Dates are estimates and are subject to change! A Calendar of Events will be published on the homepage of our website prior to the start of each season.

The cut-off date for our age divisions is May 1st. See our Registration Page for league determination date.

Visit the pages below for more information on our Age Divisions & Descriptions.

In certain instances, players are allowed to play up a division other than their true age. This is on a case by case basis, and an email needs to be sent to info@leaysabaseball for a request of moving up.

LEAYSA Baseball does not allow players to "play down" in the next younger age division.  Special needs players are the only exception and must be evaluated on a case by case basis by the LEAYSA Baseball board. Players that are allowed to play down in age will be ineligible for tournament play. Players are assigned to an age division based on their age as of May 1st.

Siblings in the same age division will always be on the same team unless the family specifically requests separate teams.
 
In 3/4U & 5U Tball divisions request to be on the same team with a classmate, friend, neighbor or cousin will be honored if requested on the registration form.
 
All other age divisions are drafted leagues. Requests will not be honored.

We recommend each player to have their own glove, bat, batting helmet, cleats and an equipment bag.  If a child does not have their own batting helmet the league can provide the coach with a batting helmet for team use.

How do I choose the right bat for my son/daughter?

To determine the correct LENGTH of the bat, have your player stand with the bat next to his/her side barrel down and rest the bat on the ground the top of the bat should rest just below the hip

To determine the correct WEIGHT of the bat, have your player - hold the bat straight out from his/her side OR straight out in front (which ever is more comfortable) if the barrel tips down then it is too heavy if he/she can hold the bat straight out for 10 seconds - then you've found the right bat!

How do I choose the right glove for my son/daughter?

This information is provided only as a guide. Results for your player may vary based on their personal preference, ability, and physical maturity.

Size for AGE or POSITION

TBal/Modified Coach Pitch (ages -7) - 8.5" to 10"
Youth (ages 8+) - 10.5" to 12"
Outfield/Softball - 12" to 14"
Pitcher - 12" to 12.5"
Infield - 11" to 12"

Pocket Depth

Shallow pockets offer control, making it easier to release the ball out of the glove
Deeper pockets are best used for outfield or infielders that are still developing proper fielding mechanics
First Base Mitts have a thin, stiff pad around the edge with padding in the palm and fingers and range from 12" to 13".

Coaches will contact their players by email or phone within 2-3 days after the drafts. If you are not contacted by the coach within 3-5 days after drafts you should contact the Division Commissioner (See Baseball Board webpage to contact Coach's Commissioner by email.)

Refund requests must be in writing and received prior to the close of registration. A processing fee will be assessed for each approved refund processed. NO REFUNDS will be issued after teams are formed.

Yes, We accept registration of players living in the towns surrounding Little Elm. If you have questions about your town please contact us at info@leaysabaseball.com.

When you register your child there is also a registration form for Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Team Managers. Registering as a Coach, Assistant Coach or Team Manager does not guarantee you will get a team; that decision is made by the Baseball board prior to Player Evaluations. See our General Playing Rules on the Documents page for the coach selection process. It is recommended to contact the Coach Commissioner of the age group that you are interested in coaching prior to registering. Email your Commissioner from the Baseball Board link on our website.

Our Recreational league do not have tryouts; everyone makes a team. However, we do have Player Evaluations. Player Evaluations allow the coaches the opportunity to rate the hitting, running, fielding and throwing skills of the participants in the program. Player Evaluations help us balance the skill levels of our teams allowing for a fair, competitive season. Player Evaluations are typically held the weekend after the last "In Person" Registration. 

Our TEBA/Travel Rec league does hold team tryouts. The head coaches of those teams will run the tryout and select players to complete their rosters. You can find tryout information on our TEBA/Travel Rec page or on our Facebook page.

Participants that do not attend Player Evaluations will be assigned to a team via a "blind" draft after all participants who attended the Player Evaluations have been selected in the draft. Blind draft players are ineligible to be traded and will be "frozen" to the team that they are assigned.

Teams typically practice 1-2 times per week. Practice schedules depend on number of teams in the age division, field availability and the coach's schedule.

LEAYSA Baseball teams are approved to practice at Cottonwood, Brent Elementary, and Eldorado West fields. These locations are scheduled through the league during the pre-season practice schedule and in-season practice schedule.

Teams typically play 1-2 games per week depending on the age division. Games could be scheduled on any weeknight and/or Saturday. Weeknight games start as early as 6:00 PM. Saturday games start anytime between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. 

Schedules are completed after teams are created. While this is a time consuming process, we try to have them done as soon as possible. We try to get them posted on our league website (2) weeks prior to the opening day.

As soon as we are notified by the city that fields are closed due to rain, inclement weather or unusable/unsafe field conditions we will update our RAIN OUT LINE which will send text and email notification automatically to all members that sign up for the Rainout line service.

Coaches are to email, text or call their team with information concerning rainout/rescheduled games, events and practices.

We try our best to reschedule as many rainout games as possible. Our ability to reschedule games depends on how many games need to be rescheduled, field availability and time remaining in the season.
