Financial Aid

The League will waive all or part of the registration fee if you need financial assistance. No child will be turned away from Harlem Little League because of an inability to pay. Therefore, you should register your child on time and not let a lack of funds stop you from registering.

We encourage families to pay at least a portion of the fee for each child. Our fees are kept deliberately low (lower than that of other leagues) in an attempt to make it possible for everyone to play. The actual cost to run this program is about $175 per player. If you need financial assistance, please let us know what amount, if any, you can contribute by clicking on this link to request financial aid. All information will be kept confidential.

Skills Assessments

Skills Assessments will be held in February. All players new to Harlem Little League, with a league age of 7 or older, are expected to attend. This is NOT a tryout, merely an opportunity for our coaches to evaluate a child's skills so that we can best try and balance our team assignments.

Season Schedule

Practice typically begins in mid-March and our annual Opening Day Parade and first games will be played on Saturday, April 6, 2019. The season runs through late June.

Practices are held on at least one weekday afternoon each week; games are held on weekends, with children ages 7+ generally playing both Saturdays and Sunday afternoons. 

Tournament Teams

Each season, Harlem Little League enters teams in the Little League Baseball Postseason Tournaments. These teams are made up of players aged 9+ who are selected through a tryout process. Extra practices are required and play in the tournament begins in late June and extends until teams are eliminated from contention. All tournaments are double-elimination leading up to their respective divisions World Series in August. Our 2018 Juniors Tournament Team won the District and Sectional Titles before advancing deep into the State Tournament and playing well into July. 

Another opportunity for increased playing time comes over the Memorial Day Weekend, when Harlem Little League generally participates in a fun, round-robin style tournament with other teams in Manhattan.
