Preparing for the season:
1. Check out the League Information section.
2. Print out the LA Baseball League Rules, be familiar with them, and keep them with you for all games.
3. Print out the Manager & player responsibilities on fields, know them and make sure your players know them.
4. All players must register (including the manager) with the league and have all necessary waivers sent in. Players will not appear on the website roster or be eligible to play as a rostered player in games until they have registered, sent in any necessary waivers and are on the league's online roster page for each team. Each player must fill out these forms, making sure that each player is aware of the conditions set forth by the league. Only accurate information…..bogus info does the league zero good and will be flagged and those player registrations will be voided.
Forms that must be filled out completely:
2026 Online Player Registration Form / all players must register for their team before participating in any league game or event.

At the game:
- The home team always shall occupy the 3rd base dugout with a few exceptions (check the rules for your division), except in the case of a double-header, other arrangements may be made.
- The home team will provide a game sheet. All participants for the home team and visiting team will print and sign their names in the appropriate spot before the game. Then the home team manager will have the umpires sign the game sheet. The home team will then be responsible for keeping the official game score and after the game getting a copy of the game sheet to Will Diaz as soon as possible.
- The game will not begin until both teams and umpires have signed the game sheet.
- Umpire / manager meeting: bring completed game sheet, 3 new league balls, $130 umpire fees, line-up cards.
