SLL emphasizes the importance of having a coaching clinics and player pre-season programs to help players develop both their physical and mental skillset and encourage every parent, head coach, assistant coach, or parent volunteer to attend at least one.   Below is the Baseball & Softball schedule with our coaching partner organizations along with the SLL Mandatory Safety Training for coaches only.

It’s the goal of Sammamish Little League to build into its athletes the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage, and respect for authority and to help make them good citizens. The Sammamish Little League bylaws explicitly states that the goals of attaining exceptional athletic skills and winning are secondary to the goal of molding future citizens.

We will have the following offers this winter in prep for the 2021 spring season:
