2023 Fall Ball Season

Schedules: 2023 Fall Ball Posted Schedules
Rules: 2023 Fall Ball Rules
Field Locations: 2023 Fall Ball Field Locations

Our 2023 District 33 Fall Ball season is scheduled to run September 10th thru November 19th 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.  A huge "Thank You" goes out to Van Wong (District Scheduler), Austin Hill (LMNLL) and Jose Lopez (SLL) for working with all the Fall Ball leagues in creating this year's game schedules for all divisions.  If you have any questions about the schedules, please refer to Van Wong  at [email protected]If you have any questions in regard to the Fall Ball season, please reach out to me.

Little League Diamond Leader Training Program

Little League® offers numerous training opportunities to equip volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to positively impact the youth of their community through the Little League program. This year, Little League® has come up with a new program called: Little League Diamond Leader Training Program. This program focuses on ensuring children have a positive, well-rounded experience on and off the field, this program is a FREE educational resource that provides coaches with an understanding of the impact that mental, social, and emotional well-being has in youth sports through detailed information, interactive scenarios, and a variety of additional resources.

As a condition of eligibility for selection as a tournament team manager/coach, the regular season manager/coach must have also completed the Little League Diamond Leader Training Program. This program must be completed prior to the individual being named a tournament team manager/coach and before participating in any practices or games. Tournament Team managers/coaches who have completed the program should be prepared to produce the Little League Diamond Leader completion certificate if requested by the District Administrator/Tournament Director.

We are encouraging ALL of our Managers and Coaches in District 33 to complete this course prior to tournament time.  Even though you are not planning on being eligible for a tournament team, the training is important for your development as a team Manager and Coach. We will be checking for Diamond Leader completion certificates at the beginning of the All-Star Season. Don't wait, take the course today.
