New for 2012
These are changes in PALL policies that affect you:
- To accommodate an earlier start to the Majors schedule and avoid
conflicts with the PAUSD calendar, tryouts for Majors and PCL will begin
the weekend of January 7/8. The second weekend of tryouts will be
January 28 (January 29 rain date). Due to the early tryout weekend, ALL
players interested in Majors MUST be registered by and attend AT LEAST
ONE tryout the first weekend (1/7,1/8). Players must attend 2 of the 3
scheduled tryouts to be considered for Majors.
- PCL tryouts will be held concurrently with Majors tryouts. Players
interested in PCL who have not previously played in the league are
required to attend ANY ONE of the 3 tryouts (1/7,1/8,1/28). Players planning to attend a tryout for PCL-only consideration are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to register by and
attend the first weekend of tryouts. PCL registrations will be waitlisted after January 28.
Registration Highlights
All ages listed below are Little League ages. Skill evaluations are tryouts for players who do not default by Little League age to the level being considered.
- Please read the Policies and Guidelines for Registration, Fees and Refunds for information about participation and registration refunds.
- Alternatives to Juniors League. Due to increasing options provided by other baseball leagues, the PALL program for 13 & 14-year-olds, Juniors League, has been considerably impacted. Players are exploring alternatives in Babe Ruth and Menlo-Atherton leagues. This year, a PALL Juniors team will be formed if there is enough interest. If you register for Juniors, your registration fee (if paid) will be refunded if a team is not formed or your player decides to play in another league. (See options for 13-year-olds and older players outside of PALL below.)
Palo Alto Babe Ruth
This league offers a dedicated program for 13 year olds. The tryouts are in late February or early March. Sign up at www.pababeruth.org
Mountain View Babe Ruth
Palo Alto players may play in this league. Sign up at www.mvbr.org
Los Altos and Mountain View Pony League
This league plays on a slightly smaller field than Babe Ruth; great development league. MUST register by early January otherwise will be waitlisted. Based on prior years, the waitlist can be quite long. Sign up at www.lamvpb.org
- Majors Tryouts – Players 9 to 12 years of age who have not previously played in Majors must attend two Majors tryouts to be considered for selection to Majors (12-year-olds are evaluated for mandatory placement). Majors players reentering the draft are also required to attend.
- PCL Tryouts – PCL tryouts will be held concurrently with Majors tryouts. Players interested in PCL who have not previously played in the league are required to attend ANY ONE tryout.
- 12-year-olds default to Majors. If your 12-year-old would like to play in PCL, indicate this preference in Step 2 of the online registration form. 12-year-olds intending to play in Majors are required to attend two Majors skill evaluations (tryouts) before being drafted onto a team.
- Should my 12-year-old who played PCL last year play PCL or Majors this year? read this
- All 9- and 10-year-olds interested in playing Spring PCL for the first time are required to attend a PCL tryout. The PCL Player Agents will be selecting players from this pool based on tryout results. This is not required for players that have played a previous season in PCL. These players default to PCL and ratings have been acquired from last season.
- All 11-year-olds intending to play Spring PCL for the first time are expected to attend a PCL skill evaluation before being placed onto a team. This allows the PCL Player Agents to gather data critical to improving kids experience and balancing teams.
- At the PCL and higher levels, a uniform deposit will be collected. It will be collected via check when your child receives his or her uniform.
The checks will be held for the duration of the season and only cashed in the event the uniform is not returned. It is NOT collected during registration.
- A Palo Alto Utilities account number is required. The City of Palo Alto is beginning to use this information in determining eligibility, field assignments and usage fees.
- Outstanding registration fees from the past year will be indicated. If you have an unpaid registration fee, you may register your child, but s/he will be waitlisted for this season until the prior fee(s) are reconciled. You may request a scholarship for fees.
- If you registered online last year, you should have received login information to access your account. If you
haven't received login information because your e-mail address has changed, let us know and we'll send your login info to a different address.
We have e-mailed account information to the primary and secondary addresses you provided. If you are having problems accessing your account or
have questions, contact onlineregistration@pabaseball.org.
