East Chatham Little League Families,

 

Registration is now open for spring 2026!

*The division configuration for baseball will continue to group players in a tiered system based more on skill level rather than just age.  To remain consistent with previous changes and align with other successful leagues, we will be splitting the machine pitch division into "competitive" and "developmental", as well as likely splitting AA player pitch to include A.  We feel strongly that these additional divisions will help provide a better experience for all players.  The final decisions will be made after eval day with more details to come.  Softball divisions will be based solely on age. 

 

 

-T-ball will be league age 4-6.  (NO EVALUATIONS)  *Send teammate/coach/practice requests to [email protected].  We will try to honor them ONLY in this division, however it's not a guarantee.

 

-Machine pitch (2 divisions) will be league age 6-8.  *6 y/o will have the option to choose t-ball OR machine pitch when registering.  (MANDATORY EVALUATIONS)

 

-Minors player pitch will be league age 8-11 and likely consist of 2 divisions (AA and A).  *8 y/o can choose machine pitch OR player pitch when registering but MUST attend eval day to be considered for player pitch.  The board will decide whether kids stay in player pitch or move to machine pitch.  (MANDATORY EVALUATIONS)

 

 

-Seniors player pitch will be league age 13-16.  *Registration will close March 1st, and the season will probably run from mid-March through early June with some interleague games likely.  (NO EVALUATIONS) 

 

The team breakdown within each division will be determined after evaluations.  *In order to be considered for the majors and AAA/low majors divisions, players MUST attend evals.  We have a make-up eval day to help accommodate this requirement. 

Divisions will be 6U, 8U, 10U, 12U, 16U and cover league ages 4-16.  Interleague play is possible for any division if needed.  Evals are mandatory for all divisions except 6U.

Registration for 16U will remain open until March 1st.  

*If you're interested in your child playing in a division above their league age, please email: eastchathamlittleleaguesb@gmail.com.  Decisions will be made on a case by case basis.

 

PRICING:

 

 

 

 

 

*We usually need HEAD coaches (especially in the T-ball, machine pitch and teenage divisions), so please sign up for that and any other volunteer roles during registration.

 

*There is no need to provide any PROOF of residency or school at this time, so you can skip those sections.  HOWEVER, IF YOUR CHILD DOES NOT RESIDE IN OR ATTEND SCHOOL IN OUR BOUNDARY (only 1 is required), PLEASE LET US KNOW SINCE A LITTLE LEAGUE WAIVER REQUEST MAY BE NEEDED.

 

 

We are requiring families of this season's all-star players to work at least 1 volunteer shift during any tournament that we host.

 

We need 5 total memorial brick orders to meet our minimum.  Questions? Email Scott Dreyer: [email protected].

 

 

You can order East Chatham Little League fan gear for baseball AND softball on our website and through other vendors.  Our league receives money back from each purchase.
