Parents Guide to Little League®

When parents or legal guardians decide to register a child to play Little League®, it is typically because the child wants to be with friends; or they see Little League as an opportunity for the family to grow its social network within the community.

Once a child becomes a Little Leaguer®, and a family begins supporting the player’s activities, it becomes apparent that Little League goes well beyond the circle of the team.

The Parents Guide to Little League offers a quick reference to specific aspects of the program, and was developed to help families become more familiar with the terms and operation of the local league.

Both parents, and the local league go through the process of deciding what is good and what’s got to go. To that end, the local league needs to decide what equipment it will provide to teams for the coming season, which leads to parents to ponder what equipment do they need to buy.
