Q: What if I want my child to play in a different division?

A: Players must register for the division associated with their League Age. If you want your child to play at the level above or below their division, please complete registration, then submit an email to [email protected] with Special Request in the subject line. State your request in the email and the Board of Directors will have to review on a case-by-case basis. We try to accommodate requests, but we also have to be safe and fair. Thank you for understanding!

Q: When does the season start?

A: We’re excited to start everything earlier this year! With the way Spring Break and Mardi Gras fall this year, our options are limited. Thank you for being supportive! Practices will begin by early February and games will begin the week of February 24th. Mandatory evaluations are scheduled for January 18th, with make-up evaluations on the 19th (all divisions except T-Ball and Beginner Coach Pitch). Yes, we will schedule around Moody’s basketball program.

Q: How long is the Little League season?

A: Typically, the Little League season runs from mid-February through late-May. Upper divisions (Competitive Coach Pitch, Minors, Majors and Juniors) continue with post-season tournaments and all-star games into late-June and early-July.

Q: What do I do with the Medical Release Form I was asked to print and sign?

A: Give it to your child’s coach/manager during the first week of practice. Please reach out if you do not have access to a printer.

Q: What is included with the League fees?

A: The registration fees pay for the players' uniform, which will include a hat and jersey. Registration also goes toward Galveston Little League's equipment and other operational costs (e.g., regular season umpires, field maintenance, insurance, events, etc.).

Q: What part of the uniform is not included with the League fees?

A: Parents will be responsible for pants, socks, belts and cleats. Cleats are recommended, but not required. Each team's manager/coach will determine colors and inform parents before their first game. 

Q: Why is each player required to participate in fundraising?  

A: The registration fees alone do not cover all the expenses to operate the league. It also allows the businesses in our community to support the league. For the 2023 and 2024 seasons, the main fundraiser was the carnival. Fundraising for the 2025 season is TBD.

Q: How many games / practices can we expect?

A: A 12-game minimum regular season with at LEAST one practice per week. There will be two games per week in most divisions. Practices vary and are determined by division and coaches.  

Q: Where are the games and practices?

A: All games will be played at Crockett Park fields located at 53rd & Avenue S. If necessary, we will utilize the fields at Schreiber Park, located on 81st Street and Lindale Park, located on Albacore Drive. The schedule will be posted in February. Practice locations vary and are determined by the scheduling coordinator. 

Q: What kind of equipment do I need?

A: At the very least, a good glove. You may also need cleats, a helmet, an equipment bag, and a bat. Bats must have the USA Baseball logo. Please refer to the Little League website for specific bat information, or visit usabat.com for an approved bat list. 

Q: What is this Little League Membership?

A: Little League International has recommended we create a membership opportunity that allows parents to buy-in and be voting members of Galveston Little League. Members will be invited to the Annual Meeting and will be able to vote for future elections, etc. The membership fee will go towards operating costs.
