Registration for Spring Ball will open November 13, 2023!

Registration dates: 11/13/2023 - 01/17/2024

The spring season of baseball is the quintessential Little League baseball experience. Families can expect a few weeks of practice, followed by a competitive game schedule with games typically 1-2 times per week. 

Fall Ball is generally less structured and more focused on learning the fundamentals and further developing skills, with more practices and a lighter game schedule. Fall Ball is also the perfect time to try new positions or move up in divisions. 

For more information on our divisions, please visit Our Divisions page.

-- Tee-ball players are NOT required to attend skills evaluations.
-- Everyone that attends skill evaluations will make a team.
-- Evaluations are done by age, youngest to oldest

**Gear Donation Drive. The Gear Donation Drive will not only allow you to clean out your closets and the garage of old, out sized equipment, but also let you pick up some much-needed equipment for a suggested donation of only $5! Please take a few minutes to collect any equipment, uniforms, and cleats that are too small for your players, bring them to skill evaluations and donate to our families that need it. Proceeds will go toward SMLL's Scholarship Fund to cover registration dues for families that cannot afford them.
