All players must submit proof of age and residency (or of school attendance) in order to be eligible for the draft and/or placement on a team.
These documents must be verified every year.
Proof of Age
A birth certificate is required to verify proof of age. If a birth certificate is not available, please review this document for additional details: PROOF-OF-AGE REQUIREMENTS - ACCEPTABLE FORMS OF PROOF OF BIRTH DATE.
Note 1: Passports are not an acceptable form of age verification.
Note 2: An original birth certificate (no photocopies) will be required for tournament play (TOC, All Stars, etc.). Only applies to qualifying upper division teams and players.
Proof of Residency or of School Attendance
To be eligible to play at CMLL, players must reside within boundary or attend classes at a school that is within our boundary. To see a map of our boundary and a list of eligible schools visit our League Boundary page.
Note: Players who established “residence” or “school attendance” for regular season and/or tournament
prior to the previous season using the Tournament Player Verification Form, and can produce the form with
proper proofs and signatures, will be grandfathered and will NOT need to complete a new Tournament Player
Verification Form.

address, city, state, and zip code information, dated or in force between February 1 of the previous year and
