-- Spring registration for the HLL baseball program closed on February 10th --

 

• If you registered BEFORE the deadline, no further action is required at this time
  • Please DO NOT ask the league to check on the individual status of your registration data - the league reviews every registration entry to ensure completion
  • If anything is missing from your registration, the league will reach out to finalize outstanding material
  • The league will notifiy participants with their team placements in mid to late March (if not sooner), after the team formation/draft process has been finalized
  • TeamSnap will be activated after the team formation and/or draft process has concluded
  • Team rosters and schedules will be provided on the TeamSnap "app" AND the HLL website upon completion
  • To find out more about the plans for the spring season, tryout sessions (Minor/Major League) and to view a tenative timeline for each division, please visit the respective topic under the "headlines" section on our website.

 

• If you DID NOT register BEFORE the deadline, your child can still join the waiting list by completing the following: Online Form to Join the HLL Baseball Waiting List: https://forms.gle/Q8D2cP6FVAvAkRuK8
  • The league is currently assessing the registration data to determine additional availability within the programs (TBD) - due to the high volume of registrations, this process takes time
  • While the league works incredibly hard to move participants from the "waiting list" into their respective programs whenever possible, it is not always guaranteed
  • Keep in mind that there are a set number of teams allotted per division AND limitations on the roster sizes per team - the outcome will be dependent upon the registration numbers within each division; some divisions may have openings, while others may have already reached maximum capacity (TBD)
