Spring 2021 Registration is Open!

While 2020 has presented its share of challenges, it has been nothing but an honor to be on the field with you and for you through this strangest and toughest of years.

Whether this spring brings a return to normalcy or another change-up out of the zone, we are preparing to offer whatever we can as soon as we safely can.

Register now for baseball in 2021. You are family to us, so we can't wait to celebrate ALL the good that's to come... If "normal" has to wait, we'll still be here!
Annual Meeting Tonight

Each year, Arlington Little League elects a slate of officers, an Executive Board, and a Board of Directors. That meeting -- like all of our meetings -- is open to the public. Every interested parent and volunteer has a voice and a vote. That meeting happens tonight.

Tonight's meeting is virtual. The Annual Meeting agenda includes:
  • State of the League Address
  • Presentation of Slate(s) of Officers, Directors, and Members
  • Approval of Proposed Budget
  • Ratification of ALL Constitution
This meeting will be followed by the November ALL Board of Directors meeting. This month's agenda includes:
  • Winter Baseball Opportunities - What do we offer and when?
  • Fundraising Efforts
  • Website Improvements
  • Volunteer Recruitment Needs
  • Registration/Outreach Adjustments for "uncertain times"
Our families are crucially important to our ongoing efforts to provide for this community. Please join us and help us give back to a town and a game we love!

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! More than 800 ALL-Stars participated, and it was the honor of a lifetime to provide that experience to so many families. While it was worth every penny and every minute, 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?
  • Are you just done playing Fall Ball 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!
