How

Can
I choose what team my child plays on?
El Dorado Hills
Little League tries to accommodate parent requests for our
T-Ball, Coach Pitch, A and AA divisions. AAA and above are
'draft' level divisions, and this limits what we can do to
accommodate requests. EDHLL will try to honor coach and carpool
requests, but there is no guarantee.

When
will I know what team I'm playing on?
AAA, Majors, Juniors
and Seniors division managers will contact players immediately
following team drafts, usually within a day or two. Drafts
are held within two weeks of the Junior and Major Division
Try-Outs and AA and AAA (formerly Minor) Division Assessment
events in February. Please refer to the Calendar for dates.
All
other division managers will begin contacting player soon
after the division coordinators form the teams. This usually
occurs the first or second week of March.

When
will I know about schedules for practices?
Each Manager will
let you know your team's practice schedule when they first
contact you. For AAA and below, most managers will schedule
two practices a week until the season starts. After the season
has started, teams may or may not continue to have one practice
a week. The goal of practices is to teach specific skills
and game situations, so player attendance is a must!

When
will I know about game schedules?
Game schedules will
be provided to you by your manager just prior to the season
opening.

Do
I have to also buy a team uniform?
No, a team jersey
and cap are provided as part of the registration fee. You
might want to purchase baseball pants, baseball cleats, baseball
socks and a baseball belt to round out your uniform. We recommend
not buying your socks or belt until you know the color of
you team jersey.

What
equipment to I need?
Each
player needs to supply their own glove. El Dorado Hills Little
League recommends that players in the A Division and above
wear baseball cleats. Bats, batting helmets and catcher's
gear will be provided by the league for team practice and
game use. Boys in the A division and above are required to
wear an athletic cup.

Can
I use my own bat or helmet?
Absolutely! Bats
must have a logo that shows 'approved by Little League of
America' or 'Little League Approved'. Umpires will not allow
use of a bat if this logo is not evident. El Dorado Hills
Little League strongly recommends that each player buy and
maintain your own helmet. Its for your safety and much easier
to control hygiene. At the Majors and Juniors division levels,
most players have their own bats and helmets.

Do
you need Coaches, Umpires, or other volunteers?
El Dorado Hills
Little League is a completely volunteer program. We are always
looking for enthusiastic people to help support the league
in any capacity that they can. We would welcome anyone willing
to volunteer their time to coach, umpire, keep score or help
with a number of other duties. If you are interested in volunteering
go to our Board Directory and click on the presidents e-mail
to send a message.

El Dorado Hills Little League provide training for Managers
and Coaches?
Yes, El Dorado Hills

or early March for Managers and Coaches to review safety,
first aid, and to participate with understanding and updating
our Local League Rules. You are important to this process!
