SEASONS
| Spring Season (Main) | November - Early January | Feb - June |
Spring Season
Spring Season is the main season and can also be referred to as the regular season. We have several events planned throughout the season, including fundraising events and Opening Day Ceremonies.
At the conclusion of the regular season, eligible divisions will get an opportunity to play in the post season Tournament of Champions (aka T.O.C.). Each league determines their TOC winners who then are sent on to compete in the District 33 Tournament of Champions. This is the tournament that crowns the best team in District 33.
All Stars are formed in the post season. For each eligible division, players that have exhibited exceptional play during the season are selected to get a chance to compete in the Little League All Star tournaments. Each successive tournament win will lead the team closer to Williamsburg for a chance to play in the Little League World Series!!
Fall Season
Fall season is a developmental league that gives our players an opportunity to enhance their skills. The season includes practices and inter-league games.
One unique aspect of Fall Season is that all the games are inter-league games. Unlike Spring Season, interleague gives our players a chance to play against other teams around the District, not only on our fields but other league fields as well.
With the focus on development, Fall Season does not have any All Stars or tournament games. But don't worry, most coaches still have a team party at the end of the year!
