Helping young people develop character, discipline and teamwork while maintaining physical and emotional well being through Little League Baseball.  

KMLL Merging with SMLL

Kearny Mesa Little League has been faced with many concerns over the past few years. KMLL was the smallest league in our district. With small registration numbers, a low volunteer base and their baseball program limited, the board determined that it would be best for Kearny Mesa Little League to merge with Serra Mesa Little League. The biggest winners from this merger are the players and their families. There will be more teams in each age group and better opportunity for all kids to play with and against their friends at home games. Serra Mesa Little League has opened 

their arms and fields with love and have embraced the merge with KMLL.

Combining forces for the upcoming 2025 Spring season will benefit the entire Kearny Mesa community by providing greater opportunities with access to a larger volunteer support organization, more and stronger baseball programs and expanded development opportunities. There are many unknowns but mostly great opportunities with this merge. More field space, more families and best of all more baseball.

Field Locations: 2024 Fall Ball Field Locations

Our 2024 District 33 Fall Ball season is scheduled to run September 8th thru November 24th on Sunday.  Fall Ball is a time for training and development of players and adult volunteers; Players will learn valuable tools that are important as they move up in a division, are starting baseball for the first time, or want to hone their skills in preparation for the coming spring season. This is also a time to recruit and develop coaches and umpires. All players and coaches are expected to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere. We will not keep track of scores or maintaining standings in the Fall Ball. We are encouraging all managers to use this time to develop players in different field positions especially at pitcher and catcher. 

If you have any questions or concerns about the schedules, please refer to Kristen Frelke at [email protected]. If you have any questions in regard to the Fall Ball season, please reach out to me.
