Important Registration Information for 2025
PLAYERS LEAGUE AGE 4-7 CAN REGISTER IN THE LEAGUE OF THEIR CHOICE -
New for the 2025 season, children League Age 4-7 are eligible to register to play with Gig Harbor Little League regardless if they reside or attend school within our league boundaries. Those players who register under this option will also be fully eligible to participate in all aspects of league play, including International Tournament play, for the duration of their Little League careers provided they have continuous and unbroken participation within the specific league where initially registered and provided all other participation eligibility requirements have been met.
NOTE: This is for players League Age 4-7 only. Players League Age 8-16 as of the 2025 season (born on or before September 1, 2017, for Baseball or January 1, 2017, for Softball) will continue to utilize the current boundary requirement based on residency or school enrollment.
REGISTERING FOR MINORS BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL -
New for the 2025 season, during the registration process, players League Ages 8-11 will only be given the option to register for Minors Baseball or Minors Softball rather than the Coach/Player Pitch "AA" or Player Pitch "AAA" divisions as we have done in the past.
THIS IS FOR REGISTRATION PURPOSES ONLY, we will still be offering both of these divisions of play.
At Player Evaluations in February, all players registered in Minors Baseball or Minors Softball will be evaluated for both the Coach/Player Pitch (AA) and Player Pitch (AAA) divisions at the same time - players who want to be considered to "play up" will not have to attend two different evaluations sessions as we required in past years.
Following evaluations, Minors Baseball and Softball players will be drafted to a team at the level most appropriate level for their skills and experience, in either the Coach/Player Pitch (AA) and Player Pitch (AAA) divisions.
NOTE *As always, all League Age 10 and 11 year olds who attend Player Evaluations will also be evaluated for the Majors division, and may be drafted to a Majors team.
TEAMMATE/COACH REQUESTS -
Due to Little League Rules regarding the operation of our league and our draft process, for our Baseball and Softball programs, we cannot accommodate any teammate, coach, carpool or scheduling conflict requests, nor can we switch players to another team once the teams have been drafted.
Our Tee Ball and Quickball programs the only programs in which we accommodate coach and/or teammate requests if possible.
AGE VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
Gig Harbor Little League provides programs for players “League Age” 4 to 16. You can determine your child's league age by clicking this link - League Age Calculator. You will be required to upload a copy of your player's birth certificate as proof of age during the registration process, and will not be able to proceed with registration until you have done so, so please make sure you have your players birth certificate before beginning the registration process. It must be a clearly legible document. ***NOTE - if you are a returning player, you should not have to upload a copy of your child's birth certificate as you had already done so as part of the registration previously.***
