Programs and Services Offered by PTCLL

 

What types of programs does PTCLL offer?

 

PTCLL offers the following programs to residents of Peachtree City and surrounding communities.

 

  • Spring Baseball — Our spring recreational baseball program typically begins in late January and ends in mid-May. Turnout is typically very high, and the level of competition is also typically high. Boys and girls from ages 4 to 15 are eligible to participate.
  • Fall Baseball — Our fall recreational baseball program typically begins in August and ends in early November. Turnout is typically strong, but lower than spring baseball, and the level of competition is also lower than spring. Boys and girls from ages 4 to 14 are eligible to participate.
  • Challenger Baseball — Each spring and fall, we offer the Challenger program for special-needs children and adults ages 4 and up.
  • All-Star Baseball — Through our affiliation with Little League, we form all-star teams that compete against teams from other Little League organizations at various age levels in all-star tournaments during the summer all-star season. Players are chosen for our all-star teams based on their performance during the spring baseball season.

 

Does PTCLL offer a softball program?

 

No, PTCLL does not offer a softball program. But recreational softball for girls is available in Peachtree City through another local organization: the Peachtree City Girls Softball Association (PTCGSA) offers recreational softball for girls from ages 4 to 18. PTCGSA has no official affiliation with PTCLL or Little League International. For more information about PTCGSA, see https://www.ptcgsa.com/. Please direct all questions about PTCGSA to that organization at [email protected].

 

Does PTCLL offer a travel baseball program?

 

No, PTCLL does not offer a travel baseball program. But many of our players participate in travel baseball in addition to PTCLL baseball. There are many travel baseball teams active in and around Peachtree City.

 

Does PTCLL offer baseball camps, clinics, or individual lessons?

 

No, we do not offer baseball camps, clinics, or individual lessons. But there are several organizations in and around Peachtree City that offer these services, and many PTCLL players participate in them.

 


Eligibility to Participate in PTCLL Programs

 

What ages are eligible to participate in PTCLL programs?

 

Our spring baseball program is open to children whose League Age is 4 to 15. Our fall baseball program is open to children whose League Age is 4 to 14. A childʼs League Age is defined by Little League based on their month of birth. To determine your childʼs League Age for 2025, see Little Leagueʼs official 2025 League Age Chart.

 

Our challenger program is open to special-needs children and special-needs adults ages 4 and up.

 

My child is 3 years old but will turn 4 this year. Can he or she participate?

 

For liability insurance purposes, and as per Little League policy, our league does not allow a child to participate during a calendar year unless the child will be at least 4 years old prior to September 1. So, if your child will be 4 years old on or before August 31 of this year, then he or she may participate this year.

 

Our spring baseball program is open to children whose League Age is 4 to 15. Our fall baseball program is open to children whose League Age is 4 to 14. A childʼs League Age is defined by Little League based on their month of birth. To determine your childʼs League Age for 2025, see Little Leagueʼs official 2025 League Age Chart.

 

I do not live in Peachtree City. Can my child participate in PTCLL?

 

PTCLLʼs league boundary extends beyond Peachtree City and includes many of the surrounding communities. The following image shows our league boundary. If your child resides or attends school within the league boundary, then he or she is eligible to participate in PTCLL programs.

 

 

PTCLL League Boundary Map

 

If you are uncertain about whether your address falls inside PTCLLʼs league boundary, you can use the Little League Baseball League Finder tool to find out for sure.

 

Note that in some cases, PTCLL does allow out-of-boundary players to participate in our league. But in these cases, participation is subject to a Little League waiver process and requires endorsement by a PTCLL Board member. In addition, players who reside and attend school outside our league boundary are typically subject to a one-year “redshirt” rule that prohibits their participation in our all-star program until their second year of league participation.

 

To inquire about an out-of-boundary waiver, please contact us at [email protected].

 

My child plays for a travel baseball team. Can he or she also participate in PTCLL?

 

Yes, your child can participate in PTCLL baseball and also play travel baseball. PTCLL does not place any restrictions on players who choose to participate in both. For teams in our player-pitch divisions, we typically do not schedule weekend games, so that we can accommodate the schedules of those who play PTCLL baseball plus weekend travel baseball.

 

Note that if your child participates on multiple teams, we strongly urge you to exercise sound judgment to help prevent overuse injuries, particularly if your child is a pitcher or a catcher for a travel team as well as a PTCLL team. All players in PTCLLʼs player-pitch divisions are subject to Little League limitations on pitches per day and minimum rest requirements for pitchers within PTCLL. But we obviously cannot track or enforce any such requirements for baseball activities outside of PTCLL. It is therefore the responsibility of players and their parents to exercise due care and caution when participating in PTCLL as well as travel baseball.

 


Getting Involved with PTCLL

 

How can I volunteer my time with PTCLL?

 

PTCLL welcomes and encourages volunteer participation. Each season, our organization depends upon hundreds of volunteers who generously contribute their time for the benefit of our players. We have a variety of volunteer roles available. Most of our volunteers are parents or grandparents of children who participate in the league; however, this is not required. Anyone may volunteer, subject to completion of a mandatory Little League background check process and approval by the PTCLL Board of Directors. PTCLL works with a trusted third-party service to complete background checks for volunteers, and there is no cost to the volunteer for the background check.

 

Most of our volunteers participate in one of the following team-oriented volunteer roles.

 

  • Team Manager — A team manager is responsible for managing a team and serving as its “head coach”.
  • Assistant Coach — An assistant coach is responsible for assisting the team manager on the field during practices and games.
  • Team Volunteer — A team volunteer is responsible for assisting the team in the dugout and/or with other team administrative tasks.

 

To volunteer in one of these team-oriented roles, you first need to create an account and register on our league website at https://www.ptcll.org/. Then you can register using the “Register” button on the website. There is no financial cost to become a PTCLL volunteer; however, some volunteer roles require a substantial time commitment throughout the duration of the season.

 

In addition to these team-oriented volunteer roles, we have various other administrative volunteer roles available at the league level, including Board Member roles and League Officer roles. These roles typically require a higher level of commitment over a longer duration of time (e.g., one year or more). To inquire about volunteering in one of these roles, please contact us at [email protected].

 

Please note: As per Little League policy, all PTCLL volunteers must be at least 16 years of age. And as per PTCLL policy, all team managers must be at least 18 years of age. In addition, any volunteer with repeat access to children must complete an abuse awareness training course. Volunteers under 18 must complete the minors course. Volunteers over 18 must complete the adult course.

 

How can I become a sponsor of PTCLL?

 

Please contact our Sponsorship Director at [email protected].

 

How can I become a PTCLL umpire?

 

Please contact our Chief Umpire at [email protected].

 


League Structure, Capacity, Divisions of Play, and Teams

 

How are the divisions of play structured within PTCLL?

 

PTCLL offers three divisions of play, with participation based on a playerʼs League Age:

 

  • Our Tee Ball / Rookie Division is for players whose League Age is 4-6. Within this division, we typically form multiple subdivisions, including one or more Tee-Ball subdivisions and a Rookie subdivision. These subdivisions are non-competitive (i.e., wins and losses are not recorded) and are focused on having fun while learning the fundamentals of baseball. Tee Ball is primarily intended for first-time players and kids who are League Age 4-5, while Rookie Ball is intended for players who are League Age 5-6 and/or slightly more experienced.

 

  • Our Little League Division is for players whose League Age is 7-12. This division includes four subdivisions, in order of decreasing skill level and age: Majors, Triple-A (AAA), Double-A (AA), and Single-A (A). We slot players into subdivisions based on the results of our preseason player evaluations, as well as age and physical size. All four subdivisions are competitive (i.e., wins and losses are recorded, and standings are maintained), with standard Little League baseball rules (modified as appropriate per subdivision skill level) and officiated by impartial umpires.

 

  • The Majors subdivision is our highest-tier subdivision of player-pitch baseball at Little League field dimensions: 60-foot base paths and 46-foot pitching distance. It is primarily for kids whose League Age is 11-12, with exceptions for younger kids (League Age 10) as appropriate based on their physical size and skill level.
  • The Triple-A (AAA) subdivision is a lower-tier player-pitch subdivision at 60-foot/46-foot field dimensions. It is primarily for kids whose League Age is 10-11, with exceptions for younger kids (League Age 9) as appropriate based on their physical size and skill level.
  • The Double-A (AA) subdivision is a beginner player-pitch subdivision at 60-foot/46-foot field dimensions. It is designed as an introduction to player-pitch baseball, with appropriate rule modifications to ensure a positive experience for kids who are transitioning from coach-pitch baseball to player-pitch baseball. It is primarily for kids whose League Age is 9-10, with exceptions for younger kids (League Age 8) as appropriate based on their physical size and skill level.
  • The Single-A (A) subdivision is a coach-pitch subdivision at 60-foot field dimensions. It is primarily for kids whose League Age is 7-8, with exceptions for younger kids (League Age 6) as appropriate based on their physical size and skill level.

 

  • Our Senior Division is for kids whose League Age is 13-15. In this division, the base paths and pitching distance are the same as Major League Baseball (MLB) field dimensions (i.e., 90-foot base paths, 60.5-foot pitching distance), and the rules allow for all aspects of baseball, including leads, steals, balks, etc.

 

Please note the following “fine print” regarding our divisions of play.

 

  • Within the Little League division, a player may “play up” in a more competitive subdivision, or “play down” in a less competitive subdivision, subject to the age limits indicated above. Parents may request that their child play up or play down by adding a comment to that effect at registration time; however, all decisions regarding subdivision placement are subject to approval by the PTCLL Board, and we very rarely allow players to “play down”.
  • The age limits indicated above are in effect for our Spring Baseball program. For our Fall Baseball program, we adjust the League Age requirement downward by one year for each division and subdivision, thereby allowing players to gain experience at a higher level of play in preparation for the following spring season.

 

How many teams and players participate in PTCLL each season?

 

For logistical purposes, PTCLL places limits on the number of teams that we form each season. These limits are based on three factors: the number of fields that are available for our use at local facilities in Peachtree City, the number of individuals who volunteer to manage teams in any given season, and the “hard cap” limits imposed by PTCLLʼs charter with Little League International. In addition, PTCLL places limits on the number of players per team, so that we can keep team sizes at an optimal level for the benefit of the players. The maximum team size varies by age group.

 

Do PTCLL teams play against teams from other leagues?

 

The only PTCLL teams that play against teams from other leagues are our all-star teams. Within “regular season” play, all PTCLL teams play exclusively against other PTCLL teams.

 

Do PTCLL teams participate in travel ball tournaments?

 

No. PTCLL does not participate directly in travel baseball; however, many PTCLL players also participate in travel baseball in addition to PTCLL baseball.

 


Facilities

 

Where are games and practices held?

 

All games and most practices are held at the Peachtree City Athletic Complex, 1125 Hwy 74 S, Peachtree City, GA 30269.

 

However, due to field availability constraints, some teams may hold practices at the Braelinn Recreation Center, 201 Log House Rd, Peachtree City, GA 30269.

 

Where are preseason assessments held?

 

For most seasons, preseason assessments are held at D-BAT Peachtree City, 297 Dividend Drive, Peachtree City, GA 30269. Note that assessments are open only to players who have registered during the registration period. Parents of registered players will receive more information via email about assessments, including the assessment schedule, required equipment, etc.

 


Registration

 

I did not register my child to play during the registration period. Can my child still participate this season?

 

No. Unfortunately, as per our league policy, we do not accept late registrations. You will have to wait until registration opens for the following season.

 

When does registration open and close for the next PTCLL season?

 

For Spring 2025, registration opens on November 26, 2024, and closes on January 7, 2025.

 

What is the cost to participate in PTCLL?

 

For Spring 2025, the cost to participate in PTCLL is as follows.

 

  • For our Tee-Ball / Rookie Division: $175 per player
  • For our Little League Division and Senior Division: $250 per player

 

To determine your childʼs League Age, please see Little Leagueʼs official 2025 League Age Chart.

 

Are any discounts or fee waivers available?

 

We occasionally offer discounts and/or fee waivers, but only in cases of extreme financial hardship. To inquire about a discount or fee waiver, contact us at [email protected].

 

Is there a non-resident fee for players who do not live in Peachtree City?

 

In previous seasons, PTCLL charged a non-resident fee for players who reside outside Peachtree City; however, we no longer assess this fee.

 

Must my child “try out” to play in PTCLL?

 

No. There are no “tryouts” required for participation in PTCLL. All players who register during the registration period will be assigned to a team and will have an opportunity to play, regardless of experience or skill level. However, PTCLL does conduct preseason player assessments. These assessments serve two purposes:

 

  • They allow us to slot players into the appropriate division and subdivision based on their age, size, and skill level.
  • They allow us to estimate the relative skill level of each player within each division and subdivision, so that we can help ensure a reasonable level of competitive parity among the teams in each division and subdivision.

 

What PTCLL team will my child play on?

 

For our noncompetitive Tee-Ball and Rookie Division, players are assigned to teams at random (with due consideration for player age and size) or according to special requests for teammate and/or coach preferences.

 

For our Little League Division and Senior Division, players are assigned to teams through a structured draft process that is designed to promote competitive parity among all teams that will compete with each other during the season. Note that for these divisions, we do take teammate preferences and/or coach preferences into consideration; however, we prioritize competitive parity and safety first.

 

You can expect to receive an announcement via email about your childʼs team for the season within 2-3 weeks after registration closes, after we have completed the assessment and draft processes.

 

Who will coach my childʼs PTCLL team?

 

All our teams are coached by volunteers, and most of our volunteers are parents or grandparents of players. Each team has a team manager, and teams typically have two or more assistant coaches. All our volunteers are required to pass a mandatory Little League background check before they are permitted to coach.

 

Can I make a special request for specific teammates or coaches?

 

Yes. In most cases, PTCLL tries to accommodate special requests regarding coaches and teammates. We recognize that players and families often prefer to team up with friends and neighbors, either for carpooling purposes or simply for continuity among teammates and coaches from one season to another. But please note the following conditions and exceptions.

 

  • We Prioritize Safety and Competitive Parity — At the start of each season, all players who are age 7 and up go through a simple baseball skills assessment process to determine their approximate level of baseball ability. Based on the assessment results, players are then slotted into appropriate divisions of play and placed on teams within those divisions through a draft process. Our goal is to structure the divisions and teams so that players are playing with and against other players who are at a similar level of ability, and so that within each division, there is a reasonable level of competitive parity among the teams. In general, we try to honor teammate requests when structuring divisions and teams. However, in cases where a teammate request would lead to a competitive imbalance or compromise the safety of players, we will deny the request.
  • Requests MUST Be Made at Registration Time — When you complete the registration process for your child, you will have an opportunity to indicate any special requests for teammates or coaches. This is the only “official” communication channel through which you can make special teammate requests, and the only channel through which you can be certain that your special request will be seen and considered. Requests made through alternate communication channels (e.g., via email) may fall through the cracks, as we typically receive many emails from parents each season. So please make all special teammate requests at registration time.
  • Pragmatic Limitations Based on Team Sizes — In some cases, we may receive too many requests for a specific teammate and/or coach. Many of our long-time team managers have built great relationships with players and families over the years that they have coached, and it is not uncommon for dozens of players to request the same coach. In these cases, the team manager typically can choose which requests to honor, within the pragmatic constraints of team size as well as competitive parity.

 

Can I make a special request due to my personal or family schedule constraints?

 

In general, no, we cannot guarantee that your child will be placed on a team with a specific practice or game schedule. In a typical season, we have 500+ kids registered to play baseball, and 40+ teams across all our divisions. With this many players and teams, it is unrealistic for us to try to honor everyoneʼs personal schedule constraints. However, please note the following.

 

  • We typically do not schedule weekend games for teams in our player-pitch divisions, so that we can accommodate those who play PTCLL baseball plus weekend travel baseball and/or other weekend activities.
  • PTCLL is a recreational baseball program, so if your child needs to miss some practices or games occasionally, itʼs not typically a problem. We understand that parents and families are busy, and conflicts do arise. If you anticipate schedule conflicts for your child or your family, itʼs up to you to decide whether your child should play. During the season, if conflicts arise and your child cannot attend a team practice or a game, you can communicate with your team manager about it.
  • If you want greater control over your childʼs practice and game schedule, and if your schedule permits, we highly encourage you to consider volunteering as a team manager. As a team manager, you will have the ability to choose your teamʼs practice schedule (within certain constraints), and we will also try to work with you to make sure your teamʼs schedule works for you (again, within certain constraints).

 

Where should I submit the Little League Medical Release form for my child?

 

When you complete the registration process, your order confirmation email will include a link to a blank copy of the standard Little League Medical Release form. Many parents mistakenly assume that this form is to be completed and submitted to PTCLL. But the league does NOT need a copy of it and will not store a copy of it. This form is intended to be completed and submitted to your teamʼs manager at the start of the season. The purpose of the form is to provide written consent for medical treatment and instructions to first responders and other medical personnel if your child needs emergency medical treatment and a parent or guardian is not present to provide consent. It is your team managerʼs responsibility to keep a copy of this form on hand for all players on the team during all practices and games.

 


Preseason Assessments and Drafts

 

What is the purpose of the PTCLL preseason assessment process?

 

PTCLL conduct preseason player assessments for all players in the Little League Division and the Senior Division. These assessments serve two purposes.

 

  • They allow us to slot players into the appropriate division and subdivision based on their age, size, and skill level.
  • They allow us to estimate the relative skill level of each player within each division and subdivision, so that we can help ensure a reasonable level of competitive parity among the teams in each division and subdivision.

 

Must my child go through a preseason assessment?

 

ALL players who will play in the Little League Division or the Senior Division must go through a preseason assessment. Players who will play in the Tee-Ball / Rookie Division do not need to go through an assessment.

 

What does the preseason assessment process entail?

 

During the preseason assessment process, each player will participate in a series of simple baseball skill drills, including throwing, fielding, and hitting. Players who are old enough and have prior pitching experience can also undergo a pitching assessment. Based on these drills, we collect data about each playerʼs relative skill level, and that data is subsequently used when we form teams for the season. Our assessment process is overseen by members of the PTCLL Board of Directors.

 

When and where are preseason assessments held?

 

Typically, our preseason assessments are held at D-BAT Peachtree City, 297 Dividend Drive, Peachtree City, GA 30269. Note that assessments are open only to players who have registered during the registration period.

 

We do not publicly announce the preseason assessment schedule; however, parents of registered players will receive more information via email about assessments, including the assessment schedule by age group, required equipment, etc.

 

Is the assessment process a “tryout”?

 

No. There are no “tryouts” required for participation in PTCLL. All players who register during the registration period will be assigned to a team and will have an opportunity to play, regardless of experience or skill level.

 

Can I attend and observe the assessment process?

 

Yes, we welcome and encourage you to attend and observe the assessment process.

 

What is the purpose of the PTCLL preseason draft process?

 

At the start of each season, when we are forming divisions and teams, we try to create a reasonable level of competitive parity among the teams within each division. To do this, we organize a draft for each division. During the draft process, team managers take turns selecting players from among the roster of available players within their division, until all players in that division have been selected. Each team manager is given a copy of the assessment scores assigned to each player within the division, to help ensure a fair draft. The draft is organized and overseen by PTCLL Board members.

 

Does PTCLL permit players to be “frozen” on a specific team?

 

Officially, PTCLL policy does not permit any players to be “frozen” on a team prior to the draft, except for the children of the team manager. However, informally, we understand that team managers often have preferences for specific assistant coaches to help them, and we also understand that players often have a preferred manager for whom they want to play. At the draft, we try our best to accommodate team managersʼ preferences for assistant coaches and players, but we also reserve the right to disallow specific arrangements if we feel they would create an obvious and significant imbalance in team strength and competitive parity within the division. If there are any disagreements about what constitutes an obvious and significant imbalance, we settle them during the draft through open discussion and consensus among all the managers within a division.

 

Can I attend and observe the draft process?

 

The draft for each division is open only to team managers and assistant coaches within that division.

 


Rules, Equipment, and Uniforms

 

What are the official rules of play for PTCLL?

 

Since PTCLL is affiliated with Little League, we follow the official Little League Rules of Play as documented in the Little League Rulebook App, which is available for free download on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. For more information about this app, see https://www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/little-league-rulebook-app/.

 

In addition to following the official Little League Rules of Play, PTCLL also follows additional local rules as documented in our PTCLL Rules of Play document, which is available here.

 

What bats are permitted in PTCLL play?

 

Please see the official Little League Bat Rules, available at https://www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/bat-rules/. Note that the bat rules differ by age group and division of play.

 

In addition, please see the “Equipment” section of the PTCLL Rules of Play document, which is available here.

 

My child is new to baseball. What equipment must I get?

 

Your child needs a baseball glove, athletic shoes with rubber cleats (metal spikes are prohibited), a baseball bat, and a batting helmet. Your childʼs bat must comply with the official Little League Bat Rules, which are available at https://www.littleleague.org/playing-rules/bat-rules/. Note that the bat rules differ by age group and division of play.

 

Your childʼs helmet must comply with the official Little League rules regarding helmet safety, which state the helmet must be affixed with the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) symbol, indicating NOCSAE approval. In addition, the helmet must be free of cracks or other visible damage, and all the internal padding must not be missing, tattered, torn or frayed.

 

In addition to this equipment, your child needs to wear a uniform during games. See the following question for more about PTCLL uniform requirements.

 

Must I buy a uniform for my child?

 

Prior to the start of the season, your child will be assigned to a team. The teamʼs name and uniform colors will be chosen by the team manager. PTCLL will provide each player with a hat, jersey, and belt with the appropriate team logo and colors. You are responsible for providing your childʼs uniform pants and socks, as well as cleats. Your team manager will communicate with you to let you know what color pants and socks the team will wear.

 


Team Schedule and Communications

 

What is my teamʼs practice schedule and game schedule?

 

You will receive information about your teamʼs preseason practice schedule via email within a few days after your teamʼs roster has been announced. You will receive information about your teamʼs game schedule and in-season practice schedule 1-2 weeks prior to Opening Day for the season.

 

Where are my teamʼs practices and games held?

 

All games and most practices are held at the Peachtree City Athletic Complex, 1125 Hwy 74 S, Peachtree City, GA 30269.

 

However, due to field availability constraints, some teams may hold practices at the Braelinn Recreation Center, 201 Log House Rd, Peachtree City, GA 30269.

 

How do PTCLL teams manage communication among coaches and parents?

 

Most PTCLL teams use the GameChanger mobile app to manage communications among coaches and parents within the team. However, some team managers may choose to use a different method of communication, such as a group text or email.

 

How do I access my PTCLL team on the GameChanger mobile app?

 

If your team is using the GameChanger mobile app, you can access your PTCLL team within the app as follows.

 

  • Download GameChanger from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
  • Create an account in GameChanger using the same email address that you use to log into your account on the PTCLL website. It is important that you use the same email address as you use for the PTCLL website. If you donʼt, then the next step will not work properly.
  • On the GameChanger home screen, click on the plus (+) symbol at the top right, and choose “Import SportsConnect”.
  • Your PTCLL team should automatically import into GameChanger.

 

Please note: You will not be able to import your PTCLL team into GameChanger until after we have posted your teamʼs roster in our system (SportsConnect) and announced it to you via email.

 

I am a team manager. How can I send email to my entire team?

 

Here is how to send a “bulk” email to all parents of the players on your team via our SportsConnect platform. Note that this feature is available ONLY for team managers.

Little League All-Star Tournament Play

 

Do PTCLL teams participate in Little League All-Star tournaments?

 

Yes. Each summer, PTCLL forms all-star teams at multiple age levels, and these teams compete against other Little League all-star teams in Little League-sanctioned tournaments.

 

How are players selected for PTCLL all-star teams?

 

Little League all-star play happens each year during the summer months, after our spring season ends. Our all-star teams are comprised of players who participated during the spring season. We select players through a structured process (see below) in which team managers in each division of play cast a ballot and vote for the players who are most deserving of all-star selection based on their spring season performance.

 

PTCLL uses the following process to select players for its all-star teams. Note that this process applies only to the spring season. We do not select all-stars during the fall season.

 

  • At the midpoint of the regular season, team managers in each division submit a list of the players from their team who they feel should be considered for all-star team selection.
  • The names submitted for consideration are consolidated into an “all-star watch list” for each age group, and the watch lists are distributed to team managers. Note that managers only receive watch lists for the age groups in their respective divisions.

  • At the conclusion of the regular season, each team manager submits an all-star ballot for each age group in their division. (For example, if a division consists of players who are age 9-10, then managers in that division submit an all-star ballot for 9-year-olds and a ballot for 10-year-olds.) On each all-star ballot, a manager may vote for up to 9 players.

  • Votes are tallied for each age group, and when necessary, ties are broken by the all-star team manager for that age group based on the needs of the all-star team.

  • The official all-star roster for each age group is posted on the PTCLL website at the end of the season, in accordance with rules and dates imposed by Little League.

 

How are managers selected to manage PTCLL all-star teams?

 

Any person interested in managing a PTCLL all-star team must apply for the position by submitting their name to the PTCLL All-Star Program Director at [email protected] for consideration prior to August 1 of the prior year.

 

PTCLL all-star team manager selections are in effect for one year only. Selection as an all-star team manager in the previous year does not imply automatic selection as an all-star manager in the following year.

I lost a glove, bat, or other item at the fields. Is there a PTCLL Lost & Found bin?

 

PTCLL maintains an unofficial “Lost & Found” bin inside the snack stand on the “Upper Pinwheel” of the PAC. The Upper Pinwheel is the group of four fields (Fields 5-8) at the southernmost end of the PAC. If you have lost an item, we encourage you to visit the snack stand during its hours of operation and ask to see the Lost & Found bin. The snack stand is typically open whenever games are being played on Upper Pinwheel fields. Please note that PTCLL is not responsible for any items left at the PAC or any other facility where our teams practice and play.
