KAU Little League offers a great youth sports option for our local community. KAU is open to players who reside in or attend public or private school within the geographic boundaries of both Unionville-Chadds Ford and Kennett Consolidated School Districts. Our programs are designed for players of all skill levels and age groups. Our priority is to develop fundamental baseball and softball skills and outstanding sportsmanship in our players.

We rely on a player's "league age" for determination of division age ranges. For the 2023 Spring Softball season we are basing this on the 2023 Age Chart published by Little League. 2023 Softball League Age Chart. Each team will have players that are similar in age. Please see division descriptions below for age ranges.
