New Regulation on 12-Year-Olds

The purpose of the new regulation is to ensure that local leagues are using the Minor Division as a training ground, and not keeping capable 12-year-olds from "moving up."

For those 12-year-olds who may lack the skills to play at the Major Division level, there is a process for allowing them to play in the Minor Division, provided certain conditions are met. (However, the prohibition on 12-year-olds pitching in the Minor Division remains.)

12 year olds that do not want to play in the Major Leagues must submit the waiver form during the application process. The Minor League only box must also be checked on the application.

Information and frequently asked questions concerning the new regulation on 12 year olds can be found at Little League Online.
