What do I need to register?
Our online system allows you to upload a copy of your player's birth certificate and your proof of residency.
1. Player's birth certificate.
We need to see the original government-issued certificate, we will not keep the certificate, but rather need to verify the player's age.
2. Proof of residence
Proof of Residence must be established and supported by documents from THREE OR MORE of the following:
Driver’s License, Voter Registration, School records, State records, Federal records, Support payment records, Homeowner or tenant records, Utility bills, financial records, Insurance records, Medical records, Military records, Internet, cable or satellite records and/or Vehicle records.
Note: Example-Three utility bills (water, gas, electric, phone, sewer, heating, waste disposal) constitute only ONE document.
What if I can't pay the registration fee?
We do not turn any player way. We want all kids to be playing baseball/softball. We will make arrangements based upon financial need. Contact the Director of Registration for information or fill out the T-Mobile Call Up Grant.
What is your refund policy?
If a player registers and is unable to participate refunds will be given based upon the following criteria.
If the player withdraws before teams are formed, then a full refund will be given for registration. Refunds for decals, fundraisers, etc will not be given.
If the player withdraws after the teams have been formed, a refund will not be given.
A parent may petition the board for refunds in extreme or unusual situations. These cases will be reviewed by the board on an individual basis.
I noticed a fundraiser on the Registration, what is this, and what is the money for?
We require that every player participates in a fundraiser. The registration fees cover the cost of the uniforms and equipment for the
players. Additional funds are required for utilities and basic costs of running the league, such as baseballs, repairs to the fields, and other required costs or maintenance.
At NSLL, we strive to maintain the best possible playing environment for the players. We however are in need of funds to make improvements to the fields. The dugouts need to be replaced,
backstop pads need to be fixed, the entire lighting system will need to be replaced in the coming years. We need help to meet the expenses of capital improvements.
We need sponsors to help. If you or your workplace can be a sponsor, please let one of the registration volunteers or an NSLL Board Member know of your
interest
How do I determine my child's league age?
What league should/will my child play in? What are player evaluations?
Little League Baseball is divided into leagues based upon age and playing ability. At NSLL we recommend that players participate as follows:
4-6 T-ball.
Entire roster bats
7-8 Machine pitch (recommended after two Spring seasons of T-ball).
9-12 Little League Baseball (kid pitch) Bases are 60 ft. The pitching mound is 46 ft. Little League is divided into two leagues
13-14 Jr Baseball. - Jr.s have been divided into Major/Minor divisions in recent years.
15-16 Sr. Baseball. Sr baseball has been divided into Major/Minor division in recent years.
17-18 Big League Baseball.
By Little League rules, mandatory playtime for the regular season in every league is two consecutive innings in the field and one at-bat.
Since there may be overlaps in some of the age categories, the player evaluations are used to determine the abilities of players to help better assign them to the proper league.
Can my child play with his friends on the same team? Can I bring a group of players to the league and guarantee that they will be on the same team?
We strive to provide the best baseball experience we can for players. We want to keep teams as evenly matched as possible and therefore can not
guarantee team placement.
At a young age, for T-ball, we try to group players based upon neighborhoods, school attending and will make every attempt to keep friends together. You should mark on your
registration form if there is a certain player your child wants to play with.
At older ages, this will not be allowed because of the draft system and the need to keep talent evenly balanced.
