GENERAL INFORMATION - LEAGUE AGE
Your player will play in the division based on their LEAGUE AGE. It may not match their current age as it's based on their age on a certain date. Your player's division for Spring 2023 is based on their age on August 31, 2023. This is considered their League Age.

The registration system will only allow you to register your players for the appropriate age division based on their birthdate. We do not allow players to play up or down in age. The division that the system shows you IS the correct division for your player.

AAA is available, through a selection process, for age divisions 7-year-olds to Majors.

REFUND POLICY
Once a player has attended skills assessments (or skills assessments dates have all passed), no refunds are given. Once rosters are released, no refunds are given. Refunds during the season are considered on an individual basis due to injury or illness.

PRE-SEASON PRACTICE SCHEDULES
You will not receive pre-season practice schedules until you are contacted by your player's Head Coach. 

Prior to the start of the season, teams typically practice 2-3 times per week. 1-2 evening practices during the week and one of Saturday. Times will vary. These practice times are provided by ORWALL at the ORWALL facility. Head Coaches may opt to schedule other practices on their own.

Once the season begins, the Head Coach of the team is responsible for scheduling all practices for the team.

GAME SCHEDULES
Game schedules will not be released until after practices have started.

Teams typically play 2 games per week -- One evening game during the week and one on Saturday. (AAA divisions may have different schedules.) Saturday games begin at times between 9:00am and 6:00/7:00pm. Times will vary week by week.

For our players 7 and older, teams will have a few late start weeknight games during the season. These games typically begin at 7:45/8:00pm. The schedule is balanced across all teams so every team will have some late games. If we end up with a lot of weather cancellations during the season, some teams may have more late games as those are often our available time slots for rescheduled games.

For our younger players, our goal is to only have them play early evening games. If we end up with a lot of weather cancellations during the season, some teams may have a late start game as those are often our available time slots for rescheduled games. We do our best to limit those late games to Friday evenings.

BASEBALL SKILLS ASSESSMENTS FOR LEAGUE AGE 7-12
Players do not have to attend a skills assessment. All players will be on a team. If a player does not attend a skills assessment, they will not be eligible to be drafted by a coach. They will be randomly hat picked onto teams at the end of the draft in the draft order.

All players who wish to be considered for AAA divisions (League Ages 7-12) MUST attend a skills assessment. If they do not, they will not be eligible to be drafted into AAA. No exceptions.

Players only need to attend ONE skills assessment.

• Tuesday, January 17th – Skills Assessments (for ages 7-12)
• Wednesday, January 18th – Skills Assessments (for ages 7-12)
• Thursday, January 19th – Skills Assessments (for ages 7-12)
• Saturday, January 21st – Skills Assessments (for 7-12)

Links to skills assessment sign ups will be emailed to all participants approximately 2 weeks prior to the first skills assessment date.

Junior and Senior divisions skills assessment information will be held on different dates due to high school sports tryouts. We will email that information as soon as we have it.

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
The volunteer badging process is done completely online through the orwallbaseball.com website. During registration, you will have the opportunity sign up for a volunteer badge (recommended for all parents/guardians).

Everyone must have their background check run again for 2023. No previous badges are valid.

All volunteers who are on the field or in the dugout with the kids MUST have a badge. Beginning in Spring 2023, badges will be digital and will be provided to you via email.

Each Little League volunteer is required to have an annual background check. Your badge lets our umpire staff and board members know that you have passed the required background check.

During the signup process, you will be required to submit your Social Security Number and Driver's License information through our secure server. You will also need to upload a photo of your Driver's License and a photo of yourself that will be used to print your badge.

Once you have completed the online portion, you will receive an email with the subject line "ORWALL LITTLE LEAGUE Background Questionnaire Notification." Please read and complete the process outlined (it only takes a few minutes). If you do not complete this portion, you will not be eligible to receive a badge as your background check will not have been completed.

We encourage all parents/guardians to get a badge. You never know when you may need to help out!
