SMNLL Spring 2024 Registration Now OPEN!

Click on the registration links below to get started! The volunteer registration link are for those who are planning to support the league through coaching, being on the Board, score keeping, being a team parent, etc.

If you are interested in becoming an umpire for SMNLL, please complete our Umpire Registration Form. Note that umpiring is a paid role and we are always looking for youth umpires. It's a great way to make some money and the league trains our umpires at least annually. It's a great way to connect with the game in a different way! 

SMNLL Spring 2024 General Information

REGISTRATION FEES

We are proud of the fact that SMNLL charges the one of the lowest registration fees in the District and our aim is to have playing youth baseball in San Mateo be as affordable for families as possible through fiscal responsibility and by the assistance of our generous sponsors each year and donations from our community. SMNLL also picks up the online payment processing service fees that are charged and does not pass those on to you which other leagues commonly do. 

Our fee structure is outlined below:

Early Bird Special: $275 (deadline: 11/30/23)

Regular Fee: $325 (12/1 onwards)

Wiffle Ball Only: $75

Multiple Player Registration Discount: For families registering multiple siblings, you will receive a 10% discount on your combined fee. In order for the registration system to recognize that your family is registering multiple players, please register all of your players at one time.  On the Review Page, there is a link near the bottom to "Register Another Player" - please click on this link to ensure that all of your family's players are registered within the same order. Failure to do so will result in a forfeiture of your family's discounted rates.

Financial Aid: If there are members of the community who are facing financial difficulties, please reach out to us at smn@smnlittleleague.com. We believe financial hardships should not be a barrier to kids playing baseball in our community and will do our best to support our community members in need. 

CLOSING OF REGISTRATION

Registration for AA, AAA/PCL and Majors will close on 1/4/24. Timely registration for these divisions is important as they are draft divisions and tryouts are planned for the first weekend of January

Registration for our younger divisions (Wiffle through Single A), will stay open until the end of January, and registration for Juniors will stay open until we fill the team(s).

SMNLL ELIGIBILITY: 

Are you unsure if you are eligible to play in SMNLL? Please check out our League Eligibility page

There is no Residency/School requirement for Wiffle Ball.

VOLUNTEERING:

Our league is run solely through the time and efforts of our volunteers.  Without moms and dads and other family members participating on a variety of levels, the league wouldn't be able to function and our kids wouldn't have the opportunity to play this great sport.  Volunteer registration will open at the same time as player registration.  Volunteer opportunities include coaching, team parent, assisting with the planning and execution of league events (e.g., opening / closing ceremonies, picture day, etc.), and more!   If you plan to volunteer this spring, please register as a Volunteer by clicking on the Volunteer Registration banner above.

You can choose to opt out of volunteering for an opt out fee of $50. 

 CONSENTS:

When you register you will also be asked to acknowledge and agree to the SMNLL Code of Conduct, COVID-19 waivers, and HeadsUp Concussion acknowledgement.
