When is the season played?
The season typically starts around the last weekend of August and will continue through the end of October. Practices will start during the second half of August.
How does fall ball differ from spring baseball?
Fall ball is less structured and less formal than the spring season. The play is more recreational but with a focus on instruction and preparing players for the next spring season. Fall ball provides the player an opportunity to try new positions and experience the next level of play depending on their age (e.g. a coach pitch level player moving to kid pitch/minors)
What is the players "little league age"?
Players "league age" is determined by their age on August 31, 2024 (note: next years league age). You can refer to our Age Requirements page to quickly determine your child's age. Simply look for your child's birthday month/year and then add 1 to the league age to determine the fall ball age. As an example, someone born in July 2011 would be little league aged 13 for fall ball.
What player ages are eligible to play fall ball?
For the 2023 fall ball season, we plan to offer teams for anyone fall ball league aged 5-12.
What are the fall ball divisions?
We plan to have four levels of play this year. We will have a tee ball division, an instructional/coach pitch division, a minor league level and a major league level.
When and where do the players practice? Players will practice either at our Normalville field, Mill Run field or our Dunbar field. We will provide the opportunity during the registration process for you to provide your preference for your home field. However, depending on the number and mix of players that register, we may have to assign a player to a different field to balance the teams. Or, we could have a situation where we will only have a Dunbar or Mountain team, in such a scenario, we will endeavor to split time between fields.
When will the games be played?
Games are can be played as double headers on Saturday or Sunday or in the evening during the week. The final game schedules will be determined by each teams coach.
How are teams formed?
Players are assigned to a team at the discretion of the league. Home field requests are honored whenever possible, but this will be dependent on the kids that register. If no home field requests are made during registration, we will make every attempt to place your player on the field closest to the home address of the player.
What equipment does the league provide?
The league will provide a player jersey and hat. In addition, the league will provide baseballs and catchers gear as required. If a bat or helmet is required by the player, please let us know and we may have some used gear that they could use.
What equipment does the player need to provide?
Players are expected to provide their own fielding glove and baseball spikes. In addition, wearing a cup is strongly encouraged for all male players and little league requires all male players to wear an athletic supporter. Male catchers are required to wear a cup.
Will there be a concession stand during home games?
Yes, we will have a concession stand and ALL parents will be expected to help run the stand during their turn. We will do our best to share this responsibility equally. The concession stand is very important to help us pay for the umpires during the season.
