Little League


Little League

Baseball is not just for big kids, but for little ones as well. Little League baseball gives kids from as young as five to as old as 18 the chance to learn how to play the game and then compete at a variety of levels.

About Little League

The Little League World Series consists of 16 teams—8 from the United States, and 8 from other countries. Prior to 2001 there were eight teams in the LLWS: four U.S. teams (Central, South, East, and West) and four international (Canada, Latin America, Europe, and the Far East). It should be noted that in 1975 there were only four teams in the LLWS, all from the United States. The international teams returned in 1976.

On April 14, 2010, Little League announced[3] that starting in 2010, round robin play would be replaced by a double-elimination bracket in each pool.

Sixteen teams are involved in the tournament, 8 from regions within the United States and eight international teams. The breakdown in the United States is as follows:

- New England (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT)
- Mid-Atlantic (PA, NY, NJ, MD, DC, DE)
- Midwest (ND/SD, NE, KS, MN, IA, MO)
- Great Lakes (MI, WI, OH, IN, IL, KY)
- Southeast (VA, WV, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN)
- Southwest (MS, LA, AR, TX East, TX West, OK, CO, NM)
- Northwest (AK, WA, OR, ID, MT, WY)
- West (AZ, NV, UT, CA Northern, CA Southern, HI)

The eight divisions which compete in the International Bracket are as follows: Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Latin America, Japan, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and MEA (Middle East–Africa).
