__________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2025 Little League Online Registration is now open. Registrations for All Levels of Baseball, Softball and T-ball must be in by February 15th, 2025 ahead of Major/Minors Placements (Tentative Date is the first week in March) to provide ample time for team creation and uniform order. Registrations received after these dates may result in the inability to play and/or delay in receiving team shirt and hat. We will have a late fee of $50 Dollars for Majors and AAA, and $25 for all other divisions, for any registrations received after those dates.
In addition to the Spring Season you can now also signup for the upcoming Winter Clinics which start TBD. This Year we have a brand new website URL: http://leagues.bluesombrero.com/ehmlittleleague. Every League is now required to use SportsConnect, so new profiles will be required.
Please feel free forward this to any families new to town or with newly eligible children.

Player Age/League Age
Those new to Little League may not know that Little League uses "League Age" to determine a child's age for any given season. We have created a League Age page on our website which links to an online Little League Age calculator as well as two tables (one for baseball and one for softball).
For Softball a child's League Age is the age they were at the end of the previous calendar year. For example a child born in 2014 will be league age 10 for the 2025 season.
Baseball League Age rules changed a few years ago and League Age is determined by the child's age on 8/31 of the given season. For example a child born in 2015 with a birthday August 31st or prior will be League Age 11. A child born in 2015 with a birthday September 1st or later will be League Age 10.
Tee Ball Division
League Age 5-6 Tee Ball (if you have a 4 year old interested please contact a league official, but exceptions will be minimal - if any)
