Fall Ball League Overview

The Menlo Atherton Little League (MA-LL) Fall Ball program (“Fall Ball”) is a developmental league that provides youth from 8-11 years old an opportunity to play baseball in an organized fashion during the fall season. In Fall 2010, MA-LL will operate two Fall Ball leagues: one at the Major’s level and one at the AAA level. The goal is to provide a fun experience for the players, help them develop and refine their baseball skills, and to encourage their enjoyment for the game.

Registration is now open and will run through August 31, 2010. Registration Fees for Fall Ball are $100 per player which includes a uniform jersey, cap and field use.

Parent’s Pledge

M-A Little League believes in balancing winning with learning and sportsmanship. We strive to build a league culture where kids can play hard, learn and have fun without the "win at all costs" pressures that can negatively affect youth sports. In order to set a good example for the players, we require parents to take a pledge of sportsmanship acknowledging basic expectations for behavior. This pledge is included in our Online Registration process.

Sponsors and Donations

M-A Little League supports a rich array of programs to enhance the baseball experience for our players, parents and coaches. In addition to new programs for Player and Coach Development (see website for details), MA Little League is actively involved in the construction and upgrade of our playing fields.
