Game Reporting

Reporting Scores

The home team manager is responsible to update the game's final score.

To input your team's score:

1. Navigate to your team page and click the Calendar tab.

2. On the calendar page, click on Results.

3. Enter the run totals and click Enter.

Uniform

The league provides hat and jersey.

All players should have a glove that fits the player's hand (not too big).  Glove sizes are in inches.  A general rule of thumb for glove sizes is as follows

•  9” to 10” for players 5-6 years old

• 9 1/2” to 10 1/2” for players 7-8 yrs old

• 10” to 10 1/2” for players 9-10 yrs old

• 10 1/2” to 11” for players 11-12 yrs old

All players must wear a batting helmet.  Batting helmets also require a facemask. 

Boys in coach pitch and above must wear a protective cup.

We ask that all players have their own bat.  Before buying, review Little League's bat requirements (see below).

Bats have what is called a "drop" number.  This is calculated by subtracting the length from the weight.  So a 20 oz bat that is 30 inches long is a -10 or drop 10. Drop numbers bats for Majors and below range from -10 to -14. Heavier baseball bats provide more power, while lighter baseball bats will give a player more bat control and increased bat speed. The exact weight will be a personal preference. As far as length the following chart provides good guidelines.

Click here for detailed information on baseball bat rules from Little League. The USABat Standard gives our young baseball players the benefits of using non-wood bats that have a better weight-balance, are easier for younger players to handle, and are more durable, while providing the response to many who believe the game should be played with wood bats. The new USABat standard is a performance standard only.
