APLL is a community activity for nearly 200 girls and boys and is run by parent volunteers. All managers, coaches and umpires are UNPAID volunteers, as are the members of the APLL Board of Directors. We are proud of our volunteers because service to community is an important example for our players, and this is why we automatically include in our default program prices a $25 discount to parents who select a volunteer role during registration. We are an inclusive league with an inclusive Board and we would welcome your input and participation. Some of us had little experience in baseball or in volunteer organizations prior to APLL, and have found it to be a wonderful community.  If you are unable to contribute your time and do not select a volunteer role during registration, you will be assessed a $25 non-volunteer fee per child to support our programs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What "Little League Age" is my child?  Your child's league age is the age they will be on August 31, 2024. 

https://www.littleleague.org/play-little-league/determine-league-age/ A player can play in APLL above his/her age level (if assessments confirm skills) but would require a special waiver to play below his/her age level, even if new to the game.

Where are games played? Depending on level, and on availability allocated by Fairfax County Parks and Schools, games and practices take place at the baseball diamonds at Bryant Alternative High School, Bucknell Elementary School, Bucknell Manor Park, Belle View Elementary School, Groveton Heights Park (tee-ball only), and at our interleague partners' (Woodlawn Little League McNaughton Fields Memorial Park @ 5320 Pole Rd. Alexandria, VA 22309 and Fort Belvoir Little League) fields.

When are games played?  Coach Pitch/Minors/Majors/Junior levels have 2 games per week and at least one practice per week, precise schedules are based on coaches' preferences and availability.  Expect practice time to increase with player age. Tee-ball teams will have one practice and one game per week, games are on Saturday mornings at Groveton Heights Park. Precise schedules are based on coaches' preferences and availability. 

What equipment is needed?  Tee-ball and up, every player needs only their own glove, but for hygiene's sake, we encourage the purchase of personal helmets rather than relying on the limited number of shared helmets provided to each team. Most players prefer to wear cleats and many bring their own bats as well (be sure to use a bat stamped USA Baseball). Game hats, jerseys, pants, belts and socks are included as uniforms, as part of the fee. Players should wear sweatpants or other long pants to practices, not shorts.

What are assessments? Assessments are not tryouts - all registrants will play in APLL.  Assessments in February are for coach pitch and minors players, to inform level recommendations and help guide team selection, which is intended to create parity within levels.

I think I live outside APLL's boundaries. How do I know and what happens if I do?  We are happy to welcome your family to APLL and t-ball and coach-pitch levels (because these programs are not offered at all local leagues) are open to you regardless of residency. If you are unsure and are seeking the closest league to your home or your player would be at coach pitch level or above, to verify eligibility based on residency, enter your address in this Little League tool. If you are indeed outside our area but have reason to strongly prefer APLL to your local league, you may be able to apply for a waiver at that league.  If you played in APLL last year and have moved outside the boundaries, you also may still be eligible to play in APLL. We will need to process a Little League waiver from with supporting documentation. You will need to bring, to registration, copies of 2 proof-of-residence documents (as defined above) and complete a waiver form at registration listing your old address within our boundaries and your new address. Contact us at [email protected] if you need guidance.

What can I do to help and what do volunteers need to do?
There are a number of important roles that must be continually refreshed as kids and their parents "graduate" out of the league. We are very inclusive and welcoming and we hope you'll be one of APLL's future volunteer leaders. Foremost, we always need coaches. But we also need folks for field maintenance, fundraising, grantwriting, community communications and a variety of other roles.

Parents, if you did not fill out a Little League Volunteer Form during registration and have decided to volunteer for APLL activities, please fill out the form.
