Little League^® District and League Volunteers,

As we head into the 2024 season, we are excited to share that T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant is back to help cover registration fees for Little League families in need. T-Mobile and Little League share the belief that every child should have the chance to experience Little League, regardless of their financial or personal situation.

Many families face financial constraints and economic challenges, which has made it difficult for their children to make their way on to a Little League field. However, Little League firmly believes that payment shouldn't be a prerequisite for participation and that it's important to find a way to allow children to play the game. Visit LittleLeague.org/CallUpGrant to learn more about the program, including how to apply, as well as downloadable resources to help promote this program within your community to encourage new families to join including: letter to the community, social media posts, website graphics, customizable flyers, and an email header.

Financially challenged families in communities across the country with proof the child is currently receiving Medicaid benefits, SNAP or WIC may be eligible to receive a T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant, so long as funding is available. Please note, documents will need to include the child's name and eligibility/issued dates (within the last 12 months or have a future expiration date) verifying their low-income status in order to complete the application. Physical cards for Medicaid, SNAP or WIC that do not provide current dates and the child's name will not be accepted.

The program offers a simple-to-use online application to get and keep children on the field. Prior to applying, families should identify their local league by visiting PlayLittleLeague.org, then reach out to their league for more information about registration dates and fees. If families have already paid and registered for the 2024 season, they should work with their league to have their payment reimbursed.

Please update contact information on the Little League Data Center for your league's President, Player Agent, and Treasurer. These league officers will be notified via email using the information provided the first time a grant has been awarded for a player in your league and it is important that this is up to date. Similar to 2023, payment will be provided directly to the family in need (to maintain confidentiality) via electronic debit card with restrictions for use only for registration fees.

We are extremely grateful to T-Mobile for their incredible support of the Little League program and for sharing this passion for offering every kid the chance to experience Little League.
