Evaluations Schedule: Saturday 1/15/22

We are looking forward to welcoming your player onto the field this Saturday. 

A few points of clarity:

• To check which division your player is in, look on the 2022 Age chart for your child’s league age. 
  • Tee ball is league age 4-6,
  • Mini-minors is league age 7-8,
  • Minors is league age 9-10,
  • Majors is league age 11-12,
  • Juniors is league age 13-15. 
• No Evals for the tee ball division (but please swing by the field to drop off your volunteer check).
• If your player is on the waitlist – please come to evals – evals are still mandatory for if your player is placed on a team. 
• The $200 volunteer check is dated for the end of the season and will be held as a deposit to ensure that your family works the required volunteer shifts per player.  The check will not be cashed unless the volunteer shifts are not worked.  If you do not want to work the volunteer shifts, you have the option to pay $125 as a ‘volunteer buyout’. 
• Evals are 100% outdoors, but please remember to have your player bring a mask while waiting. 

Please arrive a full 15 minutes before your scheduled start time (check in at the picnic tables) and remember to bring your volunteer deposit check ($200 made out to GVSLL, dated 6/1/22, with player name and division in the memo line).  Evals are mandatory.  If you have a conflict, you must contact   in advance.

Note: This is not a tryout.  Everyone makes a team.  Skills Evals help to create balanced teams for a fun, competitive season for everyone. 

It’s time to play ball! 

Dear Community Members,

As we near the end of 2021, we wanted to thank those of you who have stood with Goleta Valley South Little League (GVSLL) both with the time commitments and with your generous financial support. After a very challenging 2020, we were incredibly grateful to be able to bring our youth together in 2021 to play the game of baseball.

GVSLL is committed to bring children together by providing our local youth, ages 4-15, with the opportunity to play baseball. Each year, hundreds of GVSLL ball players learn the values of teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play, to become stronger athletes and more confident children, and develop a passion for the game of baseball. All of this would not be possible without our volunteers and donors.

As a GVSLL sponsor or donor, your contributions help the league with critical maintenance and improvement needs for our facilities, fund registration scholarships for low-income families, and help cover the costs of uniforms, training, equipment, etc. While we are optimistic the worst is behind us with regards to the Covid-19 pandemic, we do anticipate a larger need for scholarships as the economic hardships brought on by the pandemic are still impacting many in our community.

With our local youth in mind, we are reaching out during this special season to ask you to please consider making a donation – big or small – to GVSLL to continue to develop and foster a love for the game of baseball in our community. To donate or become a league sponsor please use our Donate Now Form or Sponsorship Form or visit our website to learn more about the league.   

On behalf of the GVSLL Board of Directors, I would like to thank you in advance for your support and wish you a very Happy Holidays. Should you have any questions or wish to discuss supporting a larger capital project need you would like to donate towards, please feel free to contact me at  .
