Local League Boundaries – What Parents Need to Know
One of the key differences that sets Little League apart from many other youth organizations is our boundary regulations, which are specifically designed to maintain that community, hometown spirit. As registrations are held from coast to coast, and beyond, it’s important for parents to better familiarize themselves with these regulations, so they understand exactly what Little League Baseball® offer to kids, families, and communities.
Find My League
Little League has launched a League Finder, where parents can simply enter an address online, and our database will find the league that the address resides in. Visit LittleLeague.org/LeagueFinder to take advantage of this great resource.
League Options for Players
There are three options for where Little Leaguers can play.
- Kids whose primary residence is within the local league’s boundary can play for that hometown league.
- Kids can play for the league where their school is located.
- Kids from divided homes may choose to play in a league in whose boundaries either parent resides.
A player may not participate in more than one Little League program if they are participating in Tee Ball or the Minor Divisions. Players in the Major Division, or any of Little League’s Teenage Divisions, has the option to dual roster. This means a player can play on up to two regular-season teams in the same year. There is also a waiver process, where parents can work with local leagues to provide additional opportunities for a child to participate in a league outside of where they live or go to school.
