ELIGIBILITY

Divisions (Level of Play): Please see the section LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL - LEVELS OF PLAY below for descriptions of the various league divisions/levels of play.

Player League Age: To determine your child's playing age, please refer to the Little League Age Chart for Baseball or Little League Baseball's Age Calculator.

League Boundaries: Please check our league boundaries or use the league finder to verify that you and your child's residence OR the school your child will attend for the 2026-27 school year sits within the boundaries.

[IMPORTANT] Starting in 2025, players League Age 4-7 can play in any league of their family’s choice, without respect to any geography- or school-related eligibility requirements. This means your younger players (League Age 4-7) can register for Metro, even if their residence or school sits outside the Metro boundaries.
Please see the Little League website for details, or contact [email protected].

DOCUMENT VERIFICATION

Birth Certificate: The league is required to verify date of birth from the player’s ORIGINAL Birth Certificate (no photocopies). This will be done in person (date to be announced) so you won't need to submit your child's birth certificate.

School Enrollment Form [RECOMMENDED]: Please check our league boundaries to verify that the school your child will attend for the 2025-26 school year sits within the boundaries. Then, download the School Enrollment Form and have it signed by your School Administrator, Principal or Vice Principal. You can upload the signed Enrollment Form during your registration process.

NOTE: We recommend using the School Enrollment Form to verify your league boundary eligibility, since it is much simpler than the Residence Verification Documents option below (single form vs. 3 residence verification documents).

Residence Verification Documents: Please check our league boundaries to verify that you and your child's residence sits within the boundaries. Then, you will need to submit 3 proofs of residency from an address within our boundaries. You can upload these documents during your registration process. Parents must provide one document from each “Group” as described in the Little League Residency Requirements.

VOLUNTEER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

As required by California law (California Assembly Bill 506, January 2022), any volunteer who have material exposure to children (e.g. coaches, umpires) must complete the following:

Background check
Live Scan fingerprinting by a certified agency
Mandatory Reporter Training
Child Abuse Prevention Training
Sudden Cardiac Arrest Training
Abuse Awareness Training
Diamond Leader Training

These tasks must be completed before the volunteer is allowed to conduct any league activity where children are present. This applies to team head coaches, assistant coaches and umpires. Other volunteer positions not directly interacting with kids are not required to complete these items.

Please visit our Safety Information page for details on how to these important safety requirements.

REFUND POLICY

If your child decides not to participate in the season before we begin practices, we will refund all fees, less a $25.00 cancellation fee. If team uniform items were issued, the refund is given after the items are returned. After practices begin, no fees will be refunded unless there was an unusual circumstance, such as an injury. Any exceptions to this policy must be approved by the league President or the Player Agent.
