All players and teams practice during the month of March, usually twice per week. Once during the week and once on a Saturday. Game are played throughout the months of April, May and June. Teams usually play a 12-18 game Little League season, weather permitting. When the weather is cold during March and early April, with our younger players in Tball we try to schedule practices and games in our Indoor Training Facility (ITF). We also offer a Fall-ball instructional program for all players during the months of September and October. During the winter months of November, December, January and February, your child can sign up and workout with other players and coaches within their division.
