APLL is a community activity for 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 2games per week and at least 1 practice per week. Precise schedules are based on coaches' preferences and availability. Expect practice time to increase with player age. Tee-ball teams have one practice and one game per week, all games are played 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.
