Milton American adheres to Cal Ripken age guidelines. All players are expected to play in their age-appropriate division from T-Ball through Minors/Majors.
In certain cases, the Milton American Board may consider requests for players to "Play up" to a division intended for older children.
The Board’s decision-making process has two main guidelines:
- Is there room to accommodate the play up without adversely impacting the experience of the players in their age-appropriate division?
- Is it safe for the younger player to compete with older, and potentially larger, players?
Please note the following without exception (May 1 in any year shall be the deciding date):
- Children younger than 4 years of age cannot play up to T-Ball.
- 9-year-olds (per Cal Ripken Age Guidelines) cannot play in the Majors/Minors.
To request a Play Up: parents should register for their child’s appropriate age division and then complete the form below. All Play-up requests will be reviewed by the Board and the families will be promptly notified of the Board’s determination.
