Cheltenham Little League

Step-by-step guide for registering a player

Waitlist Policy

Cheltenham Little League strives to provide every player the opportunity to participate; however, team space is limited. When a division reaches its maximum capacity, additional registrations will be placed on a waitlist.

First Come, First Served:

The waitlist operates strictly on a first come, first serve basis. Players will be offered open spots in the order that their waitlist registration was received.

No Guaranteed Placement:

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee a spot in the league. Availability depends on roster space, team balance, and league capacity.

Notification of Acceptance:

If a spot becomes available, families will be notified via email. Please make sure the email address associated with your registration is current and checked regularly.

Payment Requirement:

Once notified of acceptance, payment must be completed before a player may participate in any team activities, including practices or games.

Payment Deadline:

  • Families accepted from the waitlist will be given a specific payment deadline, which will be stated in the acceptance email.

  • Payment must be received by the stated deadline to confirm your child's spot on the roster.

  • If payment is not received by the deadline, the spot will be offered to the next player on the waitlist.

  • Once payment is submitted and your player is added to a roster, all standard refund policies will apply.

Cheltenham Little League appreciates your understanding and cooperation as we work to accommodate as many players as possible. Thank you for your interest and support of our community program!
