Hello MCLL Families and Friends,

Murphy Canyon Little League would like to welcome all players from league age 4 to 12 to register. We base our player's ages based off of their age on or before August 31st in the calendar year of the current spring season. This "league age", can be referenced at 2024 Little League Age Chart. 

During registration, your player will be registered according to their league age and the corresponding division. We want your player to have fun and succeed, so the division of play is adjustable depending on skill and/or experience. Please note that if a Player desires to stay an extra year in a lower division or try out for a higher division, the player MUST attend both divisions' assessments. This allows our coaching team to determine the best fit. All players are subject to limited spaces available. There are no guarantees of placement for requests. Please email [email protected] with any division questions or requests.

 Uniforms & Equipment:

Registration covers the cost of a jersey, hat, socks, and belt for each registered player. Players will need to provide their own glove and purchase game day baseball pants (color determined by team). Some players choose to use their own batting helmets and bats, but the league will provide bats and helmets as needed. Cleats are strongly recommended to increase traction and reduce the risk of injuries. NO METAL CLEATS will be worn, any plastic or rubber cleats will work.

 Volunteers:

Murphy Canyon Little League consist of active-duty military members, dependents, and family members. We are a non-profit organization that is ran entirely by volunteers. In order for each season to be successful, we rely on volunteer coaches, managers, and umpires. If you are interested in volunteering, please register as a volunteer during the registration processes. If an adult/family member volunteers at registration but fails to volunteer in an official capacity throughout the season, the non-volunteer fee will be applied to their account. (A minimum of 15 hours required).

***** Please note: Registration fees are non-refundable. Registration after January 1, 2024 will incur a late fee of $50.00. ******
