In addition to a registration fee, parents are required to participate in our league fundraiser to help offset the real cost of playing at WBLL. We ask that parents sell all tickets provided to the league fundraiser.
AVAILABLE GRANTS:
T-MOBILE has graciously paid millions of dollars of registration fees for eligible players over the last few years. The T-Mobile Grant program is available for families that qualify. Money is available annually for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, click on the T-Mobile Grant tab of this website.
LEAGUE AGE REQUIREMENTS:
If your child is between the ages of 4 and 14 according to the league age charts, they have met the first eligibility requirement to play. To determine your child's league age, please refer to the tab labeled "Determining League Age" on the left-hand side of our main page.
RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS:
Little League rules require players to play within their zone. A player is considered to be in our zone if they live or attend school within the West Brownsville Little League in-zone area. To find out if you are in our zone, please refer to the tab labeled "Map" located on the left-hand side of our main page. On the pull down menu, click on "Boundary Map". The boundary map can be zoomed in to look for your child's school or place of residence. If you are inside the red highlighted area, you have met the second eligibility requirement to play.
