Majors baseball is the most competitive Little League division. A Tournament Team (or “All Stars”) from this division may enter the Little League International Tournament at the end of the season. This culmination of this tournament is the Little League Baseball World Series, featuring teams from around the world.

In Majors, players tend to specialize at particular defensive positions, even during the regular season. Although this of course helps coaches field competitive teams for interlocking play, the main reason is to protect children from physical injury and embarrassing or unpleasant experiences.

A child who is new to baseball but hoping to play Majors is required to attend an assessment in order to verify that their skill level is high enough to ensure their safety during practices and games.

The Minors level is generally open to Majors-age players who are still learning baseball fundamentals.
