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

The Combined Teams option benefits players and local Leagues by providing the opportunity for children to play Little League® when one league does not have enough registered participants to offer a particular division of play. Combined teams are commonly used to provide opportunities to participate in the Softball and Teenage Divisions of play.

The Little League Data Center provides the ability for a local league to charter a combined team or teams by simply logging in and following a few simple steps. Please note that approval of a Combined Teams request for the regular season does not afford approval for leagues involved to combine for the International Tournament. Beginning with the 2019 season, all combined teams requests will be reviewed by the regional office and guidance will be provided with respect to whether or not the requested combination will be approved for tournament.

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