Family Participation Program (Volunteering)
Pocket Little League families play a huge role in the success of our league. PLL is run 100% by volunteers and we need all of our families to get involved. Throughout the season, there are a variety of opportunities for everyone to participate and contribute to the success of our teams and Pocket Little League.
What is the expectation?
Pocket Little League requires a minimum of 8 hours of volunteer service, plus one shack shift for each player in the league.
A volunteer services deposit of $150 is required for each player. Volunteer checks will be collected by Managers when uniforms are handed out before the start of the season. Players will not receive their uniform until the volunteer check is provided. Please make checks payable to Pocket Little League.
To fulfill the volunteer services requirement, a player’s family must complete the required 8 hours of volunteer time, including at least one shift in the snack shack, no later than July 31, 2019. Once the required volunteer services hours have been completed, the $150 deposit will be returned to you, or shredded, if you prefer. If the required volunteer services hours are not completed by the deadline, your $150 deposit check will be cashed in August, 2019.
If you do not intend to complete the volunteer services hours, please notify your Team Parent it is okay to cash the $150 deposit check.

Fall Ball Registration Now Open!
Missing baseball already? You’re in luck! 2019 Fall Ball online registration is NOW OPEN for Pocket Little League sluggers of all ages!
PLL Fall Ball is a non-competitive, instructional season, which runs from September through the end of October. The instructional nature of PLL’s Fall Ball program allows players to gain experience at all positions, without the stress of high-level competition and seasonal standings. This valuable experience is hard to replicate in any other league setting. It’s also a great opportunity for kids to play games in higher divisions, as they prepare to move up next Spring. Fall Ball is more laid back than Spring Season, with a focus on developing and honing skills for those moving up, as well as for those returning to the same division.
Fall Ball will begin the first week of September. The registration fee ($50 for T-ball & Minor A divisions, or $65 for Minor AA and above) includes Fall Ball hat and shirt. Games and clinics will be held on Sundays, with optional practices held once a week per division (T-ball through Majors). Pick your child’s division based on the Little League age chart for the 2020 season. Registration for Fall Ball is online only and closes on September 4th, so follow the link and sign up today!
