The complete list of possible documents is included at the bottom of this page.

******************************************************************
"LEAGUE AGE" - AGE REQUIREMENT --

"Challenger Division children may participate from Age 5 through graduation from their high school program - generally age 21.
For all regular season player registrations remember to bring with you:
* your Child - for uniform shirt sizing (or be prepared with sizing for 50/50 shirts)
* Your child's original government-issued birth certificate (or a state-certified copy) - for our viewing. Per Little League and before a child can participate in 'evaluations,' or be assigned to any team, this document must be viewed by the League President, the Player Agent (or another President-delegated board member).
Note: Passports, Hospital Certificates, Baptismal Certificates, photocopies or faxed copies of state-issued birth certificates cannot be accepted.
* Military Hospital Certificates and Military I.D. Cards may be used in lieu of a "state-issued Birth Certificate."
* Per the State of California, and due to 9/11, no California ABSTRACT of Birth is considered a legal document. (Contact the State of California or the County where your child was born to obtain a legal document - or click on the leader line for this article.)
IF YOU NEED TO ORDER A GOVERNMENT-ISSUED BIRTH CERTIFICATE, EITHER CONTACT THE COURTHOUSE OF THE COUNTY WHERE THE CHILD WAS BORN, OR GO TO WWW.VITALREC.COM. (PAYMENT CAN BE MADE USING A CREDIT CARD; SHIPPING IS VERY PROMPT.)
* and at least three different documents with your current address. (Documents referencing a PO Box must include a reference to a Street Address.) Authorized Proof of Residence documents may include a combination of three of any of the following, but not more than one document from each category. FOR EAZE, we are requesting it be kept simple - with the showing of:
(1) a Current Driver's License
(2) a Vehicle Registration
(3) a Utility bill less than 6 months old or Insurance Document (with the address shown)
All three documents must show the same address as will be noted on the registration form, providing the league with proof the child resides within the legal boundaries of THEIR league..
Information specific to players 'league age 12' :
Beginning with the 2006 season, players league age 12 this season may be eligible to "try-out" for placement on a Junior Division team. In Softball, there is no change to the ballfield. In Baseball, this means moving up to the 90' basepath. Again, this option must be voted in for each season by the local board, and the ruling must be either "all 12 year olds" or "no 12 year olds" will be eligible to "try-out" for moving up to the next division. Whether they "try-out" for placement on a Junior Division team or not, 12-year olds are always eligible for placement in the Player Pitch or Major teams which generally include 9-12 year olds - playing on 60' base paths.
The complete list of eligible "proof of residence" documents includes the following. ONLY ONE DOCUMENT FROM EACH (GROUP) is allowed. (2 drivers licenses = 1 proof of residence from group #1; a cell phone bill and a home phone bill = 1 proof of residence from group # 10). ENVELOPES and Bank Statements and Checks do not qualify as a Proof of Residence Document.
