Frequent Asked Questions
- How are Majors teams formed? Per Little League rules, all Majors teams are formed through a draft overseen by the league’s Player Agent. ‘Property players’ are players that played last season in Majors. Property players return to the same team and are not subject to the draft. All other eligible players are added via the draft until rosters for all Majors teams are full. All players not selected in the Majors draft will be placed in Minors for the season.
- Does my player need to tryout? “Property players” (i.e. returning players) do not need to attend player tryouts. Per Little League rules all other eligible players who wish to enter the Majors draft must attend tryouts. This includes 12u league age players.
- How are managers selected for the Majors Division? All Majors managers are approved by the MLL Board of Directors each season.
