Additional Arizona LL Information Not finding a where you live on the maps with the District 3 site? This link is another tool to see if you can find a league that you live in. Too Much Baseball? Steve Keener, CEO LLBB, Inc. This column by Little League International President and Chief Executive Officer Stephen D. Keener, is reprinted from the 2005 Little League Baseball World Series Program. What's Little League About? The Mission of Little League Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes. Founded in 1939; granted Federal Charter July 16, 1964, by unanimous act of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States of America and signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson as Public Law 88-378, 88th Congress H.R. 9234, and amended December 26, 1974, Public Law 93-551, 93rd Congress, H.R. 8864. Little League is tax exempt. Is Little League the Youth Sports Program for Your Kids? Steve Groves, a former President of Paradise Valley West Little League was asked, "Why Little League?" He did some research and came up with a comparison between Little League and other Youth Sports programs. When this was authored, the Little League requirement of back ground checks. No other youth sports program has this requirement in it's requlations. A league could (and one has) lose their charter with Little League if the league fails to conduct background checks. The background check must be conducted on Board Members, Mangers, Coaches, hired workers, or any person with continuous contact with the players in the league. It must be conducted on a NATIONAL database (such as Choice Point) and if a negative item appears on the report with a crime against children, they are not allowed to volunteer in the league. This is also done ANNUALLY. Handout: Little League vs Club 
Why Can't I Play in That League?
One of the most frequent calls District receives from parents is "Why can't my kid play in that league?" Each league has a specific boundary in which they can sign up players as defined in Little League Regulation II. The boundaries are primarily defined by population. Boundaries are not determined by the local school boundaries. These can at times change every year. So, yes, in some cases, two leagues might be drawing kids from one school. Boundaries are also approved by the local league board of directors. The league is regulated to sign up players who live only within their respective boundaries. There are two exceptions under the Regulation that allow players who currently live outside a local league's boundaries. The II (d) Waiver allows a player who played in the local league and lived within the leagues boundaries, and has moved outside the leagues boundaries, to continue to play in that league, the Board can request a waiver. The other is the IV (h), which allows a parent who has been a manager, coach, volunteer umpire or board member for the previous three years, and is continuing that volunteer service, the Board can request a waiver. All waivers require the approval of the District Administrator and are filed with Western Region Headquarters. There are no "babysitter" waivers, "best friend" waivers. There are only two requirements to play in League League. The player lives within the boundaries and is of the age to play in their respective divisions. The league can request proof of these requirements, such as a utility bill that shows the address of service. (Another article will explain age requirements.) These regulations are not designed to keep players out of a league, but protect a local league's players who live within their boundaries.
