Fairfield American Little League Registration Open Now

Fairfield American Little League, home of the 2017 New England Regional Champions, is now registering players for our Spring 2018 season!

Thanks to the incredible effort from the Fairfield American Little League 12 year-old district team players, coaches and families, the league ended its 2017 season in Williamsport, PA during the last week of August.

And this month marks the beginning of the 2018 season. And the start is far away from the dog days of summer and Howard J. Lamade Stadium – it begins by registering online while managing school snow days!

If your child attends a private school, their eligibility is determined by the public elementary school associated with your street address. If your family lives outside our district but attends a school (public or private) within our district (ex. St Thomas), they are also eligible to play with Fairfield American.

There are a total of 9 divisions this spring in F.A.L.L. which means that from Future Stars all the way up to Intermediate 50/70, there is an opportunity for all kids to play baseball this season!

Our Future Stars division is for 5 year old players and features a 60 minute instructional program (skills drills, mini-competitions) each week on Sunday starting in late April for 8 weeks.

Our T-Ball division is for 6 year old players and features a 90 minute practice/game each week on Saturday starting in late April for 8 weeks.

Players move to coach pitch for Junior Cappy (7 year old players) and Senior Cappy (8 year old players). Both divisions feature an hour or so of practice followed by a modified game.

The rest of our divisions are player pitch, competitive games. These divisions are AA (9 and 10 year olds), AAA (10 - 12 year olds), Majors (11 and 12 year olds), and Intermediate 50/70 (12 and 13 year olds).

We are also proud to host an official Little League Challenger Program. The Challenger division is Little League’s adaptive baseball program for individuals with physical and intellectual challenges. Any individual between the ages of 4 and 18 (or up to 22 years old if they are still enrolled in school) with a physical or intellectual challenge is welcome to participate.
