In an effort to have everyone prepared, please review the list for mandatory documents. We will have to view them for every child, regardless of age, to be eligible to register to play baseball or softball. We will view this documents and immediately returned them to you. We do not need photocopies for our records.
Please bring an Original State Certified Birth Certificate.
Little League only accepts State Certified Birth Certificates. Nothing Else! If your child was born in Lane County, you can go to the County Courthouse and obtain a copy within minutes. If your child was born out of state, you can order for any state over the internet with a credit card: www.vitalrec.com is a commonly-used site. If your child was born in a military hospital overseas, military documentation such as a passport or original (non-hospital) government-issued document will do.
Bring three (3) different documents showing proof of current residence.
These can be one each of the following:
(1) drivers license
(1) voter’s registration card
(1) school record or report card
(1) tax document
(1) homeowner or tenant property insurance
(1) utility bill
(1) federal or state-issued document addressed to your residence.
The documents MUST show the actual street address you have listed on your registration form and not a PO Box. As a clearer example: Little League cannot take for one player "two drivers licenses" or "two voter registration cards" or "two school records" or "three utility bills." An example of three documents commonly brought to registration is a driver’s license, school report card, and (1) utility bill. With the exception of the driver’s license and voter’s registration card, documents for proof of residence should not be older than 3 months.
Please bring these mandatory documents with you to Registration. You will NOT be allowed to register your child(ren) without them regardless of how long you have waited in line or your hectic schedule for the remainder of the day, etc. If you do not bring these documents with you, you will be asked to return with them before you can register, fill out paperwork, or pay your fees. NO EXCEPTIONS REGARDLESS. If you have any questions, please call 726-0290 or send us an email at thurstonlittleleague@yahoo.com. We’re here to help make this process as easy and as smooth as possible.
Uniform Policy:Please bring your player(s) to registration so that you may carefully and accurately fill out the uniform sizing information. We have provided samples for players to try on to assist you with proper sizing. There will be no changes to uniform sizing once you have completed the registration process regardless of how it might fit once you receive your player(s) uniform. The Junior Division will be required to return their full button jerseys.
Please note: late registrations will NOT be accepted, we will NOT allow you to register by mail, and there will be NO registration at Player Evaluations.
