Which Age Divisions Are Available at LAMVPB This Season?

Updated

For the current season, only Pony-level play remains available at Los Altos-Mountain View Pony Baseball (LAMVPB). All divisions below Pony have been cancelled because the league did not receive enough registrations in those age groups. If your child is 12 or under, LAMVPB is directing families to register with Mountain View Little League or Los Altos Little League instead.

What Changed for the Current Season

In a league announcement dated 01/16/2025, LAMVPB stated that all divisions below Pony are cancelled for the season. The stated reason is a shortage of registered players in the lower divisions — not a change to the league's structure or a permanent closure of those divisions.

The practical effect:

  • Pony division: still offered.
  • All divisions below Pony: cancelled for this season.
  • Players 12 and under: advised to register elsewhere.

Who Should Look at Alternatives

The announcement specifically addresses families whose children are 12 or under. If that describes your player, LAMVPB recommends these two leagues:

  • Mountain View Little League — https://www.mvll.org
  • Los Altos Little League — https://www.losaltoslittleleague.com

Both are named directly in the LAMVPB announcement as the recommended options for younger players this season.

Registration Details Referenced by the League

LAMVPB opened registration for the 2025 spring season on 10/14/2024, with the plan to accept registrations through February, form teams, and start play in early March. The league also notes that economic assistance is available for families who need it.

If you are registering a Pony-eligible player, use the registration link published on the league site rather than an older season's link — the 2024 and 2025 registration forms have different URLs.

Quick Reference

Situation What to do
Player is Pony-eligible Register through the current LAMVPB spring registration link

Unsure about division placement Check the league site or contact the league before registering
Cost is a concern Ask the league about economic assistance, which the announcement says is available

What to Verify Before You Register

  • Confirm the current season's registration window, since the league's posted plan (accepting registrations through February) can shift.
  • Confirm your player's division eligibility directly with the league, especially if your child is near the 12-and-under cutoff.
  • If you go the Little League route, check that league's own registration deadlines — they are separate organizations with their own timelines.
