Gear

Our league supplies each team manager with catchers gear. Players purchase their own helmets and bats (and several have their own catchers gear in upper divisions). Before you purchase, make sure you read about the required the Little League Rules for bats and helmet modifications. Little League International has put a moratorium on composite bats. More information is provided by your team manager at the beginning of the season.

Little League International Rules

All Players: You will be allowed to register your player in a division according to their birth date. In accordance with Little League International standards, we require proof of residence and will verify all birth dates. The following will be electronically signed during registration: proof of residence, medical waiver form, concussion consent form, and refund policy. Returning players will not be required to provide physical documents for the regular season. However all players selected to an All Star team will be required to provide physical proof of residency documents and an original certified birth certificate.

New Players: You will be required to show a certified birth certificate before your player will be assigned or drafted to a team. A photocopy of a birth certificate is not acceptable. Birth certificates can be ordered from www.vitalchek.com. They usually take 3-5 days to arrive but can take up to 18 business days. New players attending player evaluations must have their birth certificates verified before tryouts. Those who have not shown their birth certificate will not be drafted.

12 Year-old Waiver Rule: Please note that all players league age 12 must be drafted onto a Majors or Junior League team. Parents of 12 year-olds wishing their players to play down in Minors Softball or Baseball must fill out a waiver form and submit it to their Player Agent prior to player evaluations. The waiver request must then be approved by the Board and the District Administrator.
