This document expires annually at the end of the fiscal year and must be renewed annually. It includes the local Board's procedures for selection of Tournament Teams (All Stars) and specific ground rules for various divisions.

Because each local Little League Board of Directors should have authority to change these types of procedures, they require only Board of Directors consent, without general membership approval. No part of the by-laws, local rules or ground rules can conflict with or supersede any Little League rule, regulation or policy.

The by-laws, local rules or ground rules are to be distinguished from the Little League Constitution. The Constitution spells out the duties and responsibilities of the officers of the Board, definition of membership, election procedures meeting requirements such as a quorum, etc.

The various items in these documents contain information that is pertinent to the Managers, Coaches and Players. It is the Manager's responsibility to make sure his/her Players and Coaches are aware of the By-Laws.
