A player will be deemed to reside within the boundaries if:

A: His/her parents are living together and are residing within such legal boundaries, or:
B: Either of the player's parents (or his/her court-appointed legal guardian) reside within such boundaries.

It is unacceptable if a parent moves into a league's boundaries for the purpose of qualifying for tournament play.

Residence, reside and residing refers to a place of bona fide continuous habitation. A place of residence once established shall not be considered changed unless the parents, parent or guardian makes a bona fide change of residence. Residence shall be established and supported by providing 1 document from each of the following three groups listed below:

Group 1

• Driver's license (photo ID of parent(s) or guardian(s) with qualifying address)
• School records (home address of player's parents or guardians)
• Vehicle records (i.e., registration, lease, etc.)
• Employment records
• Insurance documents (with residence address)

Group 2

• Welfare/child care records
• Federal records (i.e., federal tax, social security, etc.)
• State records (i.e., state tax, local, etc.)
• Local (municipal) records (i.e., water/sewer, sanitation, etc.)
• Support payment records
• Homeowner or tenant records (i.e., mortgage, rent, etc.)
• Military records

Group 3

• Voter's registration
• Utility bills (i.e., gas, electric, water/sewer, phone, mobile phone, heating, waste disposal)
• Financial records (loan, credit, investments, etc.)
• Medical records
• Internet, cable, or satellite television records

Players and their parents/guardians are advised that a false statement of residence may lead to ineligibility to play Little League Baseball or Softball. Under NO circumstances does ANY person have the authority to grant a waiver that allows a child to play in a local Little League program IN ANY DIVISION, when that child does not qualify under these residency requirements.

If the claim for residency is challenged, three of the above materials must be submitted to Little League Baseball, Incorporated, with an affidavit of residency from the parent or guardian, which shall decide the issue, and that decision will be final and binding. Residency documents must illustrate that the residence was inside the league's boundaries for at least one half of the regular season, as of June 15 of the year in question.

Tournament Requirement for Non-Citizen

A participant who is not a citizen of the country in which he/she wishes to play, but meets residency requirements, may participate in that country if:

• His/her visa allows that participant to remain in country for a period of at least one year, or:
• The prevailing laws allow that participant to remain in that country for at least one year, or;
• The participant has an established bona fide residence in that country for at least two years prior to the start of their regular season.

Exceptions can only be made by action of the Charter Committee in Williamsport. Any request for a waiver pertaining to the eligibility of a player must be submitted in writing, by the president of the local Little League through the district administrator, to their respective Regional Director not later than the date prescribed in Regulation IV. Requests submitted after that date will not be considered.
