Parents,
Each year, Little League hosts the Little League World Series Tournament that you have seen on television. MCLL will sponsor all-star teams in baseball and softball (see tournament divisions below). Play starts at the District 2 level and proceeds to the State, Regional, and finally the World Series Championship!
Teams will be announced no later than June 1st. To efficiently form those teams, we need to know who is interested, eligible, available, and committed to the tournament schedules. Practices will begin in early June and will be held several days per week. Each player who commits must be willing and available to participate fully from early June through the end of July.
Expectations
Player must commit to being available and willing to participate several days per week from early June through the end of July
There is a $50 uniform fee if your child makes a team; players will be expected to provide their own white pants for baseball and black pants for softball.
