Bend North Little League Baseball
Bend North Baseball strives to provide a positive recreation and developmental baseball program for the boys and girls age 5-14 in our community. We strive to make our league's environment conducive to developing an attitude of wholesome sportsmanship and respect for fellow teammates. Playing baseball encourages boys and girls to become physically and mentally fit, build confidence & self-esteem.
Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.League Age
Little League Baseball uses what is called "league age" to determine player's age and recommended division. School grade or other factors are not considered when placing players in the recommended division. This is determined based on the age of the player on August 31st.
Please see the chart below to see which division your child will be playing in: League Age

Skills Assessment & League Draft
Players in AA, AAA, Majors, and Juniors are required to attend a skills assessment before the start of each season to provide managers an opportunity to evaluate players' strengths and weaknesses before the player draft. These are not tryouts, and there are no cuts; all players will be assigned to a team. The assessment helps Bend North Baseball create balanced teams for a fun and competitive season for all players.Regular Season
