Cohasset Youth Baseball and Softball Association - CYBSA

AGE/LEAGUE REGISTRATION GUIDE

We often get questions regarding which league you should register your son or daughter.

Unlike some other youth sports programs, for baseball the CYBSA is an "age" based program, as opposed to "grade" base. We hope the following guide to Little League age requirements is helpful to you.

BASEBALL :

LEAGUE:                        AGE BY OR ON 4/30/12:                        AGES:

Farm                             No younger than 5, no older than 6          5-6

National League              No younger than 6, no older than 8           6-8

American League             No younger than 9, no older than 11         9-11

Major League*                No younger than 10, no older than 12       10-12

Junior League                 No younger than 13, no older than 14       13-14

(*Players try out and are selected for the Major League)

While our softball program has general age guidelines, we do break up our teams based on grades.  Please see the guide below.
