Don’t Be Left Out: Submit Mileage Reports
 |
|
Little League has been paying
for the travel of World Series teams for
decades. Here, in a 1961 photo, a team from
Germany arrives at Williamsport for the Little
League Baseball World Series. |

Last year, Little League either reimbursed its local
leagues, or provided transportation directly to them, in the amount
of about $2 million. If your league has a team that advances beyond
district play, don’t get left out this year!
(Can you name any other youth sports organization that can make this
claim?)
All mileage reports for any teams advancing beyond district play
must be submitted to the appropriate Regional Headquarters by
SEPTEMBER 15, 2006, in order for reimbursement to be considered.
Mileage compensation is $1 (one dollar) per mile. This is a flat fee
that covers one round trip to tournaments above district play.
Little League will provide the league with a credit toward next
year's fees. However, the local league president may request – in
writing – reimbursement by check. This request must accompany the
mileage reimbursement form.
NOTE: A maximum of one round trip will be compensated per tournament
site at each level of play. Levels above district are section (if
played), state, region, and world series.
Tournament Mileage Reports may be downloaded (as PDF files) from the
Little League web site at: http://www.littleleague.org/tournaments/index.asp.
District Administrators may view the status of mileage reports
received by Little League International by visiting the Little
League web site, then by clicking on the District Administrator
page. The direct link is at http://www.littleleague.org/mileage/search2006asp.
