When registering your children, you are able to participate in GLL's Adopt A Team program to help purchase training materials for our coaches. Thank you to the following families for making a contribution.
Now that our registrations are almost complete, League Athletics has come out with a new video on how to use the online registration system. Figures....
This video is generalized but does give the basics on how to use the system. However, there are some items that are different:
1) After you select a program and see the restrictions for your first child, you will be asked about our Adopt-A-Team donation program.
2) After you've registered your last child, you will see the screen that allows you to pay with a credit card or register another child. If you are paying by check, you are done on the computer and you can simply mail your check to: Box 553, Jenison, MI 49429 so we receive it before February 28.
GLL provides a way that volunteers can verify that their Volunteer Registration has been received by the league and the positions they desired were correctly selected. This list shows the volunteer name, division (if coaching or managing was desired) and the positions they selected. Please note that not all of the people on this list have cleared their background check. The list of approved volunteers will be provided at a later date.
Coaches and Managers should be registered by the February 7th deadline for player registrations so the Directors can start the Manager selection process. Managers will be selected at our February 15th meeting.
Please review the list if you have registered to ensure that we have the correct information. Link to Listrevised 2/6
If you have not registered yet, please do so before February 7th if you would like to be considered for a manager or coaching position. Link to Volunteer Registration
If you need any changes, please email them to me at

GLL is once again providing a way that parents can verify that their child has been registered into the correct division and has the correct shirt size. Sometimes us fathers don't really know what size shirts our kids really where and I receive emails from moms every year to change shirt sizes for their kids.
The list is printed out by Little League Division, then alphabetically by last name. We use only the first two letters of the last name and the month/day of the birthdate for security reasons. So simply find the correct division your child should be in, scan down the list of last "names," then verify the first name and birthday. The shirt size is listed on the far right. (Please note that we are using the same shirts as last year that are a 50/50 blend so they will not shrink.)
There have been many questions regarding the new fields and the proposed move. Here are some answers to some of the more popular questions.
Why is GLL proposing that the ball fields be relocated from 28th and Baldwin to 48th and Bauer?
In summary, there are three main reasons why GLL is proposing the move: a.Safety will be enhanced b.To accommodate our growth c.To provide our youth with a quality, “state of the art” Little League facility.
2.How so?
SAFETY: As you know, parking space is at a premium on.....

MC Sports has once again offered to make the UPM45 Blue Flame Pitching Machines available to our members at a huge discount.
