Before you get started, GPPLL would like to highlight a few areas in this year's registration. Please read these important notes before continuing:
1)
NEW in 2025 - Proof of Residency is required for registration. The easiest way to provide Proof of Residency is if your player attends a school within the City of Grosse Pointe Park (Defer, Pierce, St. Clare).
Here is the simple form to have completed by your school's administrator and uploaded during registration. Our league ID is 1220604. If you child goes to a school outside of the City of Grosse Pointe Park then you will need to satisfy the requirements laid out in
this form and upload the applicable documents during registration.
2) Registration fees are slightly increased for 2024. This is the first increase in registration fees in 7-years. The league has taken considerable steps to keep league fees from rising including deferred maintenance on our fields and using league funds to cover the increased cost of uniforms. With the significant improvements of the Defer fields which was performed in the Fall of 2023 and the projected further increase of uniform costs in 2024, the league needed to take the steps to increase Registration fees for the first time in 7-years to keep the league financially healthy. Little League International and Grosse Pointe Park Little League offer financial assistance. Please click on this
link or email Marty McMillan @
[email protected] if you would like to discuss options.
3) 2024 registration continues the 2021 adoption of a $25 fee in lieu of a $50 refundable deposit. Prior to 2021, registration included a refundable concession deposit ($50) to encourage parent volunteers. The 2024 fee enables GPPLL to safely staff the concession stand throughout the summer with a small paid staff. During the 2024 season we will attempt to go back to a 100% volunteer concession staff to help eliminate this operational fee for future years. GPPLL will again re-evaluate this approach at the end of the 2024 season to determine the approach in future years.
4) To help keep the league financially healthy and to potentially help reduce future registration fees, GPPLL has established a variety of
Sponsorship Opportunities. For any additional questions on sponsorships please contact
Joe Choma ([email protected]).
5) The 2024 season will see our season schedule finish up the World Series play to coincide with the end of the Public School year. This allows families to take their summer vacations as soon as school is out. We will run 'Second Season' for our 7-12 year-old players who are looking to continue developing their skills through a fun-filled second season of games in July and August. Second Season Registration will occur in a separate Registration later this Spring.
6) There are employment opportunities for high school-aged teenagers. Please reach out to the individuals below regarding paid employment opportunities for field crew, umpires and concessions:
