16-AND-UNDER BASEBALL REGISTRATION (AGES 4-16)
YOU CAN REGISTER IF YOUR CHILD HAS A BIRTHDATE BETWEEN SEPT 1, 2007 AND APRIL 30, 2020.
Players must have a birth date between 9/1/2007 AND 4/30/2020 to play baseball in the 2024 Spring season. SFLL will make division assignments based on the number and ages of players registering. For more advanced players, we hope to offer the opportunity to play against older competition. Potentially, this could include giving players who recently turned 13 the opportunity to play on larger or even full-sized fields. The Spring 2024 registration fee is $230 for Tee Ball, $345 for Farm (Coach-Pitch) Baseball, and $430.00 for all levels of Kid-Pitch Baseball.
VOLUNTEERING
San Francisco Little League families play a huge role in the success of our league. SFLL is run 100% by volunteers. We can not run a league this size (~1,100 players/100 teams) without your help. Throughout the season, there will be a variety of opportunities for everyone to participate and contribute to the success of our teams and San Francisco Little League.
Little League International sets the following expectation for parents with children participating in Little League:
Parents must take some initiative to make the local program successful. Practically speaking, Little League is an adult work project constructed, supervised, and assisted by parents who want to extend this benefit to their children. Every parent is required to provide support to the league. We offer many options, please select your preferred volunteer service in the registration form that follows.
SFLL's network of volunteers requires continuous growth with a common purpose and goal: to provide a positive and supportive baseball learning experience for all SFLL players. We know that this will be a fun and easy way to contribute to a quality baseball experience for all. Simply put, the more involved you are, the more fun both you and your child will have!
FEES
Tee Ball Division: $230
Coach Pitch Divisions (Lower & Upper Farm): $345
Kid PItch Divisions (Rookie, Minors, Majors, Juniors, Seniors): $430
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
SFLL offers scholarship assistance to any eligible player through our Fee Waivers program. Low income residents, children who are unhoused/Homeless, or families who participate in any of the San Francisco Human Services Agency (H.S.A.) administered programs such as MediCal, CalWORKS, Food Stamp, Public Housing Authority, or Foster Care, qualify for a 100% Fee Waiver. Even families who are not eligible for one of these programs but still need financial support can request a Fee Waiver.
Families can request Fee Waivers easily and quickly by self-attesting to your eligibility as outlined above later in this form. Scholarships are offered to all our programs and divisions, including Tee Ball, Baseball, Softball and Challenger ball. No applicant will be turned away for lack of funds.
Fee Waivers are made possible through registration fees and thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors.
INDIVIDUAL APPLICATIONS
Except for the Tee Ball division, teams are formed through draft selection from individual applications with the primary objective of achieving team parity. SFLL believes that children benefit from playing on a team with players from all over the city. In our experience, carpooling arrangements are easily organized among teammates once rosters have been announced.
