Division Descriptions
Local Rules are re-evaluated on an annual basis. Detailed rules for Baseball and Softball are posted in the side bar as soon as they have been approved by the CRLL Board of Directors.
Below is a brief description of the CRLL Divisions. Please note that division availability, the number of teams and rosters sizes are based on overall sign-ups. Little League strives to group players of similar ages in the same division outside of other extenuating circumstances.
