Please refer to the league calendar for specific registration dates.
Please refer to the specific registration page for the season in which you want to participate, which will have a complete listing of fees. Registration fees are assessed by league age, not by division.
Registration costs are subject to change each season to cover rising costs for field rentals, equipment, insurance, umpires, uniforms, and continued investment in our facilities. 100% of the net proceeds are directly invested in the operation and enhancement of our programs.
Please refer to our league age chart to determine if your player is eligible.
Registration is held through our online registration portal. To register, click on the registration link available on our homepage and Facebook page during open registration.
We are aware that circumstances may arise that result in a player needing to withdraw their registration for a particular season. Our cancellation policy is as follows:
Please refer to the Northwood Boundaries Map. If you live within our boundaries or your child attends one of the schools on our school list, you should register with us.
NWLL Schools:
If you are in Irvine but do not fall within our boundaries, refer to Irvine Ranch Little League at www.irvineranchll.org.
Please refer to our divisions page for more information on our different divisions and the appropriate ages for each level of play.
Our divisions allow for a range of ages to play at each level. In general, the maximum league age for a particular division is shown in the "Overlapping Ages" column on the divisions page. Players whose league age is greater than that value must play in the next division up. This ensures the safety of all players in the league.
T-Ball, Rookie, and A players: You can expect a call or email from the manager of your child’s team in early to mid-February for the Spring Season, and September for Fall Ball. Most teams will have a parent’s meeting and a few practices before Opening Day.
AA through Junior players: All players league age 9 and above, and league age 8 players wanting to play in AA are required to attend the player evaluation day for regular season (Fall Ball will not have evaluations) and will receive information regarding evaluations via email with complete instructions. Following the completion of evaluations in early January, the teams will be balanced and players will receive their team assignment by the third week of January. Practices will start the end of January followed by Opening Day on the first week of March.
For lower divisions (Tee Ball/Rookie/A Ball) we make every attempt to honor buddy requests that have been submitted online before the close of regular registration. We can not guarantee buddy requests for late registrations since teams will already have been formed. If no buddy requests are made, we will attempt to group your player with players in the same school or general neighborhood.
For upper divisions in the Spring Season, all players must go through evaluations and are drafted to their teams. Buddy requests are not allowed in our competitive divisions in the spring. Buddy requests are allowed for all divisions during Fall Ball since it is a developmental season and no score is kept.
All players league age 9 and above (AA through Junior divisions) must attend evaluations. If a player does not attend evaluations, he/she will only be able to play in the division he/she played during the previous Spring Season.
Any league age 8 players that would like to be considered to play in AA should contact the league player agent prior to the upper division evaluations.
The purpose of the player evaluations is twofold:
Player evaluations are mandatory for any player league age 9 or older, and for any player league age 7 or older who wishes to be considered for a competitive division (AA division and above). Managers will adapt their evaluations based on observed player skill and will group similarly skilled players. If you have specific concerns about your child’s safety or skill level as compared to his or her peers, please contact the NWLL Player Agent to discuss your concerns.
