Understanding the Travel Baseball 2025 Age Chart
The Travel Baseball 2025 Age Chart is your go-to guide for determining the correct division for your player based on their birthdate. Travel baseball divisions are organized by age to ensure fair competition and development opportunities for players of similar ages and skill levels.
How to Use the Age Chart
- Find Your Player’s Birth Month and Year:
- Look for your player’s birth year in the chart.
- Match it with their birth month to locate their age division for the 2025 season.
- Understand the Cutoff Date:
- Travel baseball typically uses a May 1 cutoff date. Players are assigned to divisions based on their age as of April 30, 2025.
- For example, if your player turns 12 before April 30, they will be in the 12U division. If they turn 12 after April 30, they remain in the 11U division.
- Select the Correct Division:
- Use the age division listed on the chart to register your player for the appropriate team or tournament.
