NESLL serves families that live within, or go to a school within the following boundaries:

• West boundary:  25th N.E. to N.E. 80th, to 20th N.E., to Lake City Way to N.E. 110th
• North boundary: N.E. 110th
• South boundary: Ship Canal
• East boundary: Lake Washington

Our neighboring leagues:

• Ravenna-University-Greenlake (“RUG”) — RUG serves the area north and west of NESLL’s boundaries.
• North Central Little League — North Central serves the Greenlake-, Fremont- and Phinney Ridge neighborhoods.
• Seattle Central Little League – Seattle Central serves the area north of I-90 to the Ship Canal, and from Elliott Bay to Lake Washington.

NESLL strictly enforces its residency requirements, which are a condition of our Little League charter.  There are, however, some limited exceptions that allow children who live outside NESLL’s boundaries to participate in our programs:

• Baseball.  A child who played NESLL last year but has since moved outside NESLL’s boundaries may continue to play in NESLL via a Regulation IId waiver. The waiver must be approved by the NESLL president and by the District 8 Little League office. Once granted, this waiver is good for the remainder of the player’s career in NESLL and need not be requested in subsequent years. A player who qualifies under this waiver, however, and does not participate for a season is not eligible to play in NESLL in subsequent years.
• Softball.  Children who live within the aforementioned RUG boundaries are eligible to play NESLL softball as part of a NESLL-RUG reciprocal registration agreement.
