Little League Age 14
At 14, players in 14U (Junior League) play on Auckland’s local 80ft-base, 54ft-pitching diamond — a genuine step up from 13U, and another year closer to a full adult field.
New to the game?
14U is where new players at this age should start.
More experienced?
Players ready for a bigger step can also play 16U, on a full-size adult diamond. 14U plays in the afternoon and 16U in the morning, so it’s genuinely possible to play both on the same Saturday without a scheduling clash. Both grades run up to 2.5 hours.
Playing up a year
Female players may also choose to play 13U instead, at their own preference.
The All-Stars pathway
At Little League age 14, players are eligible to trial for the 14U (Junior) All-Stars. The pathway runs through three stages: win the New Zealand District to become New Zealand Little League, win the Asia-Pacific & Middle East Regional to become Asia-Pacific Little League, then head to the Little League World Series itself in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Regional has mostly been hosted in Hwaseong, South Korea in recent years.
