"AAA" - BASEBALL (Ages 10-11) This division of Little League promotes a higher level of competition than "AA" and emphasizes more of the standard rules of Little League baseball.
The level of competition for a baseball player, minor league (AAA) is very high, and many players are being groomed for call-up to the major leagues. AAA baseball players are normally under contract with a major league team, but they work for the ownership of the minor league affiliate.
Players who have graduated high school but not attended college are eligible for the draft, as are those who have completed at least one year of junior college. Players attending four-year colleges are eligible to be drafted upon completing their junior year or turning 21 years old.
The four different levels, and one extra division, are as follows, in order from highest and most competitive to the lowest and least competitive level, AAA, also called Triple-A. AA, also called Double-A. High-A, also called Single-A.
Updates made to Regulation II to reflect that starting with the 2025 season, children at the youngest level of the program (League Age 4-7) will have the ability to register for any program they choose, without respect to any geography- or school-related eligibility requirements.
Triple-A is the first fully competitive level in Little League. Game scores are kept for the first time, and our 9- and 10-year-old players experience the highs and lows of wins and losses.
While Triple-A is the highest level in the minor leagues, players may also advance to the major leagues directly from Double-A. For example, within the Toronto Blue Jays organization, 17 position players were promoted from Double-A directly to MLB during 1978–2018; approximately one player every two seasons.
The draft rotation follows the reverse order of finish from the previous season, with the last place team's manager receiving the first pick. For example, in a four-team league, the team that finished last in the previous season would get the 1st, 8th, 9th, and 16th picks through the first four rounds.
This option is commonly referred to as a “blind draft.” Local leagues start by placing the names of all 12-year-olds into a container. Then each manager selects a player from the container until all league age 12-year-olds are taken.
For a child to be a Little Leaguer®, eligibility must first be established by way of residency inside the boundaries of a local Little League®, or the location of the school where the child attends is located inside a local league's boundaries that is approved by Little League Baseball, Incorporated.
