Scotts Valley Little League

Residency Requirements

There are three options for where Little Leaguers can play.

1.) Kids whose primary residence is within a league's boundary can play for that league.

2.) Kids from divided homes may choose to play in a league in whose boundaries either parent resides.

3.) Kids can play for the league where their school is located.

For more information on residency requirements please see the Little League International website.

If you live outside of the Scotts Valley Little League boundaries and your child does not attend a school within boundaries, then you can submit a request for your child to be released from their local league and play in Scotts Valley Little League. The general process is:

1. Draft a request for transfer with player's information. (Sample request provided below.)
2. Send request to the president of SVLL at [email protected] and to the president of the local league from which you are requesting transfer.
3. Presidents will review/approve and work with regional and international Little League to process the request.
4. President of SVLL will send you the official letter from Little League International if/when the transfer is approved. Please keep a copy of the approval letter in your records for future reference.
5. Register for SVLL and when asked for proof of residency, upload a copy of your official waiver letter in lieu of the 3 proofs of residency required. If you register before you have received the official letter, please submit a copy of your transfer request.
6. Please note that your player will not be eligible for the All Star draft the first year of the transfer only but eligible for all subsequent years.
