In 2026, Atlee Little League will be entering its 59th season in providing our community with the facilities and opportunity to participate in Little League Baseball, Softball and Challenger programs. We look forward to serving the kids and families of our community once again.
This page has been created to assist you with the many questions that arise during the registration period and the spring season.
Registration Dates:
Tee Ball, and Beginner/Intermediate Coach Pitch: 12/1/2025 thru 2/15/2026

Registration will begin December 1st. In the closing days of registration, some divisions will start reaching capacity. We urge all to register early to avoid any possible division closures. Once registration closes, Atlee Little League will accept late registrations only if availability remains to fill out teams. At that time your child may be wait listed until assigned a team. A $50.00 late fee will be assessed to all late registrations. This late fee may be waived by the league, due to unforeseen circumstances or hardship that prevents a family from registering by the closing date.
Families that register late may experience a delay in receiving their child’s uniform.
Refunds:
Cancel before registration closes: 100% refund – $10 processing fee
Cancel after registration closes but before teams assigned: 50% refund

Your 2026 Division Directors:

The division director shall also be the first point of contact for all managers, coaches, and parents within their assigned division.
TBD
Play With Requests:
Requests will reviewed on an individual basis. Due to the draft system employed in Minors 7/8 and above, the league cannot honor play with requests in these divisions. This helps the league maintain the fair and competitive balance of the division. All siblings registered within the same division will automatically be paired together. If your child plays in Tee Ball, Beg. Coach Pitch BB/SB or Int. Coach Pitch BB, you can make your requests in the Sports Connect system when registering your child.
Note: We will do our best to honor the requests but none are guaranteed as we need to maintain balance throughout the leagues based on age and experience.
Financial Assistance:
Atlee Little League understands that circumstances may arise that may hinder a families ability to pay for registration fees. If you have a situation that prevents your family from registering your children, please contact the league president. Your email should include your children’s name(s), what kind of assistance you are requesting, and a brief reason why you are making such request. The five members of the Executive Board will review all requests. Financial assistance can range from partial to full scholarship. The league also has the ability to offer your family a payment plan.
You may also look at the T-Mobile Call Up Grant program. This is a Little League program that assists families with paying for registration fees.
Uniforms:
Each player will be receive a hat and a shirt as a part of their registration fees (Softball players will receive “crazy socks” in lieu of the hat). Optional purchases offered are:
Baseball Belt & Sock Combo: $ 20.00 (color chosen by team manager)
Softball Belt Only Option: $ 10.00 (color chosen by team manager)
All belt and sock purchases are non-refundable.
Equipment:
Please visit our equipment page for more information in regards to what equipment your child will need. It is very important that you take the time to become familiar with the USA Baseball Bat rules that went into effect in January 1, 2018.

The practice season will typically start by the first week of March and continue through the end of March. Teams will be scheduled a minimum of one practice during the week and one practice on Saturday. Due to the high number of participants in older age divisions, Majors and older, should expect to have practices start around 7:45pm during the week. Practice times on Saturday will be random. Teams will also be randomly scheduled through the week. Tee Ball, and Beginner Coach Pitch will start practices in Mid-March.
The game season will start at the end of March and continue through the first week of June. Divisions that incorporate playoffs into their schedules can expect playoffs to conclude by the first week of June. All other divisions continue play through the end of the school year. Teams should expect one to three games per week depending on division and if any games are needed to be rescheduled due to weather. Games will only be scheduled on Sunday if extreme circumstances warrant the league to do so. During the game season, the older age divisions, Majors and older, should expect to have game times starting at 8:00pm. All games shall be concluded by 10:00pm. No games are scheduled for the week of spring break or Memorial Day weekend.
All practices will be held at the Atlee Little League Complex (8324 Whippoorwill Rd, Mechanicsville, VA). Some games may be played at other area Little Leagues depending on enrollment numbers and the availability of interleague play.
