Summer baseball and softball is played after the end of the traditional spring season.  The season usually starts in late June / early July and ends in August. 

Summer ball is a good time for Ballard Little League (BLL) kids to play casual "Sandlot" ball, develop skills and have fun. It is also a chance for players to "play up" to the level they will be next season.

For summer baseball, BLL usually offers two divisions. For softball, the divisions vary depending on the team profiles and other available teams.

BLL summer teams play each other and against other nearby leagues. The season usually culminates with an end-of-summer tournament. Teams generally play 2 games per week in the early evening, Monday-Thursday (occasionally Friday). There are no practices or weekend games. Rosters are larger to accommodate vacations and summer absences. The emphasis in on practice and fun rather than competition and rules.
