On the school enrollment form it is asking for the league's ID #, what is it?
The league's ID # is 4030610.

A player's registration must be complete with all information verified in order to participate in evaluations. What does "complete your registration" mean?

To complete your registration you must verify your child's geographic and age eligibility. To verify age eligibility you must present your child's birth certificate. Geographic eligibility may be verified through proof of residence or proof of school enrollment. Please consult the list of acceptable documents HERE. Verification can be accomplished during the online registration process by uploading your documents or by attending one of our two walk-in document verification clinics. 

Yes, all players must provide the school enrollment form or three proofs of residency showing current home address and child's birth certificate, by uploading your documents or by attending one of our two walk-in document verification clinics. Proofs of residency must be re-submitted annually and must be in accordance with Little League International residency requirements. A complete list can be found HERE

A map showing the league boundaries can be found on the ARLL website.

In some cases an 8-year-old can 'play up' in the Minors Division. A parent or guardian must make this request at time of registration. All  'play ups' are done in our database after the registration process has been closed and during the process of team formation.

Yes. ARLL has determined for the 2024 Spring season the Baseball Majors Division will be played at 46/60 field dimensions. Therefore, 10-year-olds are  allowed to play at the 46/60 field dimensions, as long as vacancies exist.

No. If a parent or guardian does feel their player should play in a lower division, they must attend a meeting with the president of the league, the vice president of division, commissioner, and player agent. A request to 'play down' will not be granted to simply "play with friends". Based on Little League rules, the parent or guardian must send in a request letter to request that the Board of Directors consider approving the waiver. If approved, the Board of Directors will forward the letter to the District 6 Administrator for a final decision. The District Administrator has final authority for approval/denial without appeal. All moves 'up or down' are done in our database after our registration process has been closed and during the process of team formation.

No. 12-year-olds must play in the Majors Division.  ARLL does not offer a Junior League.  ARLL does partner with a Mountain View and McCormack Little League to provide a Junior League. Based on registration numbers will determine if we can offer this division year to year. Please reach out to [email protected] for more information.

Boys age 8 and up and girls age 9 and up need to participate in player evaluations (tryouts). Each eligible player will only need to attend ONE of the two player evaluations dates. Player evaluations are for player draft purposes only to ensure that teams are evenly balanced by level of skill. Lower division teams that don't have tryouts are assembled by each division Commissioner and do not need to be evaluated.

Yes, ONLY in non-draft divisions. Request should be made on the registration form in the "Special Request" location. Every attempt will be made to accommodate requests, but no guarantees are provided. Divisions where there is a tryout and draft process will NOT be able to pre-select managers.

Once all teams have been assembled or drafted - a full practice and playing schedule will be set and coordinated through your Team Manager in early February. Practice times begin in early February for the upper divisions and soon thereafter for the lower divisions. Games begin in March. The season runs through May. Check the Event tab for more details on our schedule.

ARLL plays games in one of three locations: Ingleside Middle School, Echo Canyon and Camelback Christian Church. Practices are held in these same locations.
