Almaden Little League Fall 2024

/in , , , /by

Almaden Little League Fall 2024 Registration for Almaden Little League Fall 2024 is currently open!

Baseball:

Fall little league baseball rec season runs from September through mid-November. During “Fall Ball” it’s likely that Almaden L.L. teams will play teams from other leagues (e.g., Campbell L.L., San Jose-American L.L., Lincoln Glen L.L., etc.) – both at home in Almaden and away at their fields. Games are typically on Sundays.

Fall Ball is a great opportunity for any kid to have more fun and get more practice. It’s also an opportunity to play in the divisions they will play in the coming spring. If they are moving up a division, they will get used to the higher level in a low-stress environment.

Softball:

Fall little league softball rec season is inexpensive and travel is limited. This is a great opportunity for any girl to have more fun and get more practice. It’s also an opportunity to play in the divisions they will play in the coming spring. If they are moving up a division, they will get used to a bigger ball and a bigger field in a low stress environment.

Should there be interest, summer competitive teams will continue to play competitive softball into the fall.

It’s advised that all girls play in the division they are moving to in the spring regardless of competition level.

For more information, go to the Almaden Little League Baseball and Softball website or email [email protected].
