The goal of MCLL is to provide boys and girls the opportunity to play organized baseball and teach them the importance of fair play, good sportsmanship, teamwork, competitiveness, and how to win and lose with dignity and class.
Our league will also provide an atmosphere conducive to wholesome community participation for family, friends, and other members of the community. For these things to come about, an atmosphere of cooperation, patience, goodwill, and sportsmanship must exist. All spectators, managers, and players will be expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is above reproach.
We are excited about seeing you on the fields!
NO Experience is needed!
Everybody plays!
What to expect when playing baseball at Missouri City Little League
Practices: Practice locations and times will be scheduled for teams after the player draft. Your player's coach will contact you to advise of practice times, dates, and locations. Most practices will occur at one of the fields located at Community Park in Missouri City. Your child is expected to attend practices to play in the games. Failure to attend practices can affect your child’s playing time.
Games: Most games will take place on Saturdays beginning around 9 AM. Depending on the number of teams in the league, games on Saturday may end in the afternoon. In addition to weekends, older divisions will have midweek games to encourage teams to develop more pitchers and to increase the number of games in our schedule. Every effort will be made to minimize the number of late games for the younger age divisions and to evenly distribute late games.
Season: Missouri City Little League is focused on creating a fun, competitive, and developmental environment during the regular season. After the season, there will be an end-of-season tournament, District 16 tournaments, and all-star tournaments if applicable.
Divisions: All players will be expected to compete in the division corresponding to their age as determined in the Little League Age Chart. In general, divisions are distributed in the following ways:
- T-Ball - Ages 4-6
- Machine Pitch - Ages 6-8
- Minors - Ages 9-10 (Kid Pitch)
- Majors - Ages 11-12 (Kid Pitch)
- Junior/Senior - Ages 13-16 (Kid Pitch - Full-sized field)
Registration Fees: Registration fees are $225 per player. MCLL will provide players with a jersey, cap, belt, and socks. Families will be responsible for providing pants, cleats, a batting helmet, a bat, and a glove.
