As a general rule, players and their families are responsible for postseason tournament travel expenses.  NHLL will only provide tournament entry fees as well as one jersey and cap/visor per player.  Players are expected to use their regular season jersey and cap/visor for Tournament play.  Additional jerseys and caps/visors, as well as any other playing clothing or equipment, if desired, must be acquired separately from NHLL.  Any uniforms worn by the Team shall meet all Little League International rules.

Travel expenses for players and coaches attending the Little League World Series are provided by Little League International.

To help pay for expenses for State and Regional tournament attendance, each Tournament Team (team) can seek fundraising and sponsors in two ways:

1. On its own

   1. If a team raises funds on its own, all money raised must NOT be payable to NHLL.  Sponsors must not use NHLLs tax ID number for charitable donation purposes.  NHLL cannot and will not advise on how to use this money.  It is done at the risk of those fundraising.  All Little League International rules must be followed.

   2. Sponsors acquired via this option should understand that there is no expectation of any recognition by NHLL (website, field signs, etc).

1. Through NHLL

   1. If a team raises funds through NHLL, all money raised must be payable to NHLL.  Sponsors may use NHLLs tax ID number for charitable donation purposes.

   2. Reasonable travel expenses are eligible for reimbursement as follows:

Reasonable travel expenses may include lodging, mileage, airfare, per diem, and other travel expenses as deemed reasonable by the New Home Little League (NHLL) Board.  Dates for reasonable travel expenses are limited to one travel day prior to the tournament, all days of the tournament through the day of the Team’s last game, and one travel day following the tournament.  (Example:  Team plays Friday and Sunday.  Dates for reasonable travel expenses are Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday – four nights lodging, five days per diem.)

Reasonable travel expenses are limited to:

• Lodging – $150 maximum per night per family.

• Mileage – $0.655 per mile (unless otherwise established by the IRS) for one vehicle per family.  Mileage will be computed using Google Maps as follows:

  • Round trip from the New Home Baseball and Softball Complex to the destination playing field and returning to the New Home Baseball and Softball Complex, plus 25 miles per day at the tournament.

• Airfare – Total reimbursement for airfare per family shall not exceed the total mileage reimbursement costs computed as referenced herein.

• Per Diem – $50 per day per player and coach.

All requests for reimbursement shall be submitted using the attached Reimbursement Request Form.  Reimbursement requests for lodging and airfare must be accompanied by a receipt provided by the vendor.  Reimbursement shall be made following the Team’s return from the tournament.

The NHLL Board may authorize advance payment for expenses at their discretion.

Under no circumstances shall the amount of funds available for reimbursement of expenses exceed the total funds raised through NHLL by NHLL and/or team for Tournament Expenses, unless otherwise approved by the NHLL Board.  Any funds raised for Tournament Expenses that are not distributed shall be transferred into the NHLL General Operating Fund.
