Welcome to Orangecrest Little League! Here’s everything you need to know about eligibility, registration, fees, and important dates for the Spring 2026 season.

Player Eligibility

Players may register in any Little League program (“League Choice”) without regard to geography or school requirements.

SPRING SEASON ONLY: I understand that all players League Age 7 and older must participate in Player Evaluations—unless excused by the Player Agent—in order to be eligible for the draft and to ensure fair placement based on skill level. Any player who does not attend Player Evaluations and is not excused will be blind-drafted into the lowest division their league age qualifies them for (e.g., a League Age 10 player would be blind-drafted into AA). The league also reserves the right to deem any player who does not participate in Player Evaluations as ineligible for All-Star selection. All players are drafted into divisions based on evaluations and eligibility — this may differ from the division selected during registration, as a player may be drafted into any division they qualify for based on their League Age.
