1. The objective of this Organization is to inspire youth,
to practice ideals of health,
citizenship and character, to bring our youth together
through common interest in
sportsmanship, fair play, and fellowship to impart elements
of safety, and
intelligent supervision keeping the welfare of the youth
first and foremost.
2. It is the intent of Grand Terrace Little League (GTLL) to
accommodate any player who
wants to play baseball or softball, lives within the GTLL
boundaries and meets
registration requirements. No player will be turned away
except for severe disciplinary
reasons or restrictions placed on GTLL by organization with
which GTLL is obliged to
cooperate. The number of participants signed up will
determine the number of teams.
During registration and team formation, players may be
placed on a waiting list until
there is an opening on a roster, or until enough players
register to form another team.
3. GTLL follows the rules as set forth in the Official
Regulation and Playing Rules for the
current year for each chartered division as well as the
Little League Operating Manual
for the current year. GTLL has adopted Supplemental Rules
that augment the Official
Regulations and Playing Rules. These Supplemental Rules are
mandatory during regular
season and post- season tournament play. Managers and
coaches (parents and players)
are responsible for knowing these Supplemental Rules as well
as the Official Regulations
and Playing Rules.
4. GTLL shall enforce the following age and residence rules
during registration in
compliance with Little League, Inc. Baseball Player’s Age:
The age of a baseball player as of Aug 31 of the

Age Requirements document for details on acceptable proof of
age that must be submitted at
registration. Softball Player’s Age: The age of a softball
player as of December 31 of the previous
year is that player’s league age for the current season.
