Step 4: Register Online

Please register as soon as possible so we can ensure the right number of teams, managers, coaches and volunteers needed for the upcoming season. Registration deadline for Major and Minor divisions is Jan. 27th, 2018, as players must participate in mandatory tryouts prior to the player drafts. The Early Bird Discount Ends Dec. 17, 2017. We work hard to include all players, and late registrations may still be accepted, but will be limited to space available.

Email us at registrar@sunnyvalemetro.org if you have questions. 

Volunteering

SMLL is an entirely volunteer run organization. All families are asked to volunteer at both the league and team levels. 

Team volunteering is mandatory - The jobs will be determined later by your player’s Team Manager/Team Parent and typically includes field preparation, snack shack duty, announcer and score keeping. There may be a few options available to parents who wish to hire paid teen volunteers to do their assigned shifts/tasks. The cost of such hires is typically $20 per instance and arrangements have to be made directly with the individual volunteers.

Managing/Coaching/Team Parent - If you are interested in managing a team or coaching (helping the team manager), please sign yourself up during registration.  You will not be charged anything. All managers, assistant coaches, and team parents will be assigned using this system.
