UPDATE as of June, 2009: Thanks to the tremendous support from Mayor Daley, his Department of Planning and Development, and his Chicago Park District, along with Aldermen Danny Solis (25th), Bob Fioretti (2nd), Walter Burnett (27th), and Ed Smith (28th), Livingston Field was dedicated as a City park on Opening Day. NWLL had pleaded its case to the IMDC at quarterly meetings for the last four years and even filed a lawsuit against them for lack of open meetings and disclosure. The City had to sacrifice other public land in exchange for the Park. Recent IMDC leadership neglected the City's local partnership and posted signs on two fences (shown below) for the last two years stating their intention to unneccesarily build on the site and destroy our field of dreams, which has been a great community asset and green space for 15 years. Good government matters, and the IMDC must be accountable to community oversight! On May 20, 2009 the City Council approved the acquistion of Livingston Field as Livingston Park from IMD, though sadly at the expense of trading other land. On July 19, 2007, the City Council (sponsors Ald. Burnett, Ald. Fioretti, and Ald. Solis) and Mayor Daley unanimously passed a resolution urging the IMDC to keep Livingston Park a baseball field, and we deeply thank them for their official support! Without their long-term devotion, the Park and NWLL would have been bulldozed and pushed aside by the IMDC. NWLL strongly condemned IMDC's self-serving position.

Player Registration

The NWLL exists to inspire our youth to play ball, have fun, make friends, get exercise, be fair, and support your team. Everyone is welcome to join our official Little League.

All players must fill out this registration form and have a parent or guardian sign it. Forms may be given to any coach or during Opening Day. Forms are due by Opening Day to guarantee team placement. Please only turn in $25 registration fees to your head coach, during Opening Day or to any Board member listed on the Contacts webpage. Checks should be payable to: "Near West Little League".

Age cut-off date is May 1-- your league age is determined by how old you are on May 1 or after. Birth certificate verification is only necessary on request. As an alternative, official school student reports will count as verification.
