What is “League Age”? “League Age” refers to the age of your child according to Little League International's rules. How do I figure it out?
-In baseball, a player's League Age is the age reached before September 1 in any given year.
-In softball, a player's League Age is the age reached by December 31 of the previous year.
-Please click on the link for the League Age Calculator to determine your player's League Age.
Teams will be formed once – 1) Head Coach, 2) Assistant Coach & 3) Manager - roles have been volunteered for.
We cannot form teams without coaches.

(CLICK HERE to see Volunteer Info, Incentives and Requirements)
We need volunteers to sign up and in order to sustain this model. This is a critical call for parents to step up, and to bring Taborvilla the same support that it has provided our community since 1952. It's up to you!
Any player’s parent, family member, trusted family friend, neighbor or other community member can volunteer that completes the Little League International background check – as all league volunteers are required. Little League is only possible with every parent giving something. An incentive discount is given to volunteers for their player.***
Financial Aid is available through T-Mobile's Call Up Grant. Funds are limited each year so act fast!***
