Baseball Season Information
GFLL baseball teams will begin practices in late March. There will be no formal practices during FCPS Spring Break. Games will begin after FCPS Spring Break. The season will run until early/mid-June. There are no games Memorial Day weekend. In the Spring season, there is an end of season tournament consisting of playoffs and a championship for AA, AAA and Majors divisions. Scores and standings are maintained throughout the season for these divisions. AA, AAA and Majors teams practice one night per week and play two games (generally one weeknight and one Saturday), while Coach Pitch and Tee Ball teams practice one weeknight and play games on Saturdays only. In the Spring season, AA, AAA and Majors teams will make up rained out games which will be scheduled on Sundays or other days during the week to ensure that the minimum number of games is completed per Little League International rules.
Softball Season Information
GFLL softball teams in the Coach Pitch, AA, AAA and Majors divisions play games against teams from McLean Little League. Games are typically played from late March until early June. Majors and AAA games are typically on Mondays and Fridays. AA games are typically on Monday or Friday with a weekend game, too. Game days for Coach Pitch are still TBD. All game days are subject to change. There is the possibility of some Sunday games based on limited field availability to ensure games are well spaced out, both physically and time-wise. (If any of your players have religious concerns about Sunday games, please let us know ([email protected]).)
