Announcement
IMPORTANT ALL STAR INFORMATION
(Please read carefully if your child played in Juniors, 50/70, Majors or Minor A during Spring 2014)
Ocean View Little League will soon be selecting our 2014 All Star teams, and will proudly announce our All Star team rosters on Sunday, June 8th (per Little League rules, this date is non-negotiable). If your child has been selected for one of the All Star teams, you will receive a phone call on June 8th.
A parent/player meeting/ice cream social will be held Sunday, June 8th at 4PM at the OVLL fields (common area by snack bar). Please make sure an adult (preferably a parent) attends with the player, as we will be covering critical requirements for the All Star Tournament.
In the event that your child is selected for All Star play, you need to be aware of the following:
All players will be required to submit an ORIGINAL CERTIFIED BIRTH CERTIFICATE (no abstracts, baptismal certificates, etc) as well as THREE (3) ORIGINAL PROOFS OF RESIDENCY from THREE (3) different categories (ex: auto registration; bank statement; electric bill). Photocopies or printed Internet billings will NOT be accepted (California Driver’s License is the ONLY item that may be photocopied). If you have any concerns/questions about a document you are submitting, please supply a fourth document for consideration. For families with more than one child on an All Star team, we only need to get ONE set of the THREE supporting documents.
*Important Change for this year: Due to continued recent cheating with Residency Documents around the country, Little League Baseball will not accept statements dated after February 1, 2014. If you wish to submit a utility bill, bank statement, credit card statement, etc., be sure the date on the statement is between February 1, 2013 and February 1, 2014. Many documents issued yearly (i.e. property tax, car registration card, etc) will be ok as long as they weren’t issued after February 1, 2014. Any yearly issued document must include the February 1, 2014 date – this date is important to Little League as it covers the time the player was registered and playing. The only item that can be over 1 year old is a copy of CDL and it must be current (not expired). Should you choose to submit a copy of your CDL, make sure the copy you are submitting shows clearly the date of issue as well as expiration.

*If your child is playing for OVLL under a waiver, the league’s copy of the waiver will be used instead of the above mentioned residency documents!!
All documents for All Star players will be due by Sunday, JUNE 8th! We ask and encourage ALL parents to have their documents ready to bring to the parent/player meeting on June 8th to expedite this process. ALL documents will be held by OVLL until tournament play is over – again, no exceptions.
