Registration Update:  Thanks to all our families that have registered on the new website for the Spring season!  As a reminder, registration remains open until Friday, February 25th, so please jump online at http://fairfieldamericanlittleleague.org to register for another great season of baseball! 

 

Speaking of registration, please note that with our move to a new web provider, it's necessary for all of our families to create a new account when registering for the Spring season.  Simply access our website, click on the "Registration" tab, read through the information on the page and click on the Fairfield American player at the bottom of the page.  You'll now be on the actual registration site, where you will select "create a new account".  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email us at fairfieldamerican@gmail.com.  

 

Lastly, please remember that if your child is new to our league, we'll need to receive a copy of his/her birth certificate for our files.  This information can either be sent as an email attachment to fairfieldamerican@gmail.com, as a hard copy to our PO Box (which can be found on our website here) or you can bring this document to evaluations/pants pickup in March (more information below).

  • Regardless of whether or not a player is required to attend evaluations, all players should try to swing by Fairfield Woods during an evaluation session to pick up their pants for the Spring season.  Also, please bring your child's bat to evaluations/pants pickup so that a FALL official can certify that each bat passes the newly created Little League guidelines (more information can be found on our website here).
