Announcers and Scorekeepers Required!
Little League is an ALL-volunteer organization! Having parents volunteer to be scorekeepers and announcers for each game is a very small ask for your team to provide. Before each game, the teams must agree on what position they will provide. If a team does not provide either an announcer or scorekeeper the game will NOT be started.
All teams are required to have at least 1 (preferably several) parents who can properly score the game using a paper scorebook (Game Changer can NOT be used or referenced as the official book).
District Training is provided free to all parents at this link – SCOREKEEPING CLINICS
Rules Information
New for the 2025 season: Umpires will no longer check equipment before the game. The manager is SOLELY responsible for ensuring equipment is legal and proper.
Use of improper equipment (like a catcher’s mask without a dangling throat protector) will be corrected. Use of that same improper equipment again in the same game will result in the ejection of the player and the manager.
Use of illegal equipment (like a bat that doesn’t meet Little League standards) will result in the immediate ejection of the player AND the removal of the manager from the remainder of the international tournament. No warnings
Yes, the ENTIRE tournament. Also, remember that pine tar or any other sticky substance on the bat is illegal and will result in an ejection. If in doubt about a piece of equipment, check with the umpires BEFORE the game to be sure! But remember, even pre-checking does not remove the manager’s responsibility!

We’re Little League, NOT Travel Ball
Nothing irritates a Little League District Administrator more than an All-Star Manager or Coach who does not know the difference between Little League and Travel/Select ball.
Never refer to a Little League team as 10u or 11u or anything “u”. Little League does NOT have “u” ball.
Little League divisions are 8-9-10-year-olds, 9-10-11-year-olds, Majors, Intermediate (Baseball), Juniors & Seniors.
In Travel ball, you can be 7 years old and play on an 11u team, the ‘u” means anyone under the age of 11 can play on the team. Not so in Little League. To play with 11-year-olds in Little League, you must be 9, 10 or 11. You cannot be 8 or 7 or whatever “u”.
The moral of this is – Don’t use the term “u” when talking about Little League. There is NO such thing in Little League and we have NO idea what division you are actually talking about.
