2. I have two children in the same division, can they play on the same team?
A: Tee Ball or Machine Pitch, can definitely be on the same team. Please note it in the SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS on each player's registration.
Minors and Majors use a draft pick. Although we always try to keep siblings together in these divisions, there is no guarantee. Please note it in the SPECIAL REQUESTS/COMMENTS on each child's registration as well.
*This is for SIBLINGS only. Please do not make requests for friends to be on the same team.
3. I have two children, 1 boy and 1 girl, in the same division, can they play on the same team?
A: Yes. However, Girls are allowed to play in the baseball league but boys are not allowed to play in the softball league. Please contact us to make this arrangement.
**EXCEPTION - 2025 Tee ball Division will be Coed.**
4. How do I sign up to coach?
A: Upon creating an account, you will be able to register as a volunteer. Please select whether you would like to be a head coach, assistant coach, or team parent. We are always short on coaches and appreciate all who donate their time to our youth.
*Little League requires Background Checks to be run on all volunteers as well as annual Child Abuse Awareness training.
Volunteer application/process is provided during the registration process or by logging into an account created from this site.
5. What equipment does my kid need?
A: Your child will need a glove, baseball pants, cleats (no metal spikes), and water. All boys will be required to wear an athletic cup. Boys will not be eligible to play in Minors/Majors games, nor will Machine Pitch Catcher's without a cup. The league will provide each team with one bat, team helmets. The league also provides each player with a jersey and hat.
*Coaches will pick a pant color, other equipment is optional.
6. What kind of bat can I use?
A: Effective 2018, Little League adopted a new USA Bat standard. Please click on the following link for more information: https://www.littleleague.org/help-center/usa-baseball-bat-standard-faqs/
7. Will there be another showcase/tryout like last year?
A: Yes. The showcase will be held on, Feb 19th. This is NOT a tryout. ALL kids who register will make a team. The showcase gives the coaches an opportunity to see the kids in action. They will hit, field and some may pitch. Our hope is that it will make the teams more evenly matched. It is not mandatory to attend but is very helpful if your kid can be there, especially for new coaches. (Only for players in Minors/Majors Divisions.)
*DATES SUBJECT TO CHANGE; please see our Facebook page and announcements on website as dates draw near.
8. When will I hear from my coach?
A: You should hear from your coach at the beginning of March. Please be patient as some coaches may call a few days sooner than others.

A: Opening Day will be on Saturday, March 29th, 2025. All teams in all divisions will play on this day (only Saturday game of season). Team/Individual pictures will also be held prior to your game, this includes Softball.
