31 as their age determination date.
