When a local Little League applies for and receives approval for the annual charter, Little League Baseball provides the league with two rule books for each team in the league, plus an Operating Manual, at no charge. This means Little League provides more than 400,000 of these publications at no cost to the leagues. However, there may be a need for extra copies to be purchased.

Rule books and the Operating Manual are copyrighted publications of Little League Baseball, Incorporated. They are only available for purchase (phone or mail order) from Little League by District Administrators, Assistant District Administrators and other District Staff members, and members of the local Little League board of directors. They may also be purchased in person by those district or local Little League personnel attending functions at one of the headquarters offices of Little League Baseball.

They are not available in any type of electronic version. If a person other than those mentioned above wishes to obtain a copy of a rule book or Operating Manual, he/she must obtain one through the local Little League board of directors or a member of the District Staff. All SLL managers, coaches and umpires have been provided with the manual and local rules will also be provide here.
