Spring - 8 Year Olds


8 Year Olds

At this level of baseball, for the first time, a competitive situation is introduced as score keeping begins. All players will continue to play a variety of positions throughout the season. The emphasis is placed on teaching and advancing a player’s baseball skills and knowledge of the game through various drills. Post-season play is available in the summer and all players are eligible to tryout.

Who Can Play?

Boys and girls “league age” 8 years old. The Age Determination Date for a Little League Baseball player is the actual age of a child as of August 31 of the current year. Use this Age Calculator to determine your child’s league age.
