Little LEague - Unclaimed Property
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 16 Jan '24

16 Jan '24

All, Tonya Henry suggested that all DAs should have each of their leagues go to <https://ucp.dor.wa.gov/> WA Unclaimed Property and search for their league name. There appears to be a lot of Washington State Little Leagues that are owed money by the state. I have reports from other leagues in other districts in Washington that are owed money. You might also check just "Little League" in addition to leagues by name. Some have found a couple of those entries with the address of one of the former presidents of a league in a Washington District. JP District 13 DA

All, See below from Grant Funding for families in need… JP From: Little League <llinternational(a)littleleague.org> Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2024 10:31 AM To: jarel(a)jpiworldwide.com Subject: Launching Today: The T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=0ac6265a3f58869d0c25fcbeedab0719843…> Little League® District and League Volunteers, As we head into the 2024 season, we are excited to share that <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=0ac6265a3f58869dae17e68bb8f3978ef28…> T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant is back to help cover registration fees for Little League families in need. T-Mobile and Little League share the belief that every child should have the chance to experience Little League, regardless of their financial or personal situation. Many families face financial constraints and economic challenges, which has made it difficult for their children to make their way on to a Little League field. However, Little League firmly believes that payment shouldn't be a prerequisite for participation and that it's important to find a way to allow children to play the game. Visit <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=0ac6265a3f58869d948c9e491bdc3c17ae3…> LittleLeague.org/CallUpGrant to learn more about the program, including how to apply, as well as <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=0ac6265a3f58869dd936e1957910e1104dd…> downloadable resources to help promote this program within your community to encourage new families to join including: letter to the community, social media posts, website graphics, customizable flyers, and an email header. Financially challenged families in communities across the country with proof the child is currently receiving Medicaid benefits, SNAP or WIC may be eligible to receive a <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=0ac6265a3f58869da58098c90747b25f42f…> T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant, so long as funding is available. Please note, documents will need to include the child's name and eligibility/issued dates (within the last 12 months or have a future expiration date) verifying their low-income status in order to complete the application. Physical cards for Medicaid, SNAP or WIC that do not provide current dates and the child's name will not be accepted. The program offers a simple-to-use online <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=0ac6265a3f58869d9f92ece3d374f74597c…> application to get and keep children on the field. Prior to applying, families should identify their local league by visiting <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=23b4849643996bc1da1a6ef015c0ce37eaf…> PlayLittleLeague.org, then reach out to their league for more information about registration dates and fees. If families have already paid and registered for the 2024 season, they should work with their league to have their payment reimbursed. Please update contact information on the <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=23b4849643996bc15c88ce3dcf87a9c11ce…> Little League Data Center for your league's President, Player Agent, and Treasurer. These league officers will be notified via email using the information provided the first time a grant has been awarded for a player in your league and it is important that this is up to date. Similar to 2023, payment will be provided directly to the family in need (to maintain confidentiality) via electronic debit card with restrictions for use only for registration fees. We are extremely grateful to T-Mobile for their incredible support of the Little League program and for sharing this passion for offering every kid the chance to experience Little League.

Draft Policy for 2024 - Urgent!
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 04 Jan '24

04 Jan '24

All, I have been contacted by SEVERAL parents of players inquiring about "drafting", what the official "policy" and rule of Little League is, and what the enforcement policies are..plus it's been a question as we form the new league in North Spokane. So I had a teleconference with Little League Western Region this week to discuss. First there is some flexibility that a board has in relation to their draft policies. they can elect to draft some division, but in others there is NO flexibility and MUST draft that division. The rule says that ANY Majors teams MUST BE DRAFTED. AS PART OF THE DRAFT, A TRYOUT IS REQUIRED. ALL MANAGERS HAVE THE OBLIGATION TO SEE EACH PLAYER IN A TRYOUT. You cannot move a "travel team" intact into the league and not draft. In addition to this, any "competitive" division must be drafted. There are two guidelines Little League uses when reviewing team/division formation processes to determine if the division is "competitive". They are: 1. If you keep score, it's a competitive division - OR 2. If you create an All-Star or District Team from that division. IF EITHER of the conditions are met, Then it qualifies as a "competitive" division. If it is a competitive division, then you MUST DRAFT. The Draft MUST be held in accordance with the Little League Rules. District All-Stars at some point in the Last 2 years had the following Divisions playing: 8-10 9-11 Majors Intermediate Since those Divisions appeared at Districts, they all would have required a draft to start the season. As part of the draft, a tryout cycle is required so that ALL MANAGERS can see ALL PLAYERS. So what happens if the Draft is not done or not done according to the rules ? The DA can elect not to certify the All-Star candidate team and not allow the league to have representation at the District or higher tournament for that division. Who doesn't have to draft? First, no draft is necessary in T-BALL, or any division you don't keep score in (but don't provide an all-star team). So - all 4-6 year olds don't draft. 7-8 year (coach pitch or machine pitch) don't draft. SOME 8-10 don't draft because they don't keep score, and don't send all-stars to district. everybody else drafts.. If you want an 8-10 year old to go to all-stars in 9-11 team, or as a major, you must draft. The reason for this policy is to A) Create more playing opportunities for all kids and B) to create a parity among the teams and C) encourage the league to pick good coaches and managers for ALL teams. And to RE-iterate, YOU CANNOT bring a travel team into the league intact. It is not allowed. It's also specifically prohibited in the rules. Email or Call if you have questions. I would like ALL LEAGUES TO REPORT THE DATE(S) of their TRYOUTS AND DRAFTS PLEASE. I WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND OR HAVE AN ADA ATTEND. IF POSSIBLE I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A ZOOM MEETING WITH ALL PLAYER AGENTS AS WELL. HOPEFULLY IN THE FIRST WEEK IN FEB. Let's play some baseball (or softball)!! Regards JP DA WA 13 509-288-0141

New League Formed for North Spokane
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

All, I'd like to introduce you to the President of North Spokane Little League. Her name is Alexis Heitman, mom, and softball coach! We did manage to get a board formed last night at their first official meeting. While we are still hashing out boundary details, I think they will have several teams playing the 2024 Season. This is where all our fine leagues in District 13 need to leave 3-4 games open in their schedule to play inter-league with the newly formed North Spokane league. They will need LOTS of Softball games as we think there will be more softball teams for them this year. They still have several (many) board positions to fill, but they got enough together to start. I am asking all the presidents (as we discussed back in October) to PLEASE assist the new league as none of the board has ever ran a league before. I am asking the ADAs to come alongside and communicate and help them get their feet under them for the 2024 season. Welcome aboard! JP DA WA13/ and soon not to be WA5

League Choice Option at Youngest Levels of Play Starting in 2025
by jarel＠jpiworldwide.com 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

All, With this announcement being released later today, the boundary rules are changing. See below. We have discussed this in the last two annual fall meetings. I am available for questions if you have them. JP DA WA5/13 <https://llws2017.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/emails/newbrand/brand-blue-emai…> Dear District Administrators, Please be advised of the following new regulation change that will go into effect starting with the 2025 season, which will be communicated directly to all league officials later this morning and the rest of the public at 1 p.m. ET. Starting with the 2025 season, children at the youngest levels of the Little League® Baseball and Softball program ( <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef986795711e7bcef44a85496…> League Age 4-7) throughout the United States will have the ability to register and play for any local Little League program they choose, without respect to any <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef9867333e8301f65496a9d3d…> geography- or school-related eligibility requirements . Those players who register under this option will also be fully eligible to participate in all aspects of league play, including <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef9867d02c182afc7cb8ca956…> International Tournament play, for the duration of their Little League careers provided they have continuous and unbroken participation from the time they are League Age seven within the specific league where initially registered and provided all other participation eligibility requirements have been met. “As we continue to find ways to support and promote the youngest levels of our program, as well as look to remove barriers of entry to our program for families around the world, we are excited to share this evolution to our regulation starting with the 2025 season,” said Dan Velte, Little League Senior Operations Executive. “League Boundaries are at the core of Little League’s community value, and as we continue to provide more flexibility for families to enjoy their Little League experience, this evolution provides opportunities for families first entering the Little League program, while also ensuring our tournament-aged players have a fair and competitive playing field.” As part of this strategic change, which is detailed in Little League’s Regulation II as found in the <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef9867b3cfc2d50698e9abf8f…> Little League Rulebook App, players <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef986707ec72ab6281f446495…> League Age 8-16 as of the 2025 season (born on or after September 1, 2017, for Baseball or January 1, 2017, for Softball) will continue to utilize the <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef98670e79fee5687b7a6c784…> current boundary requirement based on residency or school enrollment. Red Shirt waivers and other opportunities will continue to be available as an option for players should they be interested in switching leagues that are outside of these requirements, based on approval and potential stipulations from the Little League International Charter Committee. In an effort to assist these families at these youngest divisions to choose the best league for their situation, as well as to further support the administrative needs of our local league volunteers, Little League International will also be launching a Central Registration Platform, which will be mandatory for U.S. leagues to use starting with the 2025 season, at <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef986722e2b0073fe8153d468…> PlayLittleLeague.org. “Through our Central Registration platform, families will have an easier time signing their child up for the Little League program while also tracking their eligibility throughout their Little League journey,” said Mr. Velte. “Additionally, this process will also help ease the administrative burden of our local league volunteers while providing an enhanced experience to our players throughout every step of their time in the Little League Baseball and Softball program.” Supported and operated through <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef986798d1744dce93c447211…> Sports Connect, the <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef9867616e1c6499bdaf85afc…> Official Local League Technology Provider of Little League, the transition to the new Central Registration system will be relatively seamless for those leagues who already utilize a Sports Connect website, and those leagues who are not utilizing one are strongly encouraged to do so prior to the conclusion of the 2024 season to aid their efforts. In 2015, Little League International first expanded participation opportunity to allow children to participate in a Little League program based on the location of the school in which they are enrolled. This latest evolution provides even more flexibility and support to remove barriers of entry and provide all families and children the opportunity to enjoy a Little League experience, developing life lessons and building stronger individuals and communities. Over the course of the 2024 season, additional information will be communicated directly to local league and district officials, as well as parents, to help understand the evolution of this regulation as well as Central Registration. To learn more about the impact of Regulation II and the establishment of Central Registration for the 2025 season, as well as to read more FAQs about how it impacts families, league officials, and District Administrators, please visit <http://click.email.littleleague.org/?qs=ba44794f7fef9867a4a18f0f6dc910033d6…> LittleLeague.org/2025Registration.
