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.
