About North Hunterdon Little League
The NHLL program is a competitive league sanctioned by, and abiding by the rules of Little League Baseball Inc., Williamsport, PA. There are five levels of play at NHLL, ranging in a step-wise progression from Rookie ball to the Major leagues with a team roster of 12 players for each team. Each division, as defined below, consists of an American and National league. In order to participate at the AA, AAA, or Major league level, a player must tryout to be eligible for team selection. Tryouts will be held in late January at North Hunterdon High School.
NHLL is a non-profit organization and relies heavily on the families of the league for their participation and support as volunteers. Please support our program by volunteering.
NHLL fields 10 All-Star teams at the end of its regular season. These teams are chosen based on regular season performance and a try-out. Playing up, at NHLL, does not guarantee a player a spot on an All-Star team. (Example: A player playing as a ten year old in the majors is not guaranteed a spot on the 9-10 year-old All-Star team.). This applies to all age levels.
Major League
Players age 10 to 12 years old are eligible to tryout for Majors. Beginning with the 2008 season, all 12 year olds will automatically be placed in the Major league division. Parents who wish that their 12 year old NOT play in the Majors must notify NHLL in writing prior to the draft. All 11 old players must play in the Major league division if selected. Qualifying 10-year-old players have the option of choosing to play in AAA and not the Majors if they desire. During the season, if for any reason a Major league player is unable to participate, a replacement player will be chosen from the AAA division. (Players interested in playing in the majors, MUST attend a try-out to be ELIGIBLE for this division or he/she will play AAA-Ball).
AAA Division
Players age 9 to 11 years old are eligible to tryout for AAA. The AAA Division plays with the same rules as the Majors except 12 year-old players cannot pitch. Qualifying 9-year-old players have the option of choosing to play in AA and not AAA if they desire. During the season, if for any reason a AAA league player is unable to participate, a replacement player will be chosen from the AA division. (9 year old players interested in playing in AAA MUST attend a try-out to be ELIGIBLE for this division or he/she may play AA- Ball).
AA Division
The AA Division is for those players ages 8-10 (with some 7's). This is a player pitch division. Field limitations may limit the amount of AA teams. As a result, children who do not make a team will be wait-listed and asked to play as openings arise at the AA level during the regular season. (Players age 7 MUST attend a try-out to be ELIGIBLE for this division).
A Division
The A-Ball program has proven to be an excellent transition from our instructional Rookie Ball league to our competitive upper division leagues. This league is for 7 year olds and those 6 year olds who played Rookie Ball at NHLL the previous year. The A-Ball season is mostly a coach pitch division, however some player pitching may occur as well.
Rookie Ball
NHLL welcomes those children participating in the league for the first time. The Rookie League is for 5 and 6 year olds and is an instructional coach pitch program where the T may be used in addition to coach pitching. This program sets the stage for the more competitive years ahead.
All-Star Teams
A select number of players will be invited to participate in NHLL All-Star teams, which will participate in age-specific tournaments (beginning with the 8 year olds) following the close of the regular season. Players are selected for All Star teams based on their playing performance during the regular season, as well as their attitude and sportsmanship. If your child is selected, you will be asked to commit to his/her full participation to ensure that these teams are competitive at the tournament level of play. Typically, All-Star players will have a game or practice on a daily basis from June 15th through August 1st. A full participation commitment is absolutely mandatory for participation on these All Star teams, and you should be aware of this. NHLL's 10 and 12 year All-Star teams participate in the Williamsport Tournament, which culminates in the now-famous Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA in late August of each summer.
