$125
The T-Mobile Little League® Call Up Grant will cover a family’s registration fees up to $125, however, some local Little League program’s fees are higher than that allotted amount to help cover the league’s operating expenses. While registration fees and equipment needs for youth activities are a reality, at no time should payment of any fee be a prerequisite for participation in the Little League program. It is important for local leagues to find a way to ensure that every child has the opportunity to be a part of the program, no matter their family’s financial situation. We encourage families in this scenario to work with their local Little League Board of Directors to identify other solutions to help offset those registration costs and ensure those children have the opportunity to enjoy the Little League experience. Additional tips for local leagues on how to handle this situation can be found on LittleLeagueUniversity.org.
