Starting on September 1, 2018, the Community Services Agency has resumed providing partial fee waivers for MVLL Baseball through their Financial Assistance Program (FAP), Fee Waver program for the period starting September 1, 2018. The current program runs through August 31, 2019 and provides fee waivers for Mountain View Parks & Recreation programs.

If your child is currently in a school lunch program, you may be eligible to apply for a fee waiver with the City of Mountain View and the Community Services Agency. Complete the baseball registration form with MVLL and request a fee waiver (90% waiver maximum) with the Community Services Agency. After applying and receiving approval for the partial fee waiver, use "Waiver" for payment type on the MVLL Baseball registration form. Please provide a copy of the completed and approved waiver form when paying MVLL for the balance of the fee (typically 10% or 25% of the total fee). The payment to MVLL must be done in person at any of the many in-person registration events held from November to February.

Little League Baseball rules for tournament play are somewhat different from regular season playing rules.  From the their "Green Book" (aka 2013 Baseball Official Regulations and Playing Rules), Little League makes the Tournament Rules and Guidelines section of the book available in PDF.  Also, the Little League Umpires website provides this one page summary of key rule differences between regular season and tournaments in PDF.  Another handy guide is Little League's Tournament FAQ in PDF that answers questions on age requirements, residency affidavits, bith records, and more.  The Little League's Tournament Resource Page is here.

Parks and Rec. Meeting April 10th

On Wednesday April 10th there is a meeting at the Mountain View Senior Center, 266 Escuela Ave., at 7:00 pm about the McKelvey Park conceptual plan. I know that some of you have games and some of you are on vacation but anybody that can show up to help support the fields would be great. I am so grateful for the support we received at the last meeting; it really made a difference in the eyes of the City.

Picture Day / Hit-a-Thon Fundraiser Sunday April 22nd
