Registration Information
Updated Tuesday November 27, 2018 by Live Oak Little League.Little League Registration
Live Oak Little League offers online and in-person registration for the 2019 Season. Online registration will continue until March 1st, 2019, and will then close. Player registration after March 1st will be considered on a case by case basis, as the season will have already started. Email us for details if you would like to inquire about registering after March 1st, 2019.
We strongly encourage you to register your child before January 13th so he/she can participate in tryouts! Participation in tryouts ensures that your child(ren) get placed appropriately when the draft takes place.
Registration Fees:
Per player in Farm, AA, AAA or Majors Division: $160
Per player in Tee Ball: $110
A $10 discount is applied per player if you register before December 31st, 2018 (for any division). Also, each sibling registered after the first player will receive a $25 discount if they are registering in the Farm, AA, AAA or Majors Division. Any additional siblings registering for Tee Ball do not receive a sibling discount. So if Dan and Rachel are siblings and register for AA and AAA respectively, and Rachel is registered at the same time as Dan, Rachel would receive the $25 discount (but not Dan, since Dan is the first child registered).
When registering online, the registration fees are due at the time of registration, with a Visa or Mastercard (or a debit card with the Visa Logo).
In Person
In person registration will take place at the Boys & Girls Club on Saturday, December 15, 2018, from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. The Clubhouse is located at 925 17th Avenue in Live Oak. If you cannot provide digital copies of your child's Birth Certificate and the three proofs of residency in digital format (or digital copy of the School Enrollment Form) to register online, then we strongly recommend you bring paper copies of these documents to the in-person registration and register there.

This proof of residence for the former residence must be supported by the same documentation as noted above.
Tournament Requirement for Non-Citizens: A participant who is not a citizen of the country in which he/she wishes to play, but meets residency requirements as defined by Little League, may participate in that country if:

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 (j). Requests submitted after that date will not be considered.

HOW TO OBTAIN ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTS PROVING DATE OF BIRTH
Certified copy-of-birth records may be obtained from the Registrar of Vital Statistics of each state, province or local office where the child was born. For U.S.-born persons, addresses of these offices or bureaus, fees required, and other pertinent information are supplied by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (National Center for Health Statistics). A database listing the method for obtaining birth records from any U.S. state or territory is available at the following Internet address: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/howto/w2w/w2welcom.htm Individual states may also have on-line instructions on how to obtain “rush” birth records. To find out a state’s latest policies regarding birth records, go to the Internet site listed below and type “birth records” into the search field, designate the appropriate state, then click on “SUBMIT.” http://www.firstgov.gov/
Persons in the U.S. who need a copy of a non-U.S. birth record should contact the Embassy or the nearest Consulate of the country in which the birth occurred. Addresses and telephone numbers for these offices are listed in the U.S. Department of State Publication 7846, “Foreign Consular Offices in the United States,” which is available in many local libraries. Copies of this publication may also be purchased from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Such proof-of-birth records must meet the criteria for acceptable proof listed above.
HOW TO OBTAIN A “STATEMENT IN LIEU OF ACCEPTABLE PROOF OF BIRTH”
When an “Acceptable Proof of Birth” as described previously is not available, then the appropriate number of items in EACH of these FOUR groups are required so that the participant may obtain a “Statement in Lieu of Acceptable Proof of Birth,” which is required for such a participant to be eligible for regular season or tournament play:
Group 1 – Any one (1) of the following, provided the date of birth is listed: a naturalization document issued by the United States Department of Justice; photocopy of birth certificate; original birth certificate or government record of birth if not containing a filing, recording, registration, or issue date within one (1) year of the date of birth; passport; PLUS…
Group 2 – Any two (2) of the following, provided the date of birth is listed: Baptismal Certificate; Certificate of Blessing; Certificate of Dedication; Certificate of Circumcision; or any other religious-related certificate; Hospital Certificate; School Record (must be dated, and date of issue must be at least two years prior to current season); Social Security document; Welfare Department document; adoption record. Any item in this group must be an original document, not a copy; PLUS…
Group 3 – Any two (2) of the following: A written, signed and notarized statement from… … the doctor who delivered the child; … a hospital administrator where the child was delivered; … the principal or headmaster of the school the child attends; … a Social Worker with personal knowledge of the child’s date of birth; … a Priest, Rabbi, Minister, Mullah, or other titled religious figure with personal knowledge of the child’s date of birth; … the child’s pediatrician or family doctor.
NOTE: In each statement in Group 3, the writer must describe his/her responsibilities or his/ her relationship to the child, and must attest to his/her personal knowledge that the child was born on the date claimed; PLUS…
Group 4 – A written, signed and notarized statement from one or both parents, or the legal guardian (as appointed by a court of jurisdiction), attesting to the date of birth claimed.
The league president will forward the above documentation to the District Administrator (or, if the team is traveling, the Tournament Director). If in the opinion of the District Administrator, such evidence is satisfactory, a “Statement In Lieu of Acceptable Proof of Birth” will be issued. This statement will be considered to be acceptable proof of age from that point forward, throughout the child’s Little League experience, provided all the information submitted is accurate. (Note: If the District Administrator is unable to review the documents, they may be submitted to the appropriate Regional Headquarters.)
NOTE: Situations where players use the name of an adopting family or the name of the family with whom they live, but whose births are recorded under the surname of the natural father or mother, will be handled as follows: The president of the league will obtain from the parents or guardian a document that qualifies under Proof-of-Age Requirements, as well as a copy of the adoption papers (if the player has been legally adopted. If the player was not adopted, a notarized statement from the mother and/or father or legal guardian (as appointed by a court of jurisdiction), saying that the player living under one or the other of their surnames is the same player for whom the birth certificate was issued) is also required.
These documents will be submitted to the District Administrator. If the documents are found to be acceptable, a “Statement in Lieu of Acceptable Proof of Birth” will be issued and all original documents returned. The information submitted will be kept confidential.
