We offer many divisions for our players age 4 to 16 in spring, summer and fall each of which is filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Based on enrollment, waiting lists and timing will determine how many teams are in a division. GLL is chartered for ALL it's divisions (baseball, challenger, and softball) thru Little League International in Williamsport PA. GLL provides each player with a hat/visor, jersey and player accident coverage. The player accident insurance only goes into effect as a secondary option IF the family does not have their own insurance. This coverage starts at participation and ends when a player ends his/her last game for the session..
Little League offers the players the opportunity to participate in dual programs, if they choose. The LL World Series path starts at age 8 and continues all the way up to age 16 for baseball and softball - wouldn't it be nice to try your skills on one of these teams? The steps start at District, Sectional, Eastern Regional and then the World Series.
You must provide player with glove, pants and transportation to and from games and practices.
Male players-parents need to provide athletic support for the rookie division up.
