Registration for the 2021 season has closed and programs are now Waitlist only.  

**Players who are added to the waitlist are not guaranteed placement on a team.** 

The GHLL Board will determine which players, if any, we are able to accept from our waitlist. Players are not necessarily accepted from the waitlist on a "first come, first served" basis. A player will only be placed on a team within the league (American or National) that they are eligible to play in, if there is a team with an available spot in a division appropriate for their age and skill level. It is impossible for us to predict if/when we'll be able to accommodate a waitlisted player, since roster spots will only become available due to a player drop. 

NOTE: If you are new to GHLL, please read the Residence Eligibility Information detailed at the bottom of this page to determine if your player is eligible to play in GHLL.

If you have any further questions, please contact [email protected]

2021 Gig Harbor Little League Registration Information and Eligibility Requirements

** Please read the following information before proceeding to online registration **

1. AGE VERIFICATION REQUIREMENTS

Gig Harbor Little League provides programs for players “League Age” 4 to 16. You can determine your child's league age by clicking this link -  League Age Calculator. Once you have determined what age group your child falls into, you will need to make sure you have an original birth certificate to show proof of your child’s age. You will be required to upload a copy of your player's birth certificate during the registration process, and will not be able to proceed with registration until you have done so, so please make sure you have your players birth certificate before beginning the registration process. It must be a clearly legible document. ***NOTE - if you are a returning player from 2020, you should not have to upload a copy of your child's birth certificate as you had already done so as part of the registration process last year.***

2. RESIDENCY AND SCHOOL ATTENDANCE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS 
Confirm that your player meets the Residency or School Attendance Eligibility requirements - players will be eligible to play with GHLL only if you reside or attend a school within the GHLL boundaries.

Players and their parents/guardians are advised that a false statement of age, residence or school attendance may lead to ineligibility to play Little League Baseball or Softball.

3. Once you have completed these steps, you can now proceed to Online Registration. Note: You will only be able to register your player in the division for which they are League Age eligible. 

*If your player does not meet the Little League residency or School Attendance requirements but you feel your player may be eligible with a waiver, before proceeding to online registration please contact: 
Candy Nelson, GHLL Registrar at [email protected]. 

NOTE: Registration for the Majors Baseball and Softball Divisions is only open to League Age 12 years olds; however, all League Age 10 and 11 year olds who attend Evaluations are eligible to play in the Majors division and may be drafted to a Majors team.

4. Because of the size of our league, GHLL has been split into two separate leagues - Gig Harbor American Little League (GHLL American) and Gig Harbor National Little League (GHLL National), operated under one Board of Directors. Both past and new players entering the league, in ALL divisions, will be placed in the respective League for the remaining duration of his or her GHLL career, as outlined below: 

• All players entering or returning to the league whose day of birth is an odd number will be designated as a National League player and be eligible for draft to a National League team only.
• All players entering or returning to the league whose day of birth is an even number will be designated as an American League player and be eligible for draft to an American League team only

Due to this, and Little League Rules regarding the operation of our league and our draft process, for our Baseball and Softball programs, we cannot accommodate any teammate, carpool or scheduling conflict requests, nor can we switch players to another team once the teams have been drafted. 
Our Tee Ball division is the only division in which we accommodate teammate requests if possible. 

If you have any questions or issues with the registration process, please email our Registrar.
