FAQ’s for Fall Ball Season:

Q:  When can I register my player/When's registration open?

A:  Generally, we open registration sometime around late July to early August for about 3-4 weeks.

Q:  What level should I sign my player up for?

A:  Generally, we recommend signing up for a level HIGHER than your child played in the Spring, with the goal being that this will help prepare your child for playing in that level come spring baseball. However, recognize playing up in Fall does not guarantee your child will play at that level for Spring 2025 ball. We strive to place kids on teams where they can be successful, have fun and learn to love the game.

Q:  Which divisions will be available for Fall Ball?

A:  Pacific (for players who will be 7u or 8u next Spring), National League (9/10u), and American League (11/12u).  There is no T-Ball or International baseball in the Fall.

Q:  If my child was a 12u player in Spring, can he/she play Fall baseball?

A:  Unfortunately, not with LOLL, but there are other fine local organizations to help you continue your child's baseball career beyond Little League including JBO in Lake Oswego.  

Q:  Will there be tryouts?

A:  No. Your child will play in the chosen level unless the league determines issues with safety dictate a lower level of play.

Q:  When's the Fall Ball season length?

A:  The season generally lasts from late August until late October.

Q:  Will there be practices?

A:  Maybe only a couple--ultimately it will depend on the coach. Most coaches prefer to offer some reps and build team chemistry before the season begins and then occasional practice during the season.

Q:  How does Fall baseball compare with Spring baseball?

A:  Hopefully it's played in drier weather!!  Fall baseball is a more casual atmosphere than Spring baseball. We also compete against other Little Leagues rather than exclusively within our own league. This gives the kids a chance to see the other leagues players. If you have to miss a game here or there, no big deal.

Q:  Can I request specific teams or teammates?

A:  Yes!  There is no draft in Fall baseball, and we'll do our best to accommodate team/coach/teammate requests. 

Q: Who can I contact if I have more questions about Fall Ball?

A: Casey Colton, the LOLL Fall Ball Commissioner, at [email protected]
