We are preparing for an another exciting season at Chaires!  Spring Registration will open on December 13th and close January 9th so mark your calendars now. Be sure to register early (and tell your friends)!

The 2022 Spring Schedule has been released and can be accessed here. Please keep in mind, dates are subject to change but will be communicated.

The Little League Age Chart should be utilized when determining which division your child will play. This Little League standard is in place to ensure all players worldwide are on the same age level throughout the season.

Information for each of the divisions can be found under the Information Tab above or by clicking the link below:

• Tee-Ball

• Machine Pitch

• Minors

• Majors

• Seniors

The League Boundary Map will help determine whether or not your child is within the CCLL boundaries and is eligible to play at Chaires.

The CCLL Local League Rules provides answers to many questions broken down by divisions.

A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) has been posted to the website that provides answers to questions you may have.

Fall 2021 Schedule*

PARENT CODE OF CONDUCT

We, the Chaires-Capitola Little League, have implemented the following Parent Code of Conduct for the important message it holds about the proper role of parents in supporting their child in sports. Parents will read, understand and sign this form prior to their child/children participating in our league. Any parent guilty of improper conduct at any game or practice will be asked to leave the sports facility and be suspended from the following game. Repeat violations may cause a multiple game suspension, or the season forfeiture of the privilege of attending all games.

The essential elements of character-building and ethics in sports are embodied in the concept of sportsmanship and six core principles. The highest potential of sports is achieved when competition reflects these “six pillars of character.”

• Trustworthiness;
• Respect;
• Responsibility;
• Fairness;
• Caring; and
• Good Citizenship.

I THEREFORE AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:

1. I will not force my child to participate in sports.
2. I will remember that children participate to have fun and that the game is for youth, not adults.
3. I will inform the coach of any physical disability or ailment that may affect the safety of my child or the safety of others.
4. I will learn the rules of the game and the policies of the league.
5. I (and my guests) will be a positive role model for my child and encourage sportsmanship by showing respect and courtesy, and by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches, officials and spectators at every game, practice or other sporting event.
6. I (and my guests) will not engage in any kind of unsportsmanlike conduct with any official, coach, player, or parent such as booing, taunting; refusing to shake hands; or using profane language or gestures.
7. I will not encourage any behaviors or practices that would endanger the health and well being of the athletes.
8. I will teach my child to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
9. I will demand that my child treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect regardless of race, creed, color, sex or ability.
10. I will teach my child that doing one’s best is more important than winning, so that my child will never feel defeated by the outcome of a game or his/her performance.
11. I will praise my child for competing fairly and trying hard, and make my child feel like a winner every time.
12. I will never ridicule or yell at my child or other participants for making a mistake or losing a competition.
13. I will emphasize skill development and practices and how they benefit my child over winning. I will also de-emphasize games and competition in the lower age groups.
14. I will promote the emotional and physical well being of the athletes ahead of any personal desire I may have for my child to win.
15. I will respect the officials and their authority during games and will never question, discuss, or confront coaches at the game field, and will take time to speak with coaches at an agreed upon time and place.
16. I will demand a sports environment for my child that is free from drugs, tobacco, and alcohol and I will refrain from their use at all sports events.
17. I will refrain from coaching my child or other players during games and practices, unless I am one of the official coaches of the team.
