• "Playing Up" in the Fall:
  • Any current LL8 (AA) or LL10 (AAA) player who would otherwise be eligible, based upon Little League Age, to move up to the next higher division (AAA or Majors, respectively) in Spring '25 may request to "play up" in next higher division this Fall '24 rather than waiting until the Spring '25 season. To request to "play up" this Fall please: 1) Note the request on your registration form and 2) email KLLplayerReg@gmail.com advising of such. All requests must be received by email by 8/23/24 to be considered. 
  • "Mustangs" move ups: Any player who is currently "Little League Age 7" (and who played Mustangs this past Spring '24 season) who wishes to "play up" for the first time (thus play in AA/KidPitch) this Fall may request to do so by emailing KLLplayerReg@gmail.com to advise. As we get closer to the registration deadline we will then assess the demand and see if we have the available resources (number of players, managers, coaches, etc.) to properly support any such LL7 requests.
• Please note, KLL prioritizes ensuring sufficient resources are available (number of players, coaches, managers, etc.) to properly support and develop all players in their Little League Age assigned divisions before considering move-ups
• As such, all "play up" requests are subject to the approval of the KLL Player Agent and President, in consultation with the relevant Division VPs. 
• All programs offered, or which may be offered, are subject to final registration numbers and availability of sufficient managers and coaches for each team.

**Dates subject to change – Please visit KensicoLittleLeague.net for updates, news, and information. **

Please make sure you drive slowly down Kensico Avenue (the road leading to Pat Henry Field) and in the parking lot.  The 30 seconds you save on the way in is not worth the risk you are putting our children in by speeding.  10 mph is more than fast enough. Please remind family and friends that this is an area that requires slow driving.

I will support coaches and officials working with my child, in order to encourage a positive and enjoyable experience for all.

I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, and will refrain from their use at all Kensico Little League events.
