The Georgia State Little League Association created the Sandlot Baseball Tournament in 2015 and the Sandlot Softball Tournament in 2019. This tournament is for players league age 8 and 9.

This is a Special Games Tournament and as such the state association applies for and receives approval every year to host the tournament. The rules of the tournament are submitted for approval before play can begin.

The state uses a Tournament Eligibility Affidavit, similar to the one used by Little League International, to verify the age and residence of every player.

The Tournament is broken down into 3 sections: District, Section and State.

1. District: Each district advances 2 teams to the Section.
2. Section: There are 3 sections in the state: NW (districts 1, 2, 3,4); NE (districts 6, 7, 10) and S (districts 5, 8, 9). The winner of each section advances to the state tournament.
3. State: The State Tournament is hosted by Warner Robins American Little League. The tournament is held in June, usually over Father's Day weekend. 

Note:  Beginning with the 2023 Tournament Season, all managers/coaches, and any replacement coaches, must complete the Diamond Leader Training prior to being appointed to a tournament team.   Register and take the course.  It is recommended that you print your completion certificate and include it in the tournament team paperwork.

Sandlot Baseball and Softball is open to league age 8 and 9 year old's only.
