DLL Registration Information 
Registration for DLL Challenger Baseball Still Open
DLL Challenger Baseball provides boys and girls with disabilities the opportunity to experience the emotional development and the fun of playing Little league Baseball. See below for more information on how to register.
Waitlist for the 2008 Spring Season Remains Open
A link to DLL's online waitlist for the 2008 Spring season is now available near the bottom of this web page. Players who join the waitlist will be contacted only if DLL is able to accommodate their registration request from the Spring. DLL's ability to accept players from the waitlist depends largely on player drops, number of teams and managers at each division, and field availability.
When joining the waitlist, you will be asked to complete the DLL registration form, and to enter credit card information, however you will not be charged immediately. If we are able to accommodate your registration request from the waitlist, we will first contact you to confirm your continued interest, then we will charge your credit card for your registration(s).
Online registration for the 2008 Spring season was available from early November through January 15, 2008. All players who are registered on or before January 15, 2008 will be placed on a team for the Spring season.
