Fall Ball is a ~10 week program beginning in early September and ending before Thanksgiving. Registration opens May 15th with discounted Early Bird pricing and closes when teams are full or when the season has begun, whichever occurs earlier.
Fall Ball is primarily focused on instruction and player development. Games are not scored and there are no season standings. Teams practice 1-2 times during the week, and play 1 game per week typically on SUNDAYS, in an effort to avoid conflict with other sports traditionally played on Saturdays in the fall. Instruction is stressed over gameplay and some of the formality of the Spring Season. Team photos, trophies, and tournaments are not included to keep the fees low.
Starting Fall 2024, those players who are under the league age of 8 and live/attend school outside of the Lake Forest Little League boundaries may play with LFLL for an additional $150 non resident fee, which will be assessed after online registration and residency/school verification has been completed. Please also note, the School Enrollment Form is ONLY required for those families who do not live within LF boundaries or cannot produce the 3 forms of residency verification documents. If you do not fall within those categories, please ignore the note at registration that says "School Verification is required"
Divisions of Play: Descriptions of each division of play can be found HERE. Players may register for and play in any division for which they meet the age requirements. There are no Player Evaluations or draft process for Fall Ball.
