Texas East LL: Welcome

WELCOME TO
TEXAS EAST STATE
LITTLE LEAGUE
Texas East Little League was created in 2002 as a result of Little League Baseball asking that the State of Texas be split into two entities, Texas East and Texas West. Texas East stretches from the Sabine River in the east to I-20 in the north to I-35 on the west to San Antonio and from there I-181 to the Gulf of Mexico and back to the Sabine River. Although not the exact geographical boundaries, they roughly describe the area covered by Texas East. We are a very diverse group of urban and rural areas. To see the Leagues chartered in Texas East, you may click on the graphic below or on the "Alignment" link in the menu to the left. Please check out all of our menu items as we will try to put as much information as we can out to you. We hope you enjoy our website and come back to visit often.

Texas East State Umpires are well trained volunteers who travel at their own expense. Each year, the District Administrators throughout the State submit the names of their finest and most proficient umpires to the Supervisor of Umpires for consideration to both the Texas East State Baseball and Softball Tournaments. Umpires are then selected, from this list, to serve at the Texas East State Tournaments. It is considered very much an honor to be selected to serve at the Texas East State Tournaments, just as it is to be selected for the SW Regional Tournaments and ultimately the Little League World Series. Please remember to treat all Texas East Umpires with the respect which they deserve.
FOR REGIONAL and WORLD SERIES TOURNAMENTS ONLY: Any umpire desiring to be considered for assignment to any Regional or World Series tournament, must complete a LLB "Tournament Umpire Request Form" and a "Volunteer Application". Upon completion, both forms and a legible copy of your Texas Drivers License must be submitted, annually, to the SW Regional Director in Waco, Texas by November 1st of the current year. Please note that your respective District Administrator must recommend you for all assignments being requested. Any request received after November 1st, of the current year, will not be considered. Click on the "Handout" below to download and print copies of both forms!!!!

IMPORTANT: For many years, LLB required that the physical location of each named player's residence be indicated on the League's approved boundary map and attached to the respective "Tournament Affidavit" for each participating team. This is no longer necessary, as the League President, together with the Player Agent, certifies each named player to be legally eligible with regard to residence, age and participation upon signing each respective "Tournament Affidavit". However, an exact copy of the League's boundary map (8 1/2" x 11"), as approved and on file with LLB, including the general location of each player's residence MUST be attached to each participating team's "Tournament Affidavit", and MUST be signed and dated by the League President and District Administrator.
CLARIFICATION: The corresponding number assigned to each named player, on each respective "Tournament Affidavit", must be indicated on the League boundary map, attached to and made part of said "Tournament Affidavit", in the general location of said named player's residence and must be located inside of the League's boundary lines, as indicated on the said League boundary map. Any player whose residence is located outside of the approved League boundary lines, as indicated on the said League boundary map, must have an approved "waiver" on file with your District Administrator and Little League Baseball. The said League boundary map must be no larger than 8 1/2" x 11" in size.
Pursuant to the Board's action on April 16, 2007, at the 24th Little League International Congress in Houston, Texas, the boundary lines for all local Little League programs are frozen. The boundary line for each chartered local Little League program is the boundary line detailed on the most recently accepted, and approved, map on file at the Southwestern Region Headquarters, provided ALL FOUR (4) of the below listed conditions are met on said map:
1) The boundary map is signed and dated by the person who was serving as the President of the local Little League program at the time the map was submitted, and
2) The boundary map is signed and dated by the person who was serving as the District Administrator of the local Little League program at the time the map was submitted, and
3) The boundary line shown on the map does not encroach upon the boundary line of any other chartered Little League program, and
4) The boundary line shown on the map is unbroken (closed), and clearly follows man made or geographic features; such as roadways, railroad tracks, rivers, etc. NOTE: When such features are shown on any boundary map submitted, the actual boundary line is considered to be the centerline of the feature.
Click on the "Headline" above to go to the LLB explanation of the requirements of the ASAP (A Safety Awareness Program) on the LLB website. A guide and template for the ASAP can be found on the LLB website under the menu item "Forms and Publications". LLB requires an approved ASAP for each member League on an annual basis.
Please go to the below "Handout" for assistance in the preparation of an ASAP Safety Program for any League.
