Summer Baseball
2024 Summer Baseball & Softball programs!
Overview
Summer ball is a fun and relaxed summer program that lets kids take advantage of nicer weather and continue playing the game they love during summer. For all of our summer programs the emphasis is all about HAVING FUN.
Registration is open to Little League players who are age-eligible for the programs we offer – Little League boundaries are not enforced during summer ball, so this is a great opportunity to invite your friend from Issaquah, Eastlake, Issaquah or other local Little Leagues to play together.
The summer baseball season will run during the month of July (no games July 4th). Teams will play 8 evening games over a four-week season. The schedule has not yet been set, but in past years, Majors and Rookie teams have played on Mon and Wed evenings and Coast teams have played Tues and Thurs evenings.
Summer softball also plays twice a week, typically on Thursday and Saturday morning.

*Little League, Inc. defines league age for baseball based on a child's birthday. See the 2024-baseball-age-chart to determine your child's league age.
Level of play
League Age requirements are in effect for Summer programs. The table above shows which ages will play for which teams. (Please note that the Rookie level for Summer is coach pitch.) There is some overlap in the age ranges between Summer Majors and Summer Coast. When you register, you will have the option of choosing between those two programs. Feel free to choose the program you think will provide the best experience for your child. Some 10-year-olds who played Coast during the season will enjoy having the Majors experience during Summer Baseball; others will thrive more playing Coast.
If you would like to request permission for your child to play up one level, please do so during registration using a Special Request. All requests are reviewed and approved or denied by the Player Agent.
Registration
Registration fees are shown above. Fees cover the player’s uniform (shirt and cap), field rental fees, umpires, and team equipment.
Buddy Requests - We encourage buddy requests, especially for Summer ball. Please indicate the buddy request under Special Request in registrations for both players.

Summer Softball Divisions
SLL is happy to announce that AA Summer Softball is back for another season. The league is open for all spring players in AA and A graduating to AAA in 2020. Summer softball is a game-heavy schedule, similar to baseball.
Games will be played at local fields. This is a fun and relaxed way for our girls to continue developing as softball players and to build the SLL softball community. Registration is $50 which includes a visor and t-shirt.
If you have any questions please reach out to Karl Bowman at kbowman@uscutter.com.
