Kaat Kids Day and the Gentex Games: Returning for the 2024 season, ZLL wants to recognize players that have had outstanding seasons. Every ZLL team will select players to take part in an exhibition All-Star Game in June consisting of only ZLL players within their same division. Baseball players play on Kaat Kids Day (June 1). More details will be shared in the Spring after teams are formed.

Postseason Opportunities: After the regular season ends in mid-late June, some leagues play in postseason tournaments that vary based on division. These tournaments involve playing additional games, in some cases against other local leagues, and can last up until the end of June. More details on postseason tournaments are determined after team selections.

All-Star Tournament Teams: After the completion of the regular season and postseason tournaments, an All-Star tournament takes place from the end of June-mid July. If a player is interested in playing on an All-Star team, families must complete an All-Star Commitment Form for the player to be eligible for selection. Anyone who submits the commitment form can try-out for an All-Star team. All-Star teams are then selected by appointed committees in early June. Team selections are based on multiple factors (try-out performance, regular season performance, team needs, etc.) as decided by the committee. More information on All-Stars will be released in the Spring.

Zeeland Little League follows the Little League International rules, which apply to all other Little Leagues. There are, however, some unique rules that ZLL has applied to some divisions in order to develop appropriate skills and keep the game fun.

More details on rules will be posted as we transition from our previous website provider.
