Registration for the UCLL 2017 Spring baseball season is now open! Please visit our web site, www.ucll.org, to register your children. Early registration will run until December 21, after which a late registration fee will be added.

This year we are providing online documentation submittal. We encourage you to take advantage of this feature to make our registration process a little easier for everyone. You will still need to come to a document collection event to submit a snack bar deposit.

We will be having document collection events on Friday, November 18 from 5pm to 8pm at Standley Rec Cenver, and Saturday, December 10 from 9am to 1pm at Canyonside Baseball and Softball Academy, where they will be holding a free skills clinic.

Little League International has announced that they will be updating their baseball bat standards starting with the 2018 season. They have posted the announcement on their web site at http://www.littleleague.org/media/llnewsarchive/2015/may-august/little-league-usa-baseball-bat-standard-2018.htm. If you follow the link at the bottom of the page that takes you to the USA Baseball web site, they note that bat manufacturers will begin selling bats that are approved for the 2018 season in the fall of 2017. For that reason, we are recommending that you do not purchase a new bat for the 2017 season, and if you do, to be aware that you will not be able to use it for the 2018 season unless it has the USA Baseball logo.

Interested in sponsoring a UCLL baseball team and get your business advertised in newsletters, directory, on our website, and on the field reaching all of University City and more than 200 families? You can get all that advertising for only $250 a team! Sponsorships start as low as $65 for a business card size advertisement and go up to $500 to have two banners hung throughout the UCLL season at two of our three UCLL fields. Please contact our ads and sponsors chair, Paula Obrigewitch, at pccinpb@san.rr.com for more information.

As you can see from our contacts page, we have many open UCLL Board positions that need filling. We encourage you to help your community Little League and volunteer for an open position. Without volunteers, there is no Little League. You can either contact a board member directly by email, or you can note on your child's registration that you are interested in volunteering. Of course, besides the UCLL Board, we also invite you to consider coaching or managing a team this year. Or do both, like many of our current board members!

You can add our league calendar to your smartphone so you won't miss any of our events! Please see our web site for details.
