The Registration and In-Season Digital Platform

• 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 your data and risk not handling your proprietary information securely. 

• 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 player’s 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 note that the information you use to verify eligibility will be used during the All-Star season. All documents input here need to be clear and dated between February 2025 and February 2026. If verifying eligibility by school enrollment, those forms must be dated prior to October 2025 by the school.
