'LEAGUE CHOICE'
REGULATION II – LEAGUE BOUNDARIES

LEAGUE AGE 4 – 7 PLAYERS: 

1. ***NEW***LEAGUE CHOICE: Players league age seven (7) and under may register in any Little League program without respect to any geography-related eligibility or school enrollment eligibility requirements.

NOTE: Players registering under this option are fully eligible to participate in all aspects of league play, including International Tournament play, for the duration of their Little League careers provided they have continuous and unbroken participation within the specific league where initially registered and provided all other participation eligibility requirements have been met. 

LEAGUE AGE 8 – 16 PLAYERS:

2. Players who have participated in the league without a break in participation since league age seven (7) are eligible to continue participation in the league provided they maintain continuous and unbroken participation within the league and regular season play.

NOTE: This option only applies to players born on or before September 1, 2017 (Baseball) or January 1, 2017 (Softball). 

3. Each league shall determine actual boundaries of the area from WITHIN which it shall select players. Only those participants whose residence or the physical location of the school where they attend classes is within the boundaries of the league shall be eligible to participate. 

“Residence” and “school attendance,” for the purposes of this regulation, are defined in “Residence and School Attendance Eligibility Requirements.” 

NOTE: Any player not meeting the “Residence and School Attendance Eligibility Requirements” or does not have unbroken participation within a league from league age seven (7) in accordance with Regulation II (a)(2) must have an approved waiver issued by the Charter Committee at Little League International. All waiver requests to the Charter Committee must be submitted and approved in writing by the league president before the start of the league’s regular season or June 1, whichever occurs first. Requests must be submitted to the regional office through the District Administrator. Failure to properly document compliance with the “Residence and School Attendance Player Eligibility Requirements” and/or player registration data specific to league age 7 and under players or obtain a waiver through the Charter Committee may result in the disqualification of a player, team, or entire league from regular season and/or tournament play.

Q: What equipment does my child need to play Little League?
A: At a minimum, your child will need an appropriately sized baseball glove and baseball pants (grey, white, or black).  These can be purchased at most big box stores in the area or online.  While you're at it, picking up a belt, colored baseball socks, and (non-metal) Rubber-molded spikes / cleats would also be a sound investment for Majors and below.  Intermediate/Junior/Senior Divisions may wear metal cleats.

THE LEAGUE SUPPLIES YOUR PLAYER A TEAM JERSEY AND HAT AS PART OF REGISTRATION FEES.

REQUIREMENT FOR BOYS:
All boys must wear an athletic supporter.  This MUST be worn to all baseball activities including evaluations, practices, and games.

'NICE TO HAVE' EQUIPMENT
While the league can provide a bat and helmet to each team, many parents prefer their player to have a bat and helmet of their own.

BAT: An age appropriate T-Ball bat or for Single A through Juniors (6yr - 14yr) a baseball bat bearing the USA Baseball stamp.  For more information on bats Click Here.

HELMET:
- CNLL strongly suggests all players entering the batter's box in the Double AA Division to have an attached wire mask.
- Helmets can not be of reflective material and can NOT be altered in any way including painting, marking with sharpie, or with stickers.  All padding must be secured in place and not dangling.

The league provides each team with batting helmets and catcher gear.  Players may bring their own bats, helmets, and catcher's equipment if they choose, but are not required to furnish these items themselves.
