FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
REGISTRATION
How do I calculate my child’s Little League Age?
How old is your child on August 31, 2025? That is his/her Little League Age. You can also use this link to help you determine his/her age
If I deferred my registration from Fall - do I still need to register?
Yes!! A new registration must be completed for every individual player to participate during the spring SLL season - this includes those who deferred fall registrations and all members of the 2024-25 Slammers program, who are required to play Rec during the spring SLL season.
On the registration page, there is a place for me to pick my child’s teammates and/or coach. Is this for all divisions?
Great question! Our younger divisions (TB/PW) need to list a coach and/or teammates. We will do our best to accommodate those requests. Our older divisions (Rookie, AA, AAA, Majors) will go through player evaluations and will be drafted on teams. They will not be able to select a teammate/coach. If there are extenuating circumstances, please let us know and we will try to accommodate those requests. We know that is a required question to answer. We do not set up the form and do not have the ability to change the question.
Why do I need to list my child’s school for Little League registration?
In an attempt to have all of our players in-district, Little League is asking for schools. If you do not attend a school listed in the drop down menu, no worries! Please fill out all other questions. If you feel like Little League missed your child’s Smyrna school, please let us know.
I am trying to pay with my AmEx and the payment is spinning. What's up?
Unfortunately, there seems to be a glitch with the Little League central registration system and American Express. Please try another payment method for your Spring 2025 registration.
What bat should my child use during Little League games?
Little League requires that all bats have a USA Baseball label on them (NOT USSSA). Smyrna Little League also requires all players to have face cages on helmets.
How can I give back to Smyrna Little League?
We would love your help! We are still looking for a few board members to join our team. If you have any interest in joining our safety team, our sponsorship team, our fields and equipment team, or treasurer, please email [email protected] with your preferred position.
EVALSWhat are evals?
Evals are our league evaluations of each player and their baseball ability level before the start of the season.
Why do we need evals?
Evals are needed in order to create a balanced and competitive league among each team.
What time is my player's session?
A full, updated schedule for evals can be found here. Please make sure you sign your player up for one of the time slots.
NOTE: THE EVAL SIGN-UP PAGE IS NOT A REGISTRATION PAGE. YOUR CHILD MUST ALREADY BE REGISTERED FOR A SEASON BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR A TIME SLOT!
When should I arrive to evals?
Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your player's assigned time.
Where/how do I register when I arrive?
Registration tables will be set up between Legion and Bartlett Fields. Board members will be on hand and will give your player a sticker with an assigned number. Please place the sticker on your player’s shirt. This number will be used to identify your player throughout the session. After checking in, players can use the remaining time to get warmed up.
What will my player be expected to do during evals?
Each player will perform a brief set of drills and skill exercises, consisting of hitting, fielding and throwing. AA and higher divisions will also be asked to pitch off a mound.
Who will be doing the evaluating?
Players will be evaluated by the coaches in his or her division.
How long will evals take?
Each session varies by division but your player should expect to spend anywhere from 3-5 minutes doing actual baseball activities. Please plan to stay for the entirety of your assigned session. Once your player has completed all the exercises, you may leave.
What should my player wear?
Players should wear baseball attire or athletic gear. Players should also pack a light jacket or sweatshirt in the event of cooler temperatures.
What equipment does my player need to bring?
Players should bring:
- Glove
- Bat (MUST HAVE A USA BASEBALL STICKER. USSSA bats are NOT permitted in Smyrna Little League)
- Helmet (must have a full face cage)
We will also have league bats and helmets on hand, should anyone need to use them for evals.
What if my player doesn't perform well at his/her eval?
It's ok, all players will still be drafted.
Are evals mandatory?
YES! Evals are mandatory for all Rookie and above division players. Teeball and Peewee divisions do not attend evals.
What if I can't make it to eval sessions?
If your player cannot make it to any of our sessions please contact us immediately to avoid losing your spot.
When will I find out what team my player is on?
Emails to parents will go out shortly after the draft.
