Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions to help guide you as we approach
the upcoming season!
Q. Do you have to be a Trumbull resident to join Trumbull Little League?
A. Players must be residents of Town of Trumbull or attend school within the town.
Q. What ages do the kids need to be for each division? Is my child eligible?
A. Here are links to the age charts to determine whether your child is eligible and if so, for which division/age group. We begin accepting players (boys and girls) for tee-ball when they are League Age 5.

Softball Age Chart: Click HERE
Note: the Fall season uses the subsequent year's age chart to determine a player's league age to help prepare them for the Spring season.
Q: When does the season start and end?
A. Spring: The season will begin sometime in April. Weather permitting, we will look to get on the fields as early as possible. We do not have games during the April vacation. The Spring season will run through the second week of June.
Fall: The season will begin in September through end of October, weather permitting.
Q: When do events (Games, Practices) take place?
A. Our spring schedule will not be complete until late March so we can’t say definitively when each division will play. However, each age group will have 1-2 games during the weekdays (5:45p.m.) and one on Saturday (10am, 12am, or 2pm). Additionally, coaches typically organize one practice each week. Our Fall schedule is posted in early September. Games and clinics are held on the weekends.
Q. How long are Baseball and Softball games?
A. League Games can run from 90 to 120 min
Q. How can I volunteer to Manager or Coach?
A. When you register your son/daughter, the system will walk you through the process to become a volunteer.
Q. When will we find out what team my son/daughter is assigned?
A. Spring: We will be forming teams throughout March. Families can expect to hear no later than end of March. Fall: Registration closes early September and teams are formed by mid September.
Q. What gear does my son/daughter need?
A. Each player needs a glove, LL approved batting helmet, approved bat (see bat regulations below) and cleats. For boys, they should have a protective cup. For girls, the batting helmet needs to have a face mask at all age levels, and beginning in coach pitch divisions, a protective face mask is required to wear in the field.
TLL will provide jersey, socks and pants in the spring, and jerseys only in the Fall.
Q. Is there a multiplayer discount?
A. TLL offers a $25.00 discount for the 2nd player (and thereafter) you register for TLL.
Q. How are teams formed?
A. Division Commissioners form teams at the Tee-Ball through 8-Year old levels based on a combination of factors, such as previous seasons evaluations, personal requests and alignment by school, and for all divisions in the Fall. Minors and Majors Baseball and 9+ Over Softball Teams are assigned via player draft after a league wide evaluation day for the Spring season.
Q. Are USSSA bats legal and approved for play in Little League?
A. All bats must have the USA stamp on the barrel. Any bat that has only the USSSA stamp is not permitted. Please see this link for more information.
