MANDATORY ONSITE DOCUMENT VERIFICATION
While registrations are all online, we still need to physically check birth certificates and verify residency documents. Unfortunately, the website does not have the capability to check and confirm uploaded documents, which means a volunteer would need to manually check almost 1,000 documents for all players account one at a time. So to streamline the process, we do quick physical checks at the field during assessments on January 14 and January 21, between 9:00 and 11:00 am. Please bring your player's original or certified birth certificate (copies are not permitted) as well as their completed school eligibility form OR the documents verifying residency (if your player does not attend school in our boundaries) to the MLK Juniors field on one of the Document Verification days.

If your child does not attend school in our boundaries, please see the handy document checklist to make sure you have the documents we will need to verify residency. Also note that documents must be dated or valid between February 1, 2022 and February 1, 2023. We will quickly check the birth certificate, verify documents, collect your snack bar deposit and provide you with your raffle tickets. We expect the verification process to go very quickly, so please be sure you have all of your documents ready before getting in line. If you are unable to attend either day, a friend or family member can bring your documents for you.

Please note that we will not be accepting any in-person registrations/payments during these days as all registrations are done online. Please be sure to register online prior to attending the Document Verification.

Check-list for document verification:

1. Original or certified copy of birth certificate
2. Address verification documents: Signed School Eligibility form (if school is in ONLL boundaries) OR 3 address documents handy document checklist
3. $75 check for snack bar volunteer deposit (one check per player; checks will be returned upon completion of volunteer shift worked in the snack bar)

Saturday, January 14 & Saturday, January 21
Assessments are mandatory for AAA, Majors, Intermediate and Junior Divisions and will be hosted at Martin Luther King Park Juniors Field. Players do not need to attend both assessment days...just pick the Saturday that works best for you! All players will be assigned to a team; assessments are done to help in the creation of teams. Players must bring their own gear (USA stamped bat, glove, cleats, helmet, etc.) to assessments. The times for the different age groups are as follows:

8 & 9 year olds 9:00 am
10 & 11 year olds 10:00 am
12 - 14 year olds 11:30 am

Arrive 15 minutes prior to your start time to check in and get your badge. Please note, players must register online before they can attend assessments. In the event of rain, assessments will be rescheduled to a later date.

MANDATORY FUNDRAISER
As part of your registration fees, you paid into the mandatory fundraiser. At Document Verification, you will receive 4 raffle tickets to either keep, enter into the raffle yourself, or sell for $10 each to friends and family. Any tickets you sell, you keep the money for since you already paid in advance for the tickets. At closing ceremonies in June, 5 lucky names will be drawn to win a family 4-pack of tickets to a shared luxury suite at a Padres game (date TBD)! Raffle tickets can be dropped off anytime the snack bar is open during the season. Want more tickets to sell? Just let us know! All funds raised will stay in the League for the players.

REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN
January 21 at noon is the last day to register to be ensured a spot on a team. After this date, players may be placed on a waiting list depending on team capacity. If you have friends or family that want to play, encourage them to sign up ASAP!

MANAGERS AND COACHES NEEDED
We still need Managers and Assistant Coaches for all divisions. Volunteer applications can be submitted via your account page on Sports Connect. For questions regarding Managing or Assistant Coaching, please contact our Coaching Coordinator, John Farnum, at [email protected].

TEAM ASSIGNMENTS
Teams will be formed the end of January, and players should expect to hear from their manager by the first week of February.  Practice schedules and locations will be announced once teams are formed.

TEXT ALERTS
Please be sure to sign up for text alerts. This will be used throughout the season to notify of field closures due to rain, important reminders, etc. To sign up for text alerts, text 'ONLLtshq30014' (case sensitive) to 334-310-2497.

GAME SCHEDULES
It takes a considerable amount of coordinating to schedule all of the games, and schedules cannot even be started until teams are formed. Game schedules will not be posted until late February/early March, but we will send out an announcement as soon as they are posted.
