Fall Ball Registration Now Open!
We’re excited to open registration for Fall Ball 2025 season today with some exciting new changes to the program!
The season will run from early September though early November and this year we’re offering teams at the AA, AAA, Majors and, for the first time (in recent memory), Intermediate and Juniors divisions!
During the Fall Ball season, players will develop their skills in a fun and relaxed environment to stay sharp, improve and prepare for the Spring 2026 season. UPDATE 7/10/25: Fall Ball is now open to all players, not just returning Spring 2025 players. Register soon – space is limited!
This fall, in addition to adding Intermediate and Juniors divisions, Fall Ball is going to look a little different from recent years. Here’s what players can expect this year:
- Pre-season: We are going to have a few weeks of practices and informal scrimmages to start so the coaches can focus on skills development in a non-competitive environment. Players will have one midweek practice and then one combined practice/informal scrimmage game on the weekends.
- Regular season: Following our pre-season, there will be a short regular season where teams will continue to practice once a week and play one game on the weekends.
- End-of-Season Mini-tournament: Each division will hold a short single-elimination tournament to end the season.
Divisions:
- AA Fall Ball is for players league-age 8-10 (born 9/1/15-8/31/18) who played Farm B or AA in the Spring and want to work on the fundamentals of competitive baseball – basically, players with 0-1 seasons of kid-pitch already. AA Fall Ball will be exclusively kid-pitch and will play with the rules of AA.
- AAA Fall Ball is for players league-age 9-11 (born 9/1/14-8/31/17) who played AA or AAA in the Spring – players with 1-2 seasons of kid-pitch already. AAA Fall Ball will be kid-pitch and will play with the rules of AAA.
- Majors Fall Ball is for players league-age 10-12 (born 9/1/13-8/31/16) who played AAA or Majors in the Spring – basically, players with 2-4 seasons of kid-pitch already. Majors Fall Ball will be kid-pitch and will play with the rules of Majors.
- Intermediate Fall Ball is for players league-age 11-13 (born 9/1/12-8/31/15) who played Majors or Intermediate in the Spring. Intermediate Fall Ball will play with the rules of Intermediates which includes kid-pitch from 50 feet and 70 feet between bases (bigger than little league diamond / smaller than big league diamond) and 7-inning games.
- Juniors Fall Ball is for players league-age 12-14 (born 9/1/11-8/31/14) who played Intermediate or Juniors in the Spring. Juniors Fall Ball will play with the rules of Juniors which includes kid-pitch on a big league diamond that is the same dimensions as middle school, high school, college and MLB ball fields (pitching from 60.6 feet and 90 feet between bases) and 7-inning games.
Important notes:
- Fall Ball teams will be formed by coordinators and coaches, not by tryouts and draft.
- Please note that playing in a particular Fall Ball division does NOT guarantee that you’ll be drafted into that same division for the subsequent Spring season.
