Seasons of Play
Annually, SMNLL offers two seasons of baseball, Spring and Fall ("Fall Ball")
Our Spring season typically runs from February to the end of May. Practices begin in February and games usually start the last weekend of February for our upper divisions (Majors & AAA) and the first weekend of March for our lower divisions (AA, Single A, T-Ball and Wiffle Ball). Registration for our the Spring season generally opens in mid-October and closes at the end of December.
Following the Spring season, some players are selected to represent SMNLL on our All-Star teams.
Fall Ball typically runs from late August through mid-November annually. Fall Ball is geared towards development and fun and is more casual in nature than the Spring season as there is no standings. Fall Ball is a means for players to continue to sharpen their skills in preparation of the next Spring season. Registration for Fall Ball generally opens in late May / early June and closes in early August.
