Ladera Little League Registration
Our Mission
The Ladera Little League Board of Directors has vowed to provide its members the resources necessary to have an enjoyable Little League experience and adhere to the Little League International Mission.
The Organization
Ladera Little League is a non-profit organization made up of strictly volunteers. It consists of the Board of Directors, Managers, Coaches, Team Mom, Parents and Players, Volunteers.
The Leagues
T-Ball - (Ages 4-6)
Provides basic fundamentals of the game and introduces players to the concept of team play. This is a non-competitive league where players hit off a batting Tee. Scores are not officially recorded.
Rookie - (Ages 6-9)
Players upgrade from a batting tee to a pitching machine or coach pitch. Rookie provides players a better understanding and concept of the game. Basic skills are refined and stressed and kids generally play multiple positions. 6 year olds are eligible to play if they have played one year of T-ball. Players become more familiar with new positions and plays are now being made on a consistent basis.
Minor - (Ages 8-12)
Skill level increases and players are mixed with a variety of age levels and abilities. Players are allowed to steal bases and strategy is now being introduced.
Majors - (Ages 9-12)
Advance play. Skill level is much higher than that of Minors. Play is faster and pitching becomes more consistent and accurate. Strategy becomes an integral part of the game.
Juniors – (Ages 13-14)
High level and skill play. Players become high school, college and professional prospects.
Softball - (Ages 8-12)
Minor and Major Levels only.

Little League Residency Requirements
Each league shall determine the actual geographic boundaries of the area from within which it shall select players. Players will be eligible to play at Ladera Little League only if they reside within the boundaries shown to and approved by Little League Baseball, Incorporated.
A player will be deemed to reside within the league boundaries if:
A. His/Hers parents who are living together reside within such boundaries, or if not;
B. Either of the parents (or his/her court appointed legal guardian) reside within such boundaries.
“Residence,” “reside” and “residing” refers to a place of bona fide continuous habitation. A place of residence once established shall not be changed unless the parents, parent or guardian makes a bona fide change of residence.
Residence shall be established and supported by THREE OR MORE of the following categories to determine residency of such parent(s) or guardian:
1. Driver’s License.
2. Voter’s registration.
3. School records.
4. Welfare/child care records.
5. Federal records.
6. State records.
7. Local (Municipal) records.

It is recommended that the league require some proof of residence within the league’s boundaries at the time the player registers. Players and their parents/guardians should be advised in writing that a false statement of residence may lead to ineligibility to play Little League Baseball or Softball. Under NO circumstances does ANY person have the authority to grant a waiver that allows a child to play in a local Little League program IN ANY DIVISION, when that child does not qualify under these residency requirements.
If the claim for residency is challenged, three of the above materials must be submitted to Little League Baseball, Incorporated, with an affidavit of residency from the parent(s) or guardian, which shall decide the issue, will be final and binding. Residency documents must illustrate that the residence (as defined above) was inside the league’s boundaries for at least one-half of the regular season (as of June 15 of the year in question).
