Per Little League policy, each family is to provide a copy of the player’s birth certificate and 3 proofs of residency establishing residency in the CLLL boundaries as of or earlier than February 1, 2012.  Per guidelines, CLLL will be retaining the copy of this documentation.  The birth certificate need only be provided once during the player’s tenure with CLL while residency must be re-established each season.

The good news is that most families probably already have 3 valid proofs of residency in their car.  If you can provide a copy of your driver’s license, car registration and proof of car insurance.  As long as those 3 documents have your address on it then the residency requirement has been satisfied!  For additional qualifying documents, visit our Eligibility and Boundary page.

Please note: Multiple utility bills cannot be used.  Little League only allows us to accept 1 as a proof of residency, in addition to 2 other proofs.

Each family should provide CLLL with a copy of the player’s birth certificate and 3 proofs of residency to CLLL via Email.

*  Email:
If you have the ability to scan your documents, you may scan them and email them to the Player Agent at clllresidency@gmail.com.  Please make sure the scans are legible.

*  Tryouts:
Do NOT bring your information to tryouts.  Coordinating this information along with trying to process the kids for their evaluations presents a number of logisitical problems that we would like to avoid.

This new requirement puts us more in line with the expectations of Little League, International and removes some of the burden on the team Managers at the beginning of the season.  All players will be required to have provided this documentation to the league prior to the beginning of practices in March, or the player will not be able to participate in practices or in games.

This is a significant change to how we, as CLLL families, have grown accustomed to so we appreciate your support as we implement this new procedure.

In keeping with the community spirit of Little League baseball, this year Central Loudoun Little League (CLLL) will be conducting a food drive in support of Loudoun Interfaith Relief (LIR).

Loudoun Interfaith Relief is a non-profit organization located in Leesburg that provides food to Loudoun County residents in need.  Last year donations to LIR provided over 75,000 individuals with enough food to prepare more than 750,000 meals.  LIR requires either proof of residency or a referral and personal identification in order to receive assistance.

Within the Central Loudoun Little League’s boundaries (roughly zip codes 20175 and 20176), approximately 20% of all elementary school age children are eligible for free or reduced cost lunches.  These are families in our community and these are CLLL-age kids.

We are asking that each player bring 2 food items from the following list to our Opening Night Ceremonies on Friday April 13th at Freedom Park:

1. Cereal
2. 100% juice
3. Canned fruit
4. Canned meats (tuna or chicken)
5. Macaroni & cheese
6. Chef Boyardee products
7. Canned soups with meat and vegetables

In addition to our initial donation efforts on opening day, a collection point will be established at the Murphy Building at Good Times Park that will be open throughout the season.

Thank you for supporting CLLL and Loudoun Interfaith Relief.

Sincerely,

CLLL Board of Directors
