Spring Registration - Online Now!
This year CLL is changing its player registration process. We've selected a new registration database vendor, Youth Leagues USA, and are moving exclusively to an online process.
For 2010 you will still be able to register via our website or in person, but two main things will change:
1) You can pay by credit card online or opt to mail in a check after the online registration has been completed.
2) We will only have two in-person registration sessions. If you choose to come to an in-person registration, you will have to enter all information via a CLL provided laptop. You will either pay online or pay by check at the session. No paper registration forms will be available.
Our in-person registration dates will be Saturday, January 30, 2010 from 10am to 4pm at the Holiday Inn Express Brandermill and Saturday, February 6, 2010 from 10am to 3pm at the Clover Hill Library. The online registration link is now active (see above).
Please check out more detailed information regarding registration and requirements on our Player/Parent Information Page.
Important Information – Spring Manager/Coach/ Umpire/Team Parent Registration
This year CLL is changing its Manager/Coach/Umpire/Team Parent registration process. We’ve selected a new registration database vendor, Youth Leagues USA, and are moving exclusively to an online process. For 2010, if you are interested in being a Manager, Coach, Umpire or Team Parent, you will be required to apply/register online. The online form will capture the equivalent LL Volunteer information and capture your County Background Check card number, but you will still need to submit a copy of your driver’s license (details will be in the form).
You may register online or you may come to either of the two player registration sessions to register via CLL provided laptop, or to submit the copy of your driver's license. No one can be considered for a Manager, Coach, Umpire or Team Parent position or be permitted to perform the role without completing this process. The online registration link is now active (see above).
Umpire Clinics:
Required for Returning & New Umpires
Umpires are a crucial component to the success of the season, and the training of the umpire is the most crucial tool CLL can provide to our umpires, whether returning or new. The umpire classroom clinics have been scheduled for the following Wednesdays:
February 10, 2010 (mandatory for new umpires)
February 17, 2010 (mandatory for new umpires)
February 24, 2010 (mandatory for new umpires)
March 3, 2010 (Big Field Umpiring)
March 10, 2010 (Big Field Umpiring)
The classes will be held at Reams Road Elementary School. Each class will run from 7:00pm - 9:00pm, and will be held in the auditorium near the main entrance. The classes are progressive and it is strongly recommended all umpires attend each class.
For any questions regarding umpires, please contact Keith Diesel, Umpire-in-Chief (kdiesel6@msn.com).

Richmond Flying Squirrels
Fundraiser - THANK YOU!!!
December 14th was designated as Chesterfield Little League Day at the 'Squirrels Nest' Merchandise Store at the Diamond. 10% of all merchandise sold at the brand new store that day was donated to CLL! Based on your support and other fans that came to the store that day, CLL earned nearly $550!!!
We will also be working with Squirrels for a ticket fundraiser in the spring, having the new mascot at Opening Day, and even having Squirrel players come to CLL to assist with a spring clinic if possible. Stay tuned!
Chesterfield Little League is looking for volunteers
It takes a lot of volunteers to make sure that our children have a great year. This league is rich in parents with both experience and abilities that can make this a rewarding time for all of our children. An easy way for you to help is to volunteer to serve on one of the many committees created to help the League have a smooth, organized season. Even if you can only help once for a few hours, we can use your help. Due to County cutbacks, we have a huge need for field maintenance volunteers!! Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Kim Britton (kbritton2@yahoo.com), or VP Operations, Sandy Harrington (kraizefan@comcast.net) if you are interested in assisting CLL.
Opportunities include, but are not limited to:
Opening Day, Fundraisers, Field Maintenance, Tournaments, Sponsorship, Coach/Player Development, Team Parent, Uniform Distribution/Sales, Registration/Skills Assessments

* Women's shirt sizes are tending to run small, please consider when ordering. Sportsgear has a refund/exchange policy, but due to the customization of the products, they may only be able to return 75% of purchase price unless refund/exchange is due to manufacturer's defect. Please refer to the store's website for refund/exchange details.
Chesterfield Little League strives to develop the baseball knowledge, abilities and sportsmanship of Chesterfield County youth, and instill in them a love for the game of baseball that lasts a lifetime. And although each new season the ‘Journey’ must begin again, as an organization we will strive to build upon the foundations of baseball fundamentals and new friendships that Little League Baseball develops year by year.
