February 18, 2010
By FLD6-DA Greg Sinadinos

Every child MUST play at the Local League in which Boundary they live, unless they have an APPROVED WAIVER from Little League Baseball Inc in Williamsport PA. 

Your District Administrator, District Staff, Local League President or Board of Directors Members, Coaches, Managers can NOT grant waivers of any kind.  If you have been told they can, you have been misled.  Only Williamsport can grant such a waiver.

TYPES OF WAIVERS :

  1. REGULATION II(d) WAIVER
     
    The Parents / Guardian of the Player must have lived in the Local League's boundary while the Player was registered and playing (at least 1/2 season) at the Local League.  If due to a residential move or league boundary change, the Parents / Guardian no longer live in the boundary of the Local League, the Player may be Approved to continue playing at their former park with a waiver.  Siblings of Players who are Approved to play under Regulation II(d) may also qualify to play at the Local League.
     
    3 Valid Proofs of Residency from the last season in which the player resided within the Local League boundary are required for this waiver request.

  2. REGULATION IV(h) WAIVER
     
    This waiver is similar to a II(d) Waiver in that the Parents / Guardian must have previously lived in the Local League's boundary and be able to produce 3 Proofs of Residency of such.  The Parent / Guardian must have continued Volunteer Service to the Local League in the capacity of a Board Member or Coach in order to qualify for this waiver.
