Fall Ball:

In the Fall kids generally play up a level to prepare them for next season. Single A players may play in Minors. 9 year olds may play in Majors. 12 year olds will move up to the big (60/90) diamond and play with 13 year olds.

Our goal is to form teams and get a practice or two in before Labor Day, with games starting after the holiday.

Fall ball is a bit more relaxed with a focus on moving kids around to different positions. The emphasis is on building confidence, enjoying the game, and getting more reps.

The cost is $60 for 2024 LL ages 7-9, $85 for 2024 LL ages 10-12, and $100 for 2024 LL ages 13-14. The season typically will run from Labor Day until the beginning of November. We will be playing neighboring towns within our district.

Fall Ball registration is run on a first come first serve basis. We will close registration once we have enough players for a team in each group. We will add a second team per group if there is enough demand and coaches.
