Registration for National’s Spring (April to June) Season is now open.
It is helpful to register as soon as possible, so we can start mapping out coaches and start to form teams.
Unfortunately, we are unable to confirm/determine practice and game schedules until registration is complete, as it depends on field approvals, how many kids register, how many teams we have, the schedule for interlock games (Rookies, Minors and Majors only) and most importantly how many people volunteered to coach and assistant coach.
Here’s a link to frequently asked questions, https://nationallittleleague.org/registration/faq/.
Blastball: 1 session per week on Sunday mornings held at Oaklands Park; One session from 9:00 – 9:45 and the other from 10:00 – 10:45am
Tee Ball: 1 game per week on Saturday mornings; 1 weeknight practice, either Monday or Tuesday night from 5:00 – 6:00pm (Please use the comment field when registering to indicate if you can’t do one of the nights).
Mini Minors: 1 game per week on Sunday mornings; 1 weeknight practice on Wednesday from 5:00 – 6:00pm
Rookie Minors: 1 games per week on Sunday afternoons; 2 weeknight practices on Tuesday and Thursday
Minors: 1 to 2 games per week possibly either one week night (Tuesday?) and Saturday or both; 2 practices on Monday and Wednesday night
Majors: 2 games per week possibly Friday evening and Sunday morning; 2 practices on Tuesday and Thursday nightFriend Requests are very popular and we do our very best to accommodate them especially for Blastball through Mini Minors. Once you move into Rookie Minors, Minors and Majors the teams are formed based on an assessment of skills and maturity level. National wants to ensure teams are balanced and kids are playing at a level to ensure safety and success.
Also, new this year Beacon Hill, National, and Hampton are partnering to offer a combined Intermediate program for players who will be league age 13, as well as keen 11- and 12-year-olds who are registered with their home park for Majors baseball. In the Intermediate division, players are introduced to leadoffs and a slightly larger playing field. Pitchers throw from a 50’ pitching rubber and the base paths are 70’. The field location is at Hampton Little League. There will be one game per week on Sunday evenings.
We are looking for coaches and assistant coaches for all ages, no experience necessary. We will hold a coaches meeting, free clinic and provide resources. The more we have the easier it is!

The current public health order (PHO)confirms it remains safe for all activities that would typically take place in a sports environment (other than tournaments) to continue. This includes our indoor player development clinics. We will continue to follow the PHO and ViaSport and update our return to play plan accordingly.
