Waiver Rules

A waiver request, while it may be supported by documents from the parent(s), may be submitted only through the proper chain of command. Waivers, if granted, are for the current season only.  Every child must play at the Local League in which Boundary they live, unless they have an approved waiver from Little League Baseball Inc in Williamsport PA.  The District Administrator, District Staff, Local League President or Board of Directors Members, Coaches, Managers can not  grant waivers of any kind.  If you have been told they can, you have been misled.  Only Williamsport can grant such a waiver.
