DLL has a policy to consider reducing or waiving the registration fee for participants who would be unable to play otherwise. Contact the DLL Board Members prior to registration to request a Financial Scholarship.

Registration and Payment:

Dulles Little League accepts only online registration and payment. You may register during open registration by visiting our website and clicking on the registration link. Our registration system accepts VISA, Mastercard and American Express credit cards.  If you are unable to use a credit card for payment, please contact the Registration Coordinator.  Once registered, you will receive an automated registration confirmation email. If you don't receive your email confirmation, check your spam and/or junk email folders.

Refund Policy:  In an effort to help stabilize team rosters, control disruptions (caused by ineligible player registrations, player drops and withdrawals), and to account for payment processing fees, DLL has adopted the following refund policy. This refund policy applies to each player regardless of the reason for the player drop or withdrawal, and includes players who register with DLL but are later found to be ineligible due to League Age and/or because they reside outside of our boundaries.
 
Fall season:
• Drop, withdraw, or be found ineligible to play in DLL on or before the close of the regular, on-time registration date: Refund is amount paid minus $25.
• Drop, withdraw, or be found ineligible to play in DLL on or after the close of Fall registration date: No refund.

Spring season:
• Drop, withdraw, or be found ineligible to play in DLL before the first day of Player Evaluations: Refund is amount paid minus $50.
• Drop, withdraw, or be found ineligible to play in DLL on or after the first day of Player Evaluations but before the first draft date: Refund is amount paid minus $75.
• Drop, withdraw, or be found ineligible to play in DLL on or after the first draft date: No refund.


Player Assignments

During a DLL Fall season, all players are assigned to divisions and teams by DLL Player Agents. Team assignment notifications are made via email in late August.

During a DLL Spring season, teams in the Single A, AA, AAA, Majors, Juniors and Seniors divisions are formed via a draft (managers select from available players). Players in T-ball, Instructional Rookie & Rookie divisions are assigned to teams by DLL Player Agents after all the drafts are completed. Team assignment notifications are made via email in mid-March.

Teammate/Manager Requests:

DLL does allow participants in the lower divisions (T-Ball, Instructional Rookie & Rookie) to request one or two teammates for carpooling purposes during registration. While those requests will be reviewed and considered, we cannot guarantee that requests will be granted.

In the spring, teams in the upper divisions (Single A, AA, AAA, Majors, Juniors, Seniors) are formed by drafts, so requests for teammates in those divisions will not be considered during a spring season. Teammate requests for players in the upper divisions for a fall season will be considered but are not guaranteed, especially if a request will unfairly effect the competitive balance of the teams in the opinion of DLL Player Agents.

Since managers are not selected until just before the season starts, DLL does not allow participants to request a specific manager.
 
Waitlist Policy:

Once the regular, on-time registration period ends, DLL's online waitlist will open and remain open indefinitely at the discretion of the DLL Board of Directors. Players added to the waitlist are not guaranteed placement on a team.  Before accepting your player from the waitlist, we will contact you to ensure your player is still interested and available to play. If you agree to have your player accepted from the waitlist, any late registration fees will apply.

DLL Player Agents will determine which players, if any, we are able to accept from our waitlist. Players are not necessarily accepted from the waitlist on a "first come, first served" basis. A player will only be placed in a division appropriate for his skill level, which the Player Agents determine according to age, playing experience, previous divisions played, past coach evaluations, and tryout results. When choosing between waitlist candidates with similar qualifications, number of seasons played with DLL is also considered. In short, we strive to give players the opportunity of a positive playing experience, while minding the interests of the affected team(s) and the league overall.

DLL always tries to accommodate as many players as possible, constrained by field allocations and the number of teams/managers we have in each division. Waitlisted players will be contacted for payment if/when we determine that we'll be able to assign that waitlisted player to a team. It is impossible for us to predict if/when we'll be able to accommodate a waitlisted player, since roster spots will only become available due to a player drop, or if we determine that we'll be able to add an additional team.
