Waivers: What Parents Need to KnowPlayers can transfer between leagues through a formal request process,
The process involves:
A parent writing a letter explaining the reasons for the transfer
The boards and presidents of both leagues approving the transfer in writing
Sending all letters to the Little League Area Director for approval
If approved by the Area Director, the request is sent to the Little League Western Region
Once the Western Region verifies the documents, the request is sent to the LL International Charter Committee
Little League is selective about which transfer requests it approves, and requests should be based on hardships.
Some reasons that will not be approved include: Wanting to play with friends and Wanting a more competitive league.
Each waiver situation is unique, and Little League International uses this process as a way to work with the league to find a solution to provide every child the opportunity to have a meaningful Little League experience.
The most common waiver request is an out-of-boundary request. Local leagues request to allow a player that does not meet the residency requirement to play within the league.
