Eugene Little League: Welcome

Eugene Little League ®

currently one of two chartered leagues serving families within the city limits of Eugene.  As of this date, Eugene Little League serves the boundaries of Churchill, North Eugene, South Eugene, Willamette, Elmira/Veneta/Crow, Junction City, Triangle Lake/Blachly High Schools.  The other league that serves families within the city limits is Sheldon Little League - serving Sheldon and Harrisburg High School boundaries.   

Through The District Administrator, in partnership with families specific to the Junction City/Harrisburg area, a new league is 'in the works' toward the 2010 season - with plans to serve Junction City, Elmira-Veneta-Crow, Triangle Lake-Blachly, and Harrisburg!  The new program will likely be partnered with Sheldon Little League at the on-set.  Check back for any possible updates.

In addition to this Little League® Eteamz website, Eugene Little League has activated another website which includes current-season information specific to league operations.

THE 2010 DISTRICT-WIDE RULES FOR OREGON DISTRICT 9 are included in the "Local League & Area News Page."   They are designed to be used in partnership with Little League Rules & Regulations as issued to each League in gratis supplies.  The local rules are in place to provide consistency across our leagues - and are for all in-league, interleaguing, and District-9 team special games held this season having been approved by all sitting District 9 Presidents (representing their leagues) at the time of the vote.

To register for participation in a chartered league,, Little League requires the child be of the appropriate age and legally reside within the boundaries of the league they are applying to.  At registration, three proof of residence documents and the child's government-issued birth certificate (original or government-issued certified copy) must be "viewed."   (Likewise, leagues can only register players who legally reside within 'their boundaries.')
