Metuchen Little League continues to offer you a way to rid your basements and garages of the used uniforms, cleats, and baseball/softball equipment that your players outgrow.

We have instituted a swapping program where during our registration process you can bring these items to the clubhouse and swap yours for something you might need. After the swapping is done, we will donate what is left a worthy cause such as Baseball in Africa (see the article link on this page). 

Anytime the clubhouse is open, you may also drop off the items in a bag marked "Donation". If you have any questions, send them to the league's email address shown at the top of the page.

We have new styles of jackets and windshirts and new logo combinations. Samples are on display in the Snack Bar at Fater Field.

Click the link below this paragraph. Take a look at the flyer for selections and then download the order form and submit with your payment by mail. Screen printing orders will be placed with the vendor when the minimum of six per style is attained.

Embroidered items do not require minimum quantities. 

Satisfy your workbond requirement early and often!  Get 3 hours workbond credit for each shift worked!!   Sign-up to work a snack bar shift today via the link in the left margin!!!

(NOTE: THE LITTLE LEAGUE CALENDAR YEAR CLOSES ON JULY 31ST AND SO REFUNDS ARE NORMALLY PAID IN LATE SEPTEMBER/EARLY OCTOBER)

The 9 hour requirement is per family, therefore if 2 family members work in an acceptible activity both of their hours count toward the same total. An additional requirement for families whose child plays on either Fater or Hoyer Fields is to work at least 1 shift in the snack bar.  The only exception is for volunteers who Manage a team.
Snack bar time is awarded as 3 hours per shift and a normal shift is usually only 2 hours of actual time, therefore in many, BUT NOT ALL, situations - a volunteer will work only 2 hours in the Snack Bar and get credit for 3.
The success of our Little League is a result of all the hard work of our volunteers.  The Executive Committee of the MLL Board of Directors thanks everyone for their past participation and encourages everyone to get involved to help continue to make our program an enjoyable experience for all our children!
Any questions to this policy can be directed to our Little League e-mail box at metuchen.littleleague@verizon.net.
