Ballard Little League is a community based, youth baseball and softball program that has been active in our neighborhood since 1954. We are very proud of our legacy as one of the oldest little leagues in the state. As our Ballard neighborhood grows, more and more youth are coming out to participate in our baseball and softball programs.
Players in A and Tee Ball will get their team assignments by mid-month. Players in AA ball should get their team assignments soon, and AAA, Majors, Juniors and Seniors already have their teams and the first few weeks of practice scheduled. If you haven’t downloaded the GameChanger app yet, please do. GC is how coaches message parents/players and track player availability. (Please note: you must use the same email address tied to your BLL/Sports Connect account in GameChanger).

We need your help! Can you pitch in and umpire a game?
We are close to our umpire volunteer goals for the season. We still need 5-6 more adult volunteers. We will train you and it helps give our players more of a “real game” experience. Even just umping 2-3 games this spring is a huge help. Learn more here.
Finally, please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more news and information. Do you love social media, taking photos and capturing memories? We are looking for a volunteer to oversee our social media for the season. Email [email protected] if interested.
Have a great season!
