When is registration?
Registration for our main Spring Season generally opens in mid November and runs until March 15. Registration for the Baseball AAA and Baseball Majors division closes in mid January, in advance of the mandatory tryout, which typically takes place late January. Look for emails from the League about registration for other programs throughout the year.

Can players play up?
Greenwich Village Little League does not allow kids to play out of their age brackets. We sometimes make exceptions for kids born between September and December so they can play with their classmates, but this is the only exception we make to the rule and there is no guarantee that requests will be granted.
We get so many requests each year and we have to strictly enforce this or else everyone would be playing outside their ages.
However, if you believe that an exception should be made for your child you should contact the league prior to registering. We make no guarantees that your request will be granted.
Are younger players ever called up to older divisions?
Yes, call-ups occur when there are too few players on any given weekend to field a AAA or Majors team due to illness, injury or travel tournaments. Majors managers who are short players and who need call-ups to fill their rosters will contact the AAA Coordinator for recommendations of qualified players. AAA managers who are short players and who need call-ups to fill their rosters will contact the Minors Coordinator for recommendations of qualified players. If your child is chosen as a call-up, you will be contacted by that team’s manager in the days prior to the game in which he or she would play.
What are the league boundaries?
Starting in Spring 2025, all players age U8 and up must live or go to school within GVLL's league boundary. GVLL’s boundary map can be viewed here. Please note that players U8 and older who do not have a U7 sibling in the league must have at least one parent or legal guardian living within the catchment, or must attend school in the catchment in order to play for GVLL.
Players aged U4 to U7 can now register for GVLL regardless of geography. They are no longer required to have a home or school address that falls in the GVLL catchment. If you’re unsure of your child’s little league age, please click here for their baseball age.
Players U8 and older who have a U4 to U7 sibling registered in GVLL can also play in GVLL regardless of school or address.
What documents do I need to provide for my player?
Everyone must must provide proof of your player's age (passport, birth certificate, state ID) as well as proof of residence or school location during registration. Even if your player is in one of the groups listed above, you will still be prompted for proof of school or residency when you go through registration. But if you are not in our zone you will still be able to play.
Acceptable proof of residence documents are:
- Utility bill or rent statement (within the past 6-months)
- Parent drivers’ license (not expired)
OR
If you go to school in our catchment, you must provide one of the following:
- A completed LLoA School Enrollment Form.
- Proof of school enrollment (current school year)
- Tuition payment
- School portal screen shot (with child’s name and current year)
- Report card (with child’s name and current year)
Even if you have played with GVLL previously, if you are not able to provide any of the requested documentation please contact [email protected] for instructions.
What if my address has no Little League, and my player is U9 or older?
Does your Little League not offer a Spring Program? Or do you live in an area with no Little League? Contact [email protected].
How do I upload my child’s registration documents?
During registration you will be prompted to upload these files as attachments.
What do my registration fees pay for?
Your registration fees help to cover the costs of:
- Uniforms (jersey, baseball pants, heart guard, socks, belt and cap)
- Team equipment (batting helmets, catcher’s gear, balls, bases, and first aid supplies)
- Professional instruction at the P3 Baseball Facility inside Pier 40, as well as all other outdoor team and division practices
- Professional umpires for Minors division and above
- Field permits and field conditioning supplies

Can I register late?
Depending on the division you wish to register for, you may be able to register late (on and after March 1st).
Email [email protected] details. GVLL cannot guarantee late registrants will be accepted.
My child wants to try out for Baseball Majors. Should I just register him for Majors even though I don't know if he'll make it into that division? What happens if he doesn't make it?
If your child plans to try out for Majors, choose that division when registering. If they are a U12, or if they've played in the Majors division last year, they will be drafted onto a Majors Team. If they try out and are not drafted onto a Majors team, they might be drafted onto a AAA team. The AAA division is a more competitive subset of the Minors division. If they don't make Majors or AAA, they will be put in our Minors division. (AAA and Minors are open to U9, U10 and U11 players).
Once my child is assigned to a team, what is expected of me and my child?
Please refer to the Parent and Player contracts for specific information regarding expectations of you and your child. For a list of equipment you need to provide for your child, please read the equipment section of the FAQ. Your Team Manager will email you with further information regarding your responsibilities prior to the start of the season.
