Baseball and Softball Registration Open! General Membership Meeting at New Helvetia on November 10!

Registration for baseball and softball has opened! Please follow the registration link at the top of this page to get to our registration site.

Prices are going up just a little this year (approximately 5% from 2022). This increase helps the league offset increasing prices for things like equipment, uniforms, field maintenance, etc. That said, we’re also doubling the sibling discount for families with more than one child in the league (either baseball OR softball). Below is the price breakdown you can expect for registration:

Baseball T-Ball: $105
Baseball Rookie & AA: $160
Baseball AAA, Majors, Juniors: $240
Baseball family volunteer fee: $100 per family (refundable w/ 8 volunteer hours)
Softball Minors (ages 7,8,9, or 10): $150
Softball Majors (ages 10, 11, or 12): $200
Softball family volunteer fee: $50 per family (refundable w/ 8 volunteer hours)
Sibling discount: $50 for each additional child

General Membership Meeting

Every player and parent who is part of LPPLL is considered a member. We are having an Open House style general membership meeting – as is required by our organization’s constitution – coming up on November 10 at 7pm at New Helvetia. We did this last year, and for those of you who came, you know it was a good time. For the most part, it’s a fun social gathering where we can get together with familiar faces normally seen at Dooley and in and around Land Park. At approximately 7:45pm, LPPLL President Carolyn Becker will speak about the upcoming season, including an introduction of our Board of Directors as well as a few important votes that all members can weigh in on. We don’t expect the program to be long – maybe 30 mins.

FALL BALL! Registration Opens Saturday, 8/20!

Registration for Fall Ball is now open! Follow the Registration link at the top of the webpage to register.

Fall Ball for Land Park Pacific Little League has two components.
One is just “Sandlot” games on Sundays. Games will begin on or about Sept. 25 and go through Oct. 30. We will play games amongst our teams as well as games against Pocket and other leagues, as scheduling permits.

The other is the Sandlot games AND some basic skills training geared towards those kids moving up a division. The Sandlot games will have almost unlimited space. However, the skills training will have limited availability so those who sign up first will be given priority. We will attempt to accommodate those who land on the waitlist but cannot guarantee anything once the space is full. Cost is $70 for AA and $85 for AAA and Majors.

The Skills Training will be as follows:

AA (kids who are 6 or 7 years old on August 31, 2022, and plan on playing in the AA Division next year)
Instruction at McClatchy High School for batting and pitching on Thursdays from 5pm to 645pm, beginning Sept. 15, ending Oct. 6. The clinic will help kids learn sound fundamental techniques for pitching and hitting so that their first year of AA will be a good one and that they carry good habits forward. Cost $125.

AAA (kids who are 8 or 9 on August 31, 2022)
Instruction will take place on Dooley Field #2 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5pm to 7pm, beginning Sept. 12, ending Oct. 5. Training will be provided by McClatchy baseball coaches and former LPPLL players now playing for McClatchy and will cover a wide range of drills to improve defensive and offensive skills to ensure a solid base of skills for the spring baseball season. Cost $175.

Majors (kids who are 10 or 11 on August 31, 2022)
Instruction will take place on Dooley Field #1 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5pm to 7pm, beginning Sept. 12, ending Oct. 5. Training will be provided by McClatchy baseball head coach Mike de Necochea and his staff, and will cover a wide range of drills to improve defensive and offensive mechanics to prepare kids for the spring baseball season. Cost $175.

Skills training will include the ability to play in the Sandlot games, and cannot be separated out from them. The Skills Training fees provide a good source of funding for the McClatchy Baseball program so there are no multiple child discounts. If you have any questions, or want to manage a Sandlot team, please email our Fall Ball Coordinator, Kai Hermann, at FallBall@LPPLL.com

Thank you!
