FAQ

This is the page where we will keep our frequently asked questions. Unfortunately, there are not very many questions so far, and even fewer answers. But you can help. If you have another question you'd like to see added to this list; or, even better still, if you can provide an answer to one of these questions, simply send an email to the webmaster and we will try to get an answer posted here.

You can no longer post comments on this page. Here is why.

Q: When is registration?

Q: What are the ages for the various leagues?
Naturally, it's complicated. The easiest thing to do is to use the Little League Age Calculator (I kid you not) to detemine your child's Little League age for the season. Once you go through it, they will show you a list of eligible ages for each league. Here are some more details on the various leagues.

Q: I'm a coach and I want to reserve the practice field or the batting cages. Where do I do that?
A: You do that from....(drum roll please)....the Coaches pages. For future reference, there's a link to that from the menu bar across the top.

Q: How do they choose people for all-stars?
A: The teams are chosen from a ballot derived from the players that the kids nominated for the family day All Star Teams. Coaches may add a player if they felt he may have been overlooked and in the cases of the top teams in the standings, maybe even more than 1. The vote is by Internet with a short response time, so that there is not an opportunity to collude. Since we have gone to this system we have had successful results, with both teams in the final 4 the last 2 years and close to that the prior three.
