Charter Committee Waiver Requests

Welcome to the Little League® Southeast Region’s Charter Committee Waiver Request Site. This site is built exclusively for use by league and district officials. Parents are not permitted to submit requests, thus cannot use the site. Please review all of the information on this site before beginning your request.

ALL requests require comment from the league’s District Administrator. The league’s DA will be notified on this request and will add his/her position/comment. Your DA may note error(s) in your submission and thus a new request will need to be submitted.

Users will find the site very easy to use and also mobile-friendly, with no downloads needed. Supporting information will need to be uploaded through multiple file types, but the ability to copy and paste the league’s statement within the site is available. After submission, the user receives both a web and email notification with the information submitted.  You do have the ability to save your progress as you go and will be emailed the link to access your incomplete request, once saved.

Please remember this is ONLY a request and there is no guarantee of approval, and the request may take as long as three weeks for processing.

There is no Little League or Region requirement to use the site, but all District Administrators are recommended to review the site and the supporting materials and if comfortable, ask and encourage leagues to use the site. The DA can require leagues to use the site.

Out-of-Boundary Players

Recently, the Southeast Region made an update for the submission of out-of-boundary players waiver request. Please make sure you are aware of the changes outlined below.

New Changes

  1. Home League Statement NO longer needed – the Region will acquire the home league statement.
  2. Each player’s address and school name must be included.
  3. The league must upload a file for its written request. The request can’t be typed in for for out-of-boundary players only.
  4. A question that categorizes the reason for the request for each player must be answered.
  5. A limit of THREE players for each request. Leagues can make more requests if they have more than three players. (Please note we had to drop the max to three players)

About Waivers

Anytime a local Little League wishes to operate outside of the rules, regulations and/or policies (regardless of the type of request) it must request a waiver from the Little League International Charter Committee. Only the Charter Committee may grant a waiver to a local league, which, if approved, will only apply for the current year. The most common waiver type is for out-of-boundary players. There is no exception for a league allowing a player to participate regardless of age) if not residing or physically attending a school within a league’s boundary map.

The Charter Committee’s decision is final and binding. It is important to note that the situation requested in the waiver (such as a request to have a player participate in a league without having residence in the league) must not be allowed to proceed unless and until the Charter Committee renders its decision.

Waiver requests are not uncommon. The Southeastern Region processes more than 500 requests annually. A league may request any rule, regulation or policy variation, but once again no approval is guaranteed. If a waiver is granted, the adjustment is only for the current season.

It Is Only a REQUEST

The biggest thing to remember during this process, is that it is a REQUEST, which does not guarantee approval in any manner, and the league may not proceed with its request until a response is provided.
