Submit Out-of-Boundary Player Request

Fall Out-of-Boundary Requests

Any player, regardless of age, who does not meet the residency and/or school attendance requirements and can’t be covered under a regulation II (d) claim, regulation IV (h) claim, combined teams request or boundary map expansion, must have an APPROVED waiver request from Little League’s Charter Committee to participate at anytime (regular season, tournament, fall season).

A league should only make a request after it has confirmed a player can’t be covered under a regulation II (d) claim, regulation IV (h) claim, combined teams request or boundary map expansion.

This request requires the following:

  • Player name
  • Player birthdate
  • Home league
  • Player’s home address and school name
  • Division of Play
  • Written request from parent/guardian (file)
  • Past participation with league (if applicable)

Note that home leagues will review each player following submission.

Input your league ID to auto-fill league name and district. Please note your league ID does not start with a 0 (zero) nor contain dashes.


Waiver Options

Non-out-of-boundary player requests have required information based on past cases and needs from the Charter Committee. The needs are listed under each waiver request type below. If your type is not listed, please do not use this site at this time. Please note types and information needed will update as needed at anytime.

It should be noted a league can make any request and there aren’t “waiver types” that are being submitted. Leagues are making requests for specific rules or regulations.

Submit Non-Out-of-Boundary Request

ALL requests require comment from the league’s District Administrator. The league’s DA will be notified on this request and will add his/her position/comment. Error(s) may be found in your submission and thus a new request will need to be submitted. After submission, the user receives both a web and email notification with the information submitted.  You have the ability to save your progress as you go and will be emailed the link to access your incomplete request, once saved.

Please remember this is ONLY a request and there is no guarantee of approval, and the request may take as long as three weeks for processing. Appeals of Charter Cases shall not be submitted online. Please email to your DA.

About Waivers

Anytime a local Little League wishes to operate outside of the rules, regulations and/or policies (regardless of the type of request) it must request a waiver from the Little League International Charter Committee. Only the Charter Committee may grant a waiver to a local league, which, if approved, will only apply for the current year. The most common waiver type is for out-of-boundary players. There is no exception in 2024 for a league allowing a player to participate regardless of age) if not residing or physically attending a school within a league’s boundary map.

The Charter Committee’s decision is final and binding. It is important to note that the situation requested in the waiver (such as a request to have a player participate in a league without having residence in the league) must not be allowed to proceed unless and until the Charter Committee renders its decision.

Waiver requests are not uncommon. The Southeast Region processes more than 500 requests annually. A league may request any rule, regulation, and/or policy variation, but once again no approval is guaranteed. If a waiver is granted, the adjustment is only for the current season.

It Is Only a REQUEST

The biggest thing to remember during this process, is that it is a REQUEST, which does not guarantee approval in any manner, and the league may not proceed with its request until a response is provided.
