The Little League Baseball Division is also known as the Majors Division.
Ages: SEPLL offers Majors Baseball for participants League Age 10 through 12. Please use the League Age Calculator to determine eligibility.
Please understand that we cannot guarantee players League Age 10 a spot in the Majors Division. Most players age 10 will play in the Minor League Division. A player's placement in the Majors Division is based on several factors including the number of players registered by age group, the number of teams in the division, and player assessments.
If your child is not placed on a team in the Majors Division, they will be placed in the Minor League Division. Final decisions on player placement are determined by the Player Agent and Board.
