General Communication / Updates:

We primarily communicate updates to league participants via Facebook at Bossier LL Facebook . So if you haven't already "liked" us there to follow us, do so now. You can DM us there for info. Secondly, we monitor the email at [email protected] closely. There is a phone number posted, but we do not monitor it as closely as we are all volunteers and have normal jobs/commitments.

Registration Summary/Dates:

We allow full teams to register at a discounted rate in fall. Coaches will login and pay for the team then provide each player's parent with a registration code or email so they can login and register their players on his team. This is a requirement to cover our league insurance requirements. Players are allowed to play up without assessment if you choose. ie- if they are age 6 now, but will be age 7 next spring you will have the option to register them for the 7-8 age division (to prepare for next spring's competition) Fall league is instructional focused - no need to go crazy on uniforms - we suggest coaches push for a "T-shirt League" in Fall	All baseball and softball players needing to be drafted to a team (not already on a team) are REQUIRED to attend a skills assessment These are not tryouts; each player who signs up will be placed on a team. This is an opportunity to assess each player’s skills to ensure competitive balance and safety. These dates will be posted prominently for each age division.

Where to Register?

All registrations are completed online at this website. We are run by a small group of volunteers and we cannot meet you or offer paper registrations of any type. First time users will need to create an account. Please click on the "Register" button in the top right-hand corner to create an account and register your players.

Full payment of the registration fee is required at the time of registration. Registration will be open from July 6 to October 5 for the Fall 2022 season. We will not be able to accommodate registration requests received after this date.

Registration Age/Age Divisions:

Players will be placed in a division based on his or her “League Age” as calculated according to Little League age policy. Please see our League Age page for more information (Registration> Little League Age Calculator & Charts)

Registration Fees

Fees are determined by several factors, Little League international charter fees and other operational costs (that differ by age division ie Umpires, equipment, insurance, maintenance, etc.) We ask that you pay these online at the time of registration via debit/credit card. We don't accept check payment unless in extreme circumstances. We also require all fees to be paid before the 1st game of the season or we can't allow players on the field for league insurance/safety reasons.

Registration fees for the 2022 Bossier Little League season are as follows:

Division	FEE
3-4 "Wee Ball" T-Ball (Co-ed)	$50
5-6 Competitive T-Ball	$100

Uniforms/Equipment

Your player will only require a glove to participate. Once drafted to a team you can speak to your coach about additional needs (cleats, pants colors, helmet etc). Bats are tightly regulated by Little League so be sure and follow those regulations if you choose to get a bat (Bat Rules). Coaches will coordinate uniforms acquisition for spring seasons. They may seek team sponsorship or coordinate fundraising efforts to cover costs. For

Coaches Background Check

Head Coaches and Assistants will be required to pass a background check prior to beginning the season. We do not run these inhouse as we don't want to be a middle man when handling your personal identifiable information, so we will send your contact into to JDP (JDPalentine) who manages all background checks for LL International. You will receive and email from them asking you to login to their system and complete a questionnaire. They will forward the completed background checks to us for final review. This only needs to be completed once annually... so if you have a completed check on file with US for spring, you are clear for the Fall.
