Tri-Lakes Little League is excited to share that the T-Mobile Little League® Call Up Grant is returning for the 2026 season. This program, supported by T-Mobile and Little League International, helps cover registration fees for families experiencing financial constraints. The goal of the Call Up Grant is to ensure every child has the opportunity to play baseball or softball, regardless of financial or personal circumstances.

To be eligible, families must provide proof that their child is currently receiving Medicaid, SNAP, or WIC benefits. Documentation must include the child’s name and eligibility or issued dates from within the last 12 months or show a future expiration date. Grant funds are provided directly to approved families via a restricted-use electronic debit card to maintain confidentiality.

Application Window:
Applications will be accepted from January 15 through February 4, 2026. The application portal opens daily at 1:00 p.m. ET (10:00 a.m. PT) and will close once the daily limit of 850 applications is reached, so families are encouraged to apply early.

Families who have already registered and paid for the 2026 season may still apply. If approved, families should work directly with their league to coordinate a reimbursement. League officers can find additional guidance and resources in the Little League Support Portal.

We are grateful to T-Mobile for their continued support of Little League families and for helping make the game accessible to all.
