Welcome to our new website
We have a new redesigned website that contains much of the information from our previous website as well as many new features. One of the new features you will notice is the online registration process. There have been significant changes to the process. When you select the Registration tab at the top of the page, you will be taken to the beginning page of registration. The first time you start the process, EVERYONE will need to choose the "new player" option.The reason for this is that our previous data base of player information could not be integrated into our new website. During the registration process you will be asked to choose a password. Please be sure to write down the email address and the password for your account as we do not have access to the passwords. This will allow you to access your account at anytime if you need to make changes, add another player or update players information next year. There are two programs that you will be asked to chose from, the Baseball program and the Softball program. Please make sure you select the correct program for your child. If you are registering a player in the Challenger division, please choose the baseball program. If you have any questions, please send an email to registration@danielboonell.org.
2012 Registration
Registration for our 2012 baseball and softball season is now open. Before you start the registration process, please read the section above for details on how our new registration process works. Daniel Boone Little League baseball boundaries encompass all 5-14 year olds who live in the Columbia Public School District and all 5-16 year old softball players who live in Boone County. The deadline for registration is February 29th. A late fee of $20 will apply after the deadline. Please refer to the Little League age charts located on our Forms tab to determine which division you should register your son or daughter in. Players are placed into divisions based on their age as of April 30th, 2012 for baseball and as of December 31st, 2011 for softball. When you fill out the registration forms, please enter your childs age as of these dates. After you have determined which division to use, select the registration tab at the top of the page to begin online registration. If you would prefer to mail in your registration, you can download a form here: Mail-in Registration.

At the conclusion of registration team rosters will be filled and you will be notified of your childs team and coach the last week of March. Practice begins the first week of April with practice dates and frequency determined on a team by team basis by each coach. Games begin the last week of April and conclude the last week of June.

Sponsorships
Daniel Boone Little League boundaries encompass the Columbia Public School District. We strive to keep fees as low as possible while continuing to provide the utmost service possible to our players. Sponsors contribute greatly to our league goal of service to these thirteen hundred plus outstanding young men and women, while gaining valuable advertising to a large part of the Columbia population. Daniel Boone Little League is 100% funded by participant registration fees, fundraising, contributions, and team sponsorships, and we are a totally volunteer managed organization. All sponsorships and contributions to Daniel Boone Little League are tax deductible, as our organization is a not-for-profit organization registered 501(c)(3). Our sponsorship form details the following types of sponsorships available: Individual team sponsorships, field banner sponsorships ( including sizes and display details), and website banner sponsorships. If you wish to sponsor a team with a particular child as a player, please indicate so on the form and EVERY effort will be made to make the request possible.

Game cancellations
We have several ways that we notify you in the event games need to be cancelled due to inclement weather. We make the determination by 4:00 PM on game days. If games do need to be cancelled, we post a message on our website, our Facebook page and on our Twitter page. We also use text messaging that you can sign up for by going to the KOMU website. Rescheduling rained out games are the responsibility of the coaches. The coaches should agree on a date to play and then contact either the Director of Baseball or Softball to make sure a field is available and if necessary umpires. Make up game dates, time and field location will be posted on our rescheduling calendar which can be found here.
