Does my child need to attend a try-out?

We hold assessments for every player that is league age 8 and up each spring season. It is MANDATORY that each player league age 8 and up assess. Assessments are typically held in January.

I signed up to Coach/Manage, now what?

Signing up as a Manager, does not guarantee you will Manage. All Managers are screened and approved by the Board of Directors prior to being appointed. Signing up as a Coach, does not guarantee you will Coach. Coaching staff is chosen by the Manager of the team and approved by the Board of Directors. If you are chosen to Coach, you will be required to submit a Volunteer form for a background check.

Is a uniform provided?

RCLL provides a uniform shirt and hat. Player is responsible for proving pants, belt, socks, cup and cleats. Pants, socks and belt color will be determined by the team manager and communicated in February.

Can I chose what team my child plays on?

Rancho Cordova Little League tries to accommodate all requests for our T-Ball and Farm Divisions. American Division and up are draft level divisions and we are not able to make accommodations at these levels. Only exceptions are siblings in the same division can be requested to play on the same team in any level (does not apply to any other family; i.e. cousins). 

When will I know what team my child is playing on?

For our American Division and up, Managers will contact the players immediately following the draft. Drafts are typically held beginning of February.

T-Ball and Farm Managers will be able to contact their teams once we have obtained all Mangers for each Division and all teams have been formed. This typically happens toward the end of February.

What day are practices held?

Practices vary depending on the division. The team manager will go over this in February. The older the player, the likelihood of more practice.  T-ball - American is usually 1-2 days per week before the season starts.  National-Juniors may practice 3-5 days per week before the season starts. It's up to the league manager- we cannot give you a specific answer.

What equipment do I need to provide?

Each player will need their own glove, bat and helmet. Boys are required to wear an athletic cup starting in Farm Division.

What is a VDR fee?

The VDR (Volunteer Deposit Refund) fee is $100 per family. The VDR fee will be refunded at the end of season after 8 hours of qualifying volunteer time is confirmed by the Board. Ways you can work off your hours are:  Field Maintenance, snack bar duty, volunteering at our fundraisers. We will also be refunded the VDR back for Scorekeepers who score keep ALL HOME games, this is limited to 1 scorekeeper per team in the American League, 2 scorekeepers per team in National through Major. Scorekeepers must also go through our training course and be listed on file with us as the scorekeeper for said team. If you are interested in umpiring in our American and National leagues and you umpire a minimum of 5 games, you will also receive your VDR back. Keep an eye on our Facebook page as well as our website for volunteer opportunities. You will need to have a completed Volunteer Deposit Refund form completed with all hours. Once completed, please email the form to VDRRefunds@rcll.org. The form is located on our website under downloads. 

What age is my child eligible for All-Stars?

Players who are league age 8 and up are eligible for All Stars if they play in the National, Major or Junior divisions. Players MUST also reside in our boundaries or attend a school within our boundaries. Teams are made up of players selected by peer and coach votes. We vote for teams in May to be announced in June.

Will my child receive a trophy at the end of the season?

The only trophies provided by the league are for the first and second place teams from American-Juniors. All other trophies are at the Managers discretion.

What is your refund policy?

We do not provide refunds once drafts are complete in the levels that hold drafts. In levels where there are not drafts, if your player drops prior to the start of the season you may be refunded a portion of your fees. If your player drops after the season starts, no refund will be provided.
