About California District 52
CA District 52 is located in Northern California and covers most of the San Francisco Peninsula, containing member leagues from San Mateo County and Northern Santa Clara County. San Mateo National Little League is a member of District 52 (“D52”).
Following the completion of the Spring regular season, SMNLL selects All-Star teams to represent us at the District level during the summer.
The Tournament Path
D52 hosts All-Star tournaments across six age groups — 10U, 11U, 12U, 13U, 14U, and 16U. The winners of the D52 Tournament for each age group advance to the California Section 3 tournaments. Section 3 winners then advance to the Northern California tournament. For all age groups except 12U, that is the final tournament of the summer.
For the 12s, the Northern California champion advances to the Western Regional in San Bernardino, CA, where they face Little League champions from Arizona, Southern California, and Hawaii for a chance to advance to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania — broadcast nationally each year on ESPN and ABC.
