Reviewing a Combined Teams Request Using the Little League® Data Center

When providing guidance to local leagues in need of additional participation options, Combined Teams is an easy and effective way to afford children the opportunity to play Little League®.

Through the Little League Data Center, a District Administrator can review and authorize team combinations for the regular season. Approval of a team combination for the regular season does not afford approval for those leagues to combine for the Little League International Tournament. Leagues may submit a request to combine for Tournament participation through the Data Center (available April 2019).

Provided below are instructions and visual descriptions taken from the Little League Data Center that will walk you through the Combined Teams process.
