East Fullerton Little League Baseball

Q: How long is the Little League season?
A: Typically, the Little League season runs from the beginning of March through late May (one-week break for Easter) Upper divisions continue with post-season tournaments and all-star games into late June and early July. (Please, refer to the calendar on the website for more information.)

Q: What is included with the League fees?
A: The registration fees pay for the players' uniform, yearbook, pictures, umpires and year-end trophy.

Q: How many games / practices can we expect?
A: A 20-game regular season with at LEAST one practice per week. Sometimes two games per week, sometimes one.

Q: What kind of equipment do I need?
A: At the very least, a good glove. Rubber-molded spikes / cleats would also be a sound investment. Before spending a lot of money on a bat, please refer to the front page of the website and visit the Little League link of approved equipment.

Q: Where are the games and practices?

Game and Practice Fields

1) Be sure your player is at practice and games ON TIME. Baseball is a team sport and the team depends on everybody to be working together within the scheduled times.

2) If you're dropping your player off for a practice or a game, please be sure to pick up your player ON TIME (coaches are not babysitters).

3) Let the coaches do the coaching. If you want to coach, volunteer.

4) Be supportive at games. If you have nothing positive to say about the team, players, coaches, or umpires, keep it to yourself.

5) Offer to help out. Help set up the fields, help with the equipment, help keeping score, help cleaning up the field. The coaches put in more time at one game than most parents during the whole season.

6) Fields: All of the work done on the fields are done by volunteers, and they need help. There is no "Field Fairy" that magically does the fields. This includes dragging the infields, mowing the grass and upkeep of the dugouts and fences. The City does not maintain the fields, we do. Feel free to contact Steve Macchia to lend your services to him and Chapman Park.

7) Again this year, all local Little Leagues are required to conduct background checks on Managers, Coaches, Board of Directors members and any other persons, volunteers or hired workers, who provide regular service to the league and/or have repetitive access to, or contact with, players or teams.
