Hello Marquette Little League Families!
We are excited to kick off our 2025 season & our MLL Board wanted to take the opportunity to inform you about upcoming dates and expectations to our season!
Our 2025 Season Registration is officially OPEN!
https://www.marquettelittleleague.net/Default.aspx?tabid=1385814
In order for any player to participate in our Winter/Spring Training sessions they must be registered with MLL and medical release and concussion forms must be turned in. Forms will be available at registration of trainings for parents to complete.
Marquette Little League is a 100% Volunteer driven organization, and it takes a collective effort to run our league! Upon registering your players this season, we are asking that every family participates in helping with at least (2) Volunteer opportunities throughout the season. (Examples: winter/spring training registration, draft registration, concession stand, field work, tournaments, committees, fundraising events…etc.)
**2025 VOLUNTEER OPT-OUT FEE
Families may choose to opt-out of Volunteering for the 2025 season if they choose. (2 Volunteer shifts per family) $100 per account will be charged at checkout. However, if you choose to Volunteer (2) shifts per family for the 2025 season, to avoid this charge you will need to sign up to Volunteer at the time of Registration, otherwise you will be charged at checkout!
All outdoor practices and game schedules are subject to the weather and the City of Marquette giving us permission to be on the fields!
For our 2025 season to start: the snow must melt, frost must go, infields must thoroughly dry, and the grass must start to green up before the city will allow us to practice on the fields! Please continue to understand & be flexible with season start dates as weather is out of our control!
Our plan will be to continue to utilize Vandenboom Gym & Lakeview Arena for the months of January – April until we can get outside and onto the fields.
**Any player looking to play in a division above their league age, MUST apply, be evaluated by coach/trainers, and approved by the board. Parents will be required to sign a waiver.
For registration you will need to register your player for the correct age division they fall into. IF player is approved to be moved up, we will manually transfer them in the system and parents will receive an online invoice to pay remaining balance based on division.
Evaluations will take place at Winter Training Sessions (Jan 25, Feb 15, Mar 1 and Mar 15). If you cannot make any of these dates please note that in your email to [email protected] and we will do our best to accommodate all schedules.
To register your child to be evaluated, please send an email to the board: [email protected]
We will not be able to honor/accept any family requests for players to be on same team this season.
With such a large organization, we receive too many requests, and it's just not possible!
Siblings will be placed on the same team if they are playing in the same division (unless requested otherwise from parents)
If you would like to be on the same team as another coach or player, please volunteer to coach!
Marquette Little League is a 100% a parent run volunteer program. If you have ever considered coaching, now is your chance!
No experience is needed! We will teach/train coaches & provide support!
Lack of volunteers will severely limit our ability to run a quality program in any of our divisions
Please register for a coach or volunteer at www.marquettelittleleague.net
