Stanwood-Camano Little League Fall Ball Program

Stanwood-Camano Little League offers Fall Ball for players who have played in the Rookies division or higher. Fall Ball practices typically begin in mid-August, and the season runs through early October, with schedules coordinated by District 1.

Fall Ball is an instructional season focused on developing core fundamentals, preparing players for the next level of play, and encouraging participation in a variety of positions. The emphasis is on skill-building and learning—not competition. Many participants also play other sports in the fall (such as soccer or football), and Fall Ball is designed to accommodate that flexibility.

Eligibility:
Fall Ball is open to players who were League Age 7–15 during the most recent spring season. Unfortunately, we are unable to make exceptions for players outside of this age range due to District 1 guidelines.

Please note:
Stanwood-Camano Little League does not control the Fall Ball game schedule, which is managed entirely by District 1. Therefore, we cannot provide specific information regarding game days, times, or locations in advance.
