1) Does my son/daughter need to live in the area to play in your league?
Per Little League Regulation II, beginning in Spring 2025, players League Age 4-7 may register in any Little League program (e.g., “League Choice”) without regard to any geography or school-related eligibility requirements.

All players League Age 8-16 must live OR go to school within our league boundaries and meet Residence and School Attendance Eligibility Requirements OR be the sibling of a player who is an activate participant league age seven (7) or younger (e.g., “League Choice” player) OR player who has participated in the league without a break in participation since League Age seven (7).

Here are the OCLL league boundaries or you can utilize the Little League League Finder to determine if your residence or school is within our boundaries. A document review will occur prior to each season to verify players satisfy Little League Residency Requirements.

2) At what age can my child start playing T-Ball?
Your player can start at age 4.

3) When does the season start?
Games for our Spring season usually starts in early March and our Fall season usually starts in September. Practices begin a few weeks prior to the start of games.

4) When are practices?
Practice dates and times vary based on Manager/Coach preference. They will typically be held 1-2 days per week.

5) When are games?
Typically, 2 days a week, 1 weeknight and 1 Saturday game for our minor divisions, and weeknights for major division. Tee Ball games are typically Saturday (though we occasionally schedule a couple of games "under the lights" during a weeknight).

6) What types of proof of residency documents do I need to show?
As required by Little League, you can find our Player Residency Documentation Requirements here.

7) Do I need to show my child's birth certificate every season?
Yes. Little League requires OCLL to verify the age of the player before each season.

8) How do I know my child's league age?
The Little League age calculator can be found here or you can reference the current Little League Age Chart under the registration section of our Forms & Documents page.

9) Why do I need to sell raffle tickets?
The raffle tickets are part of our fundraising efforts to help maintain the fields, and equipment, while also keeping registration costs to a minimum.

10) Does the league provide helmets, bats, and uniforms to the players?
The league provides a uniform jersey and hat to each registered player. Managers are provided with helmets and catching equipment for their team. Bats are not provided.

11) Why do we need to work the snack bar?
The snack bar is another part of the leagues fundraising efforts.

12) Where is your office located and what are its hours?
OCLL is a volunteer organization without an office location. The fields (primarily 2, 3, and 4) are located at Orange Terrace Community Park, 20010 Orange Terrace Pkwy, Riverside, CA 92508.

13) Where can I find the game schedule?
We utilize GameChanger to share the game schedule with teams. Around the time practices begin, your player will be added to GameChanger for that team.

14) What is your Refund Policy?
Refunds, if provided, must be handled by Orangecrest LL directly (they are not handled through Sports Connect).

Orangecrest Little League recognizes that unforeseen circumstances may occur that require a player to withdraw registration from the season. Once a registration has been completed and paid, refunds are at the discretion of the Board of Directors in accordance with the following policy:

Refunds must be requested in writing to the Registration Coordinator, [email protected]. The request should include the name of the player, division, team (if assigned), and detail the reason for requesting the refund.

If refund is requested BEFORE rosters are finalized or uniforms ordered, refund amount is 100% of registration fee paid.

If refund is requested AFTER rosters have been finalized or uniforms ordered, refund amount is up to 50% of registration fee paid.

Refund requests received after one-third of the scheduled games have been played in the assigned division will not be eligible for any return of registration fees paid.

Refund requests received will be reviewed and approved by the Board at first regularly scheduled Board meeting following receipt of the request. Once approved, a refund check will be returned to the home address identified in your registration account via USPS. It may take up to 4 weeks for the check to be received. Registrations paid by credit/debit card will be refunded to the card used at the time of payment.

Registration fees include the following costs but not limited to: the number of participants, uniforms, field maintenance, lights, equipment, and umpires. This refund policy acknowledges that many of these costs are determined by the number of registrations and must be paid in advance by Orangecrest Little League. A refund request received after Orangecrest Little League has committed to any of these expenses may result in the lower refund amount being approved.
