We at District 13 Little League are so excited for the upcoming year! We are looking forward to increased numbers in our registration cycle (it’s looking pretty good!) and wanted to talk to parents about the upcoming season and processes in Little League. This all good info and is going to be put up on the District website within a couple of days. Read the whole email, it’s good! AND DON’T FORGET – NOW IS THE TIME TO GET ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO REGISTER TOO!!!

First is Registration

This year is the first year that there is a complete end-to-end registration process that is centralized and online for Little League. This makes it easy to sign up your players and the registration system Little League International has implemented is set up so leagues can manage their players, resources, and provide the families better service and clarity in their Little League careers.

Little League registrations usually go on through the end of February, sometimes into March, and several in our area begin as early as last December!

Check the district website if you don’t know who to talk to in your area about teams, coaching, costs, etc. All the leagues are listed there. Get registered early AND pitch in and VOLUNTEER WITH YOUR LEAGUE. Little League is a community that bands together to teach life lessons through baseball. Be a part of it. You have valuable skills and input even if you don’t know the first thing about baseball…

Additionally a couple years ago, Little League changed the rules on what you can do within and outside of boundaries as far as which league you can affiliate with. If you are league age 7 or under, you can choose any league you like to play in, not necessarily the one whose boundaries you live in or go to school in. When you turn league age 8 you need to pick a league to stay in, but before that you can technically sample them all! Also siblings can follow a younger player. So if you have an older sibling player and they want to play in the same league a younger player is playing in, they can!
