Frequently Asked Questions

What does the practice & game schedule look like?
Practices for the Spring season begin in February and games begin in early March and end in June. Post season play (All-Stars and Tournament of Champions) begins in June. Games during the week are scheduled for 5:30pm or 7:30pm. Games occur on Saturdays from 9am to 7:30pm. The first half of the season's game schedule is usually available by Opening Day in early March. Practice schedules are determined by each coach after teams are formed in February.

What is Little League's new policy for league boundaries and schools?
Little League has amended its residency requirements to allow children to play in the local league whose boundaries where they attend school is located. Simply present a report card or proof of school attendance with your registration documents and your son/daughter will be eligible to play during the regular season and during the All-Stars with us!

What are AALL's league boundaries?
Please enter your address or your school address on Little League's League Finder to see to which league you belong to.

Can children who do not live within the league's boundaries play for AALL?
Yes, if the child attends school within our boundaries. If your child doesn't live within our boundaries or attend a school within our boundaries, he/she can only play at our park if they qualify for a Little League waiver. Visit the Types of Waiver page of the Little League website for more information.

When does Registration occur?
Registration for Spring 2022 is open from December 1, 2021 until February 4, 2022. Early registration discount applies from December 1, 2021 until January 09, 2022.

Is my child guaranteed a spot on a team?
Yes! Every child that has completed their registration on time will be placed on a team.

What are the costs associated with playing for AALL?
The registration fees associated with each division are as follows:
T-Ball & Tiny Baseball: $85 / Farm, Minor, and Major Baseball & Softball: $105; Junior and Senior Baseball & Softball: $125
In addition, all families are charged a $40 snack bar deposit (refunded upon family's completion of 2 hours work in snack bar) and are required to participate in the league fundraiser ($50 fundraiser or a $40 buyout).

Are there any discounts available?
Yes! There is a $10 discount for families that participate in early registration. Also, families registering multiple children receive a $5 discount on every child beginning with the second child. Finally, any family that commits a sponsor for a $300 or more donation will receive one free child registration.

Do I have to attend an In-Person Registration day?
No. If you can submit your registration information, payment, and essential documents (child's original birth certificate, your driver's license, and your utility bill) online, then you do not have to attend an In-Person Registration Day. You can submit your essential documents directly when completing the registration process online.

For which division should I register my child? In which division will my child play?
A player's division of play is determined by playing age (can be calculated HERE) and playing ability. This is why attending try-outs is important! Players that don't attend try-outs must play in the lower division (if their age makes them eligible for more than one) for safety purposes.

What if it says "No Programs Available" when I'm registering my child online?
This may occur if your child's division is full and no more positions are available. You may put your child on a waitlist by continuing to register as usual but select Waitlist instead. You will not be charged for this transaction. Once a position becomes available, your payment will be processed and you will be notified.

What determines the team on which my child will be placed?
T-Ball players are assigned randomly. T-Ball is the only division in which team placement requests can be considered. In the divisions after T-Ball, we follow the Little League Operating Manual draft regulations. Coaches evaluate the players at tryouts and the league facilitates a draft wherein the coaches take turns picking players from the eligible pool. This ensures the fairest distribution of talent throughout the teams. Returning major players are the only players who do not have to be re-drafted. Other policies and details affecting the draft exist, but these are the basics.

Are try-outs mandatory?
Yes! Everyone except 4-5 year olds must try-out. Returning Major and Junior players do not need to try-out.

What is your refund policy?

To request a refund, parents must complete the refund request form available HERE. All refunds will incur a $10.00 administration fee per player. Refund requested before Family Day: 100% refund on the division fee and snack bar deposit. The fundraiser charge is non-refundable. Refund requested before Opening Day: 75% refund on the division fee and snack bar deposit. Refund requested before April 7: 50% refund on the division fee and snack bar deposit (only if two hours worked). No refunds will be processed after April 7.
