2023 Spring Baseball

Welcome to Eastview Little League Spring 2023 Baseball,

Eastview Little League offers baseball for league ages 4-15 in divisions that are based upon "League Age". League age is determined by Little League International and can be found by using the age chart attached below. Please note that League Age is not necessarily the same "age" of your player. Little League encourages players to ascend through division play and not skip or "play up" a division. For more information, see detailed division descriptions below.
