If they turn 9 on May 1st they will play as an 8 year old in the Minor Rookie League (ages 7-8). You can review the age chart for a detailed breakdown of the age groups.WLL realizes some players may need to make a special request to play up or down a division because of their playing ability. If you would like to make a special request, fill out the Player Movement Request Form and contact the Player Agent to process the request. |
