How do I know which level of play is appropriate for my child?
 

In general, your child should play based on their little league age range (info below). Based on baseball ability, your child could be placed one level up or down. 

What is the draft? 

For AAA and Majors, FCLL builds teams for the spring season via a draft. All of the players attend an evaluation session in January.  Afterwards, managers of each division draft players one round at a time. It is up to the manager to select a participant for any given division. The league can't guarantee a participant will be chosen to any specific division. However, every player will be selected for a team.  For other divisions, teams are built by the league, taking into consideration balanced teams and buddy requests.

What is the difference between Age and Baseball Age? 

Baseball age is set by Little League International and is the age your child will be as of August 31. This means that some kids will have an older baseball age than their actual current age.  See the 2025 Little League Age Chart.

If we live outside of the boundary for Foster City, can my child still play in your league?

Starting with the 2025 season, children at the youngest level of Little League Baseball (League Age 4-7) will have the ability to register for any Little League program they choose, without respect to any geography- or school-related eligibility requirements. Those players who register under this option will also be fully eligible to participate in all aspects of league play, including International Tournament play, for the duration of their Little League careers provided they have continuous and unbroken participation from the time they are League Age seven within the specific league where initially registered and provided all other participation eligibility requirements have been met.

Players League Age 8 or older as of the 2025 season (born before September 1, 2017 for Baseball) will continue to utilize the current boundary requirement based on residency or school enrollment. Opportunities and waivers will continue to be available as an option for players should they be interested in switching leagues that are outside of these requirements, based on approval and potential stipulations from the Little League International Charter Committee.
