FALL BALL! Registration Opens Saturday, 8/20!

Registration for Fall Ball is now open! Follow the Registration link at the top of the webpage to register.

Fall Ball for Land Park Pacific Little League has two components.
One is just “Sandlot” games on Sundays. Games will begin on or about Sept. 25 and go through Oct. 30. We will play games amongst our teams as well as games against Pocket and other leagues, as scheduling permits.

The other is the Sandlot games AND some basic skills training geared towards those kids moving up a division. The Sandlot games will have almost unlimited space. However, the skills training will have limited availability so those who sign up first will be given priority. We will attempt to accommodate those who land on the waitlist but cannot guarantee anything once the space is full. Cost is $70 for AA and $85 for AAA and Majors.

The Skills Training will be as follows:

AA (kids who are 6 or 7 years old on August 31, 2022, and plan on playing in the AA Division next year)
Instruction at McClatchy High School for batting and pitching on Thursdays from 5pm to 645pm, beginning Sept. 15, ending Oct. 6. The clinic will help kids learn sound fundamental techniques for pitching and hitting so that their first year of AA will be a good one and that they carry good habits forward. Cost $125.

AAA (kids who are 8 or 9 on August 31, 2022)
Instruction will take place on Dooley Field #2 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5pm to 7pm, beginning Sept. 12, ending Oct. 5. Training will be provided by McClatchy baseball coaches and former LPPLL players now playing for McClatchy and will cover a wide range of drills to improve defensive and offensive skills to ensure a solid base of skills for the spring baseball season. Cost $175.

Majors (kids who are 10 or 11 on August 31, 2022)
Instruction will take place on Dooley Field #1 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5pm to 7pm, beginning Sept. 12, ending Oct. 5. Training will be provided by McClatchy baseball head coach Mike de Necochea and his staff, and will cover a wide range of drills to improve defensive and offensive mechanics to prepare kids for the spring baseball season. Cost $175.

Skills training will include the ability to play in the Sandlot games, and cannot be separated out from them. The Skills Training fees provide a good source of funding for the McClatchy Baseball program so there are no multiple child discounts. If you have any questions, or want to manage a Sandlot team, please email our Fall Ball Coordinator, Kai Hermann, at FallBall@LPPLL.com

Thank you!
