Welcome to Emmett Little League

We have set up this page to provide you useful information, links, and resources for you and your player (s).  

At a time when children have many sports and activities to choose from, we are thrilled to have your child play baseball with Emmett Little League.  Emmett Little League has served Gem County for more than a decade, providing a positive environment for our youth to learn and love the game of baseball.  Our program puts an emphasis on fundamentals, teamwork, character, sportsmanship, and family involvement.  

Parent support during both games and practices is critically important to the success of Emmett Little League.   Be supportive of the team by ensuring your child attends each practice and game on-time.  Be a positive role model during all games and practices, whether you are a manager, an assistant coach, or simply a spectator.  Finally, please keep the following in mind:

  • Always be positive and enthusiastic.
  • Show your child positive reinforcement.
  • Encourage your child toward skill improvement and good sportsmanship in every game and practice.
  • Teach your child that hard work and an honest effort are often more important than a victory.
  • Applaud good plays by your team and members of the opposing team.
  • Let the managers and coaches do the coaching (it can create confusion for players during games). 
  • Let the umpire be the umpire.  Recognize that the umpire is the closest to the play and that each umpire will “call them as they see them.”  The umpire is a volunteer who has assumed a difficult, but necessary role.     
  • Establish a Coach-Parent relationship.  
  • Volunteer!!!

Can my child use their own bat or batting helmet?

Absolutely, but they MUST meet Little League International Requirements (see information below).  If not, they will be not allowed for use during ANY practice or game.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of personal equipment, please talk to a manager or coach. 

Umpires will check ALL equipment prior to each game and remove any equipment not meeting Little League specifications or safety guidelines (i.e. cracked or dented bat).

Helmet Guidelines

All helmets must bear the NOCSAE stamp. Helmets must have a non-glare surface and cannot be mirror-like in nature. Basically, no shiny helmets. 



WARNING!!  Manufacturers have advised that altering helmets in any way can be dangerous.  Altering the helmet in any form, including painting or adding decals (by anyone other than the manufacturer or authorized dealer) may void the helmet warranty.  Helmets may not be re-painted and may not contain tape or re-applied decals unless approved in writing by the helmet manufacturer or authorized dealer. 

DO NOT WRITE OR PLACE STICKERS ON THE SURFACE OF THE HELMET, as writing on the helmet surface may disqualify it from play.  Instead, label your child’s helmet by using a permanent marker and writing the player’s name on the foam inside.   

(Rule 1.16)
