There have been updates to the registration website host, Sports Connect. New users will be prompted to create an account. Previous users will need to follow these steps:

You will be asked to Upload your Birth Certificate and will need on file when filling out this registration. If you upload Birth Certificate in the past, you can bypass the upload. 

You will also need to Upload your Drivers License if you are volunteering. Little League success is based on its volunteers, we have plenty of opportunities for you as parents to get involved during the registration process, especially in concessions and umpiring.

The registration fee is $100 per player for all softball divisions. If you register by 1/2/23, you will receive a $10 per player discount. Siblings receive a $5 discount. All registration fees are non-refundable. Barrier Islands Little League is a nonprofit organization and operates on a tight budget with minimal carryover from year-to-year. The majority of the money collected for registration fees goes to uniforms, equipment, field supplies, and insurance. We use Concessions, Sponsorships, and Fundraising to help those who have hardships and cannot afford to pay some or all of the registration costs. You can apply for a grant to cover registration fees here. These funds also help pay the additional costs for field use, lighting, umpires, concessions, and cleaning. Refunds will be given on a case-by-case basis based on successful fundraising efforts, the understanding of potential financial hardship, and the overall cost incurred by the league at the time of request. We ask that if your child is not able to play, instead of a refund, you will accept a credit to use toward the next season. Given the expenses our program is faced with throughout the year, any donation is greatly appreciated.

*In years past, the League has previously offered a partial registration refund after four hours of volunteering during the season. However, we did not receive the volunteer interest as needed to continue offering the volunteer refund. The Board has decided to increase the registration fee to cover the cost of additional expenses.
