NELL is a volunteer organization and has always had a volunteer requirement from the parents as part of your child’s registration.  We need your help to accomplish our goals as a league.  Traditionally the lion’s share of the work has fallen on a very small proportion of the membership.  This has been an ongoing issue for a long time at NELL and we suspect it is an issue with every volunteer based organization.  We have made the registration fee $175 and are asking families to donate time as a volunteer for the league.

The decision to require families to volunteer was made due to the the disbanding of our teen program. There were liability issues with having teens work the concession stand. It is also an issue of equity.  Allowing  families to buyout  without a teen program puts the burden on those families that choose not to  or can’t do the buy out. Each family will be asked to work the concession stand and volunteer for one of our many committees. We are asking that you give 8 hours of your time to the betterment of NELL.

AGE

Your child needs to be the appropriate age (League age 5 for baseball based on their age on 4/30 of the following year or 7 for girls softball based on their age on 12/31 of the current year), you will have to register using the on line registration system, and you will need to provide NELL with a copy of their birth certificate, a copy of their City of St. Petersburg ID card, and three proof of residency: driver’s license, utility bill and voter id. These three proofs of residency are needed for post play such as ALL- Stars.  Click here for the Little League age calculator.

What is the city ID?

The city of St. Petersburg requires that all players obtain and maintain a current city ID. IDs can be obtained for a nominal fee at any Parks and Rec office. The fee is paid to the city of St. Petersburg for upkeep of their facilities and has nothing to do with NELL. Any city rec center like Shore Acres complex has the ability to provide you with a City ID.

What equipment is needed/Required?

NELL will provide the teams with bats, balls, batting helmets, and catchers equipment. You will also be provided with a team hat and a team jersey. Pants, socks, cleats, and gloves will be the responsibility of the parent to provide for their child. As the children get into the older leagues it is not uncommon for players to have their own batting helmets and bats but the league will provide basic equipment for use when needed.  (Friendly tip from one of our concerned moms – Hair spray sprayed in the helmet helps deter the spread of lice.)
