Happy Holidays & New Year's Resolutions

2020 was a year full of challenges, like pulling the infield in with the bases loaded and nobody out in the late innings of a tight game.

We are fighting through a difficult situation together. We hope that you've been able to enjoy our summer season, our fall season, our winter season (so far), or any combination of the above! We mean it when we say that it has been the honor of a lifetime to try to be there for you and play ball with you -- even when simple tasks seem impossible.

We hope you feel it's been safe, and that you've stayed safe through the holidays that ended the year. We've taken extraordinary care to do an important thing and do it well for kids we love and families we love and a game we love. Sincerely, we hope we've proven that we are both dedicated to and up to the task of providing a safe outlet for ALL children.


And so, our 2021 New Year's Resolution is this:
  • If everything stays the same for the foreseeable future, we will continue to provide the best and safest experience we can possibly provide.
    • Free baseball from the day you register until the season begins.
    • A full Spring season to whatever extent Virginia's laws allow.
    • Safety guidelines and protocols will remain in place.
    • Sanitizer, disinfectant, masks, etc. will be provided for ALL teams as long as necessary.
  • If things get harder before they get better, we won't stop providing every ounce of support -- baseball or otherwise -- that we can offer to our families.
  • If life somehow returns to normal during our season, we'll throw a party for Arlington families the likes of which no ballpark in Arlington has ever seen.
Baseball teaches us how to keep our cool and get out of jams, even when it seems impossible. Stay alert and stay ready. We've got this. Together.
Register for Spring 2021 this Week for our Early Bird Discount!

As soon as you register, you gain access to free baseball activities taking place every day. That's free baseball for every participant throughout January and February, with a full and safe season that we hope can begin in March. Register now for baseball in 2021.

We are ready for more scholarship requests than normal this year. Cost has never been and never will be a barrier to participation in Arlington Little League baseball. If you need financial assistance, all you need to do is ask.


It's never been more clear that baseball is a luxury. Food and rent and bills are required. Baseball may be a necessity for some of us, but it won't ever cost more than you can pay.
Plow Ahead with Winter Baseball

Arlington Little League offers free baseball opportunities to all of our registrants at every level throughout the winter. See below for schedules and click on the time to register for clinics and scrimmages. Come out and play ball with us!


Please encourage your friends and neighbors to sign up for the spring season so they can get outside and exercise and socialize with us as soon as this afternoon.

Give Back to ALL

As part of the Arlington Little League family, you've no doubt noticed that we never beg for money -- no bake sales, no magazine subscriptions, no raffle tickets -- but this year has presented challenges that you can help us solve.

We launched this summer's season with extraordinary care and extensive precautions because we know our children need to socialize and play. Without knowing how long it would last or how much fun it could be, we knew we couldn't charge for registration.

Summer 2020 was a huge success, and so was Fall! More than 1,500 ALL-Stars played, and it was such an honor to provide that experience to so many families. It was worth every penny and every minute, but it was expensive. On top of normal costs, we provided safety gear and extra equipment for every team. We did not apply spring registration fees to the summer season, and so now we face a shortfall of nearly $75,000!
  • Did you love our Summer Season?
  • Were you able to enjoy Spring practices before we had to shut down?
  • Did you benefit from free Winter Workouts a year ago?
  • Were you able to enjoy Fall Ball?
  • Are you enjoying Winter Snowlot Baseball now?
Please make a donation to Arlington Little League! We expect to see an increase in scholarship requests in 2021, with generosity from our sponsors becoming tougher, and we expect our vendors' costs to go up as well. Affordable baseball for ALL families is always our priority; we need your help to maintain that reality!
