Baseball Age Calculator

Every organization uses a different cutoff, which is why the age chart you found online may not match the one your league sent. Little League counts your child's age on August 31. AAU, USSSA, Cal Ripken, Babe Ruth and Perfect Game all count it on April 30. Enter one birthday and see all of them at once.

Enter a date of birth to see the league age for every organization at once.

Why there are two different cutoffs

Little League moved its determination date to August 31 so that a player's league age matches the season they finish, rather than the one they start. The travel organizations kept the older spring date. The result is a real overlap: a child born in June can be 11 for town ball and 12 for travel ball in the same calendar year.

This matters most at the edges. If your child's birthday falls between May 1 and August 31, check both numbers before you register — it is the most common reason a family ends up on the wrong roster.

Cutoff dates are published by each organization and occasionally change. Always confirm with your league before registering.
