PLAYER REGISTRATION AND PLACEMENT POLICY

In many cases, the number of families registering for RBVLL exceeds our available number of teams in any one particular division.  The limitations of our enrollment size is directly related to the number of baseball fields that we currently have available to use.  As such, RBVLL’s procedure for player placement is as follows:

1. Players who in the previous season were selected for an All-Star team (10U, 11U, 12U, and 13U)

2. Players with a parent/guardian who have volunteered to Manage in which the division the player was Registered does not have a sufficient number of qualified Managers

3. Players with a sibling in the same or different divisions

4. Players who are returning and have played in two (2) or more consecutive Spring seasons

For Divisions with two or less teams: 

5. Players who have Registered and who are not on the Waitlist

6. Players on the Waitlist

7. Players who have completed the age verification process and are deemed eligible for play at VLL

It should be noted that being a Registered player does not guarantee player enrollment in the division for which your player is Registered at RBVLL. 

For players who are Registered in a division that requires assessment and a draft (AA through Intermediate), and your player is not a must draft, your player may be moved down to the next lower division for Enrollment based on their league age.

A must draft is defined as the following:

1. The upper age limit for the corresponding division (13 for Intermediate, 12 for Majors, 11 for AAA, and 10 for AA) or

2. A player who is returning to a division they played in the preceding Spring season.

The Board reserves the right to hold a tryout for the Senior Division or for any division that has two (2) or fewer teams. All registered and waitlisted players for that division will be required to attend the tryout. Based on the results of the tryout and at its discretion, the Board will determine final team assignments with a draft completed by the Managers for that division.

If your player is not drafted to one of the teams, a Board representative will contact you to notify you. At that time:

1. The League will offer you an immediate waiver to play in another league within District 70; or

2. If you choose not to accept the waiver, you will be refunded your registration fees.

Players who are activated from the Waitlist will be notified and will be provided 48-hours to complete Registration and:

1. Pay Registration dues in full or

2. Submit documentation of an intent to enroll in a qualifying scholarship program (e.g., City of Vista Scholarship Program) or

3. Contact the Board regarding alternative payment options

If any player above the age of seven (7) is placed on the Waitlist but wishes to register for a different local Little League, families should contact the Board at their earliest convenience to attain a waiver which would release the player for participation at a different local Little League program.  Players aged four through seven (4-7) are eligible to play in any local Little League of their choice and do not need a waiver.  RBVLL is committed to assisting in giving players and families as many opportunities to play Little League as possible.
