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:

• If you signed up last year you will still be able to enter with the same User ID and Password. The site can assist should you have forgotten prior login info.

• 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. 

• For Residency & School Attendance Eligibility Requirements – please choose your child’s school. The rest is optional and you can proceed.

• If you elect to Manage or help Coach it will guide you through some quick questions which you must complete. 

We offer many programs for ages 5-16. Under the "BASEBALL" tab on this site is the age Little League International age chart to determine your players appropriate age for division placement. 

Please read the following carefully as it may affect the division your player is eligible for and placed in.

Manhattan Beach Little League will strictly be following the Little League Age Chart for all divisions of play. There will be no movement to a different age division. Do not request. We want all kids to have the best experience possible with their classmates while looking out for the safety of all involved. Parents need to agree that the placement of their child in their specific division is FINAL as well as team placement. No exceptions.

Based on entry of your child’s birthdate, the site will automatically show which division(s) are available for your child based on their Little League age. 

Division placement is determined by a players league age and will be strictly followed for all divisions of play. The registration application will automatically offer which division(s) are available. Under the "BASEBALL" tab on this site is the "Divisions of Play & Player Placement" to help show which are available with a brief explanation. 

Please note depending on where they fall more than one division of play may be available to choose from. This only applies to 6, 8 and 11 year olds as all other divisions are mandated per age. You will have to discuss with your child what they feel will offer the best fit and experience. All player placement is based on availability of spots in each division and the Little League age requirements. You will have initial option of selecting should two be available but the final allocation may change.   

As an example and based on birth dates, certain 11 year olds will have the option of Triple A or Majors. Some players may be more comfortable playing as the elder of their division or some may be looking to “play up” to a higher level. You will have to discuss with your child what they feel will offer the best fit and experience though the higher division may not be available even if selected. Based on final registration numbers, divisions may fill up requiring younger players to be placed in the lower division offered. Past evaluations will also be taken into account. 

But note in the Majors division, it is mandated by Little League International that all 12 year olds must be in that division. Therefore, first priority will go to 12 year olds and after that, placement of select 11 year olds will be based on past evaluations and the draft. There will be NO player movements after draft unless approved by the MB Little League executive board and division commissioner.  

The success of MB Little League is determined by our amazing volunteers. Like past years, we need you to volunteer to help the league thrive. We truly appreciate all who apply to Manage teams in the league. To refresh Managers run the team. If you offer to Coach you’ll be assisting the Manager. We’re hoping many of you return and we get some new recruits. The privilege of Managing your child and teammates is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and hope you will consider taking advantage of the opportunity. In the event we do not get enough of you to sign up we could be forced to limited the number of teams per divisions and we really would like to avoid. All Managers MUST be approved by the MB Little League board and not guaranteed in the event more requests are made versus slots available. In-addition, all Managers will be required to attend a Managers meeting in February to discuss rules, safety certification, coaching codes of conduct and the goals of the up-coming season. 

We are also in need of general board members. This select group is instrumental in helping the league run. There are a variety of jobs that are essential to running everything and also helping us set up a successful future of MBLL for years to come. This could involve field maintenance & supervision, sponsorships, scheduling, commissioners, website, digital communication, snack stands, team parents, etc… Typically we would have been able to hold informational meetings and share knowledge, but COVID has obviously changed that. And the hope is your player(s) have years left in the league so you can be involved for a number of seasons. If you are interested in getting your name on our list please send us an email to [email protected] 

Also in accordance with Little League International, MB Little League will continue to follow a strict Code of Conduct for parents, players and coaches. All are viewable on the MB Little League website along with our Disciplinary Policy. We want all adult and children MB Little League participants to exhibit exemplary behavior both on and off the field and know that having rules and policies documented will make it clear for all during the season.
