Farm League - SVLL's youngest players - league age 5-7. Division includes Tee Ball, Sluggers and Single-A levels. All teams are co-ed.

Upper Divisions - SVLL's oldest players - league age 8 and above. Division includes, Double-A, Triple-A, Coast, Majors, Intermediate and Juniors levels. Players are divided into baseball and softball teams starting at league age 8.

Challenger - SVLL's adaptive baseball program for boys and girls with physical and developmental challenges. Any child ages 5-18, or up to 22 if still enrolled in a school program, with a physical or developmental challenge may participate. All kids are partnered with a "buddy" to assist Challenger athletes in areas of batting, base running and defense, but only as needed. Often buddies are peer athletes who are participating in the Little League baseball or softball programs.

Registration

Q: When and how do I register and when does registration close?

See the registration page for more details.

Q: How are teams formed?

A: Upper Division players are assigned to a team through a Player Draft. All players must attend a skills assessment, which assists our managers in creating balanced and competitive teams. No coach or players requests can be made at this level. Every player will be drafted onto a team.

Farm League teams are formed at random. SVLL Farm League will not grant player requests for specific coaches. We will be assigning players by Elementary School identified in the registration process, to attempt to keep players/teams local.

The only exceptions to this rule are:

• Siblings will play on the same team, unless otherwise requested.
• Managers will always have their child on their team, unless otherwise requested.
• Managers may request up to two additional children to play on their team.

Q: Are there games during Spring Break or Memorial Day weekend?

Q: What division should my child play?

A: Little League uses what is called "league age" to determine a player's recommended division. Their school grade or other factors are not considered when placing players in the recommended division. *Note - there are different league age charts for boys and girls.

Q: What clothing/equipment will my child need?
