Welcome to Manhattan Beach Little League 2021 Spring Season!
REGISTRATION IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.
AT THIS TIME WE ARE NOT TAKING ANY NEW PLAYERS.
The City has informed us that they will allow MBLL access to the baseball fields in late February for all our eager 5-16 year old players. Due to the current state of the pandemic, Little League baseball in 2021 will be a little different.
It will involve protocol restricted practices with clear mandates. The city is granting each player one 2-hour practice per week. Scrimmages and games TBD as the situation permits, but currently not allowed.
The registration fee will be $150 per player to cover our costs of charter membership dues, insurance, field maintenance, baseballs and select COVID protection items. No uniforms at this time. We will be offering refunds in the event of a late start, cancellation, or other unexpected event in accordance with the amount of season time used.
Based on the current county guidelines we will have to abide by all the following mandated parameters listed below. NO EXCEPTIONS And if not followed players, teams or MBLL could lose the right to use the baseball fields.
We are all being asked to take these matters very serious and it is vital that parents properly convey these rules to their children to ensure a safe environment for the league
- Everyone has to wear a mask. No exceptions
- Everyone has to physically keep 6 feet apart. No exceptions
- No scenario of a player pitching to a batter with a catcher
- Drills/clinics/training ONLY. NO SCRIMMAGES OR GAMES!!!!
- Everyone must provide their own equipment – no sharing at all
- 2 hours/team/week. No more
- Limited dugout use
- No food including gum or sunflower seeds and absolutely no spitting. Players can bring their own drink properly labeled
- Staggered start times between practices to prevent gathering (30 minutes)
- Parents are allowed to stay and observe practice, but must wear masks and stay 6 feet apart. No mingling. Once practice ends they must promptly leave. The city would prefer that only one parent attend and siblings be kept away.
- All spectators must refrain from entering the field or dugout.
- Each family will be required to sign a league waiver
- If any player, managers or coach on the team tests positive they most immediately notify the league and the entire team is shut down for quarantine till it is safe to return
- If any players, managers or coaches family member exhibits COVID symptoms they must most immediately notify the league and not return until the family and player are cleared
- Any team caught not following the above protocols will be immediately suspended. In the event multiple teams do not follow MBLL could be terminated for the remainder of the Spring.

The Registration and In-Season Digital Platform:
We will continue to utilize the Sports Connect platform to provide the best experience for parents and volunteers on and off the field. A few notes and tips about registration for this platform:

• We are aware that Manhattan Beach AYSO also utilizes this platform and for all first timers you will need to set up with a separate MBLL log-in.
• The platform is the official platform of Little League International. This being said, many of the questions and information requests are part of Little League International requirements. The platform integrates automatically into Little League so we do not have to do manual processes to get them our data and risk not handling your proprietary information correctly.
• Please make sure while registering to enter your information correctly (home address, cell phone, email, child birthdate, etc..) as this one time occurrence will ensure you have properly entered your player avoiding any delays while helping with proper team placement. This information will only be shared with coaches and league officials.
• Please do not alter your child's birthdate!!! Any manipulation can lead to a players removal from the league.
• The platform will be used all year round for communication, messaging, team rostering, your team home page, standings as well as GameChanger. This will provide a one-of-a-kind experience allowing the best for players, parents, coaches and other family and friends.
