Baseball Registration - 2026

2026 Shoreline Little League Baseball Registration Overview

Welcome to the 2026 Shoreline Little League baseball season! Below is an overview of registration details, new divisions, important dates, and other key information to help prepare for the upcoming season.

Key Updates for 2026

Assessments: For 2025, assessments will be held by age and division. Players interested in specific divisions (e.g., Majors) should assess accordingly. Players requesting to play “up” a division may need to attend multiple assessments based on age and division preferences. Assessment dates are 1/31 and 2/1, with makeup sessions on 2/8 and/or 2/9.
Registration by Division: Please register players in the division appropriate for their age. If you intend for an 8 or 9-year-old to play in a competitive division, select a drafted division. Players registered in AA or below will not participate in assessments or be considered for Coast, AAA, or Majors divisions.
Rapid Baseball: We saw great success with Rapid Baseball last year so Shoreline Little League will continue operating Rapid Baseball in the AA divisions and also adding to the A divisions in 2026. These games create more opportunities for kids to get more at bats and more defensive reps with more focused training on pitching. Read more about Rapid Baseball here.

Practice & Game Scheduling

The season begins with practices scheduled three times per week, which will shift to games as the season progresses (2–3 times per week). Practice and game scheduling will depend on coach and field availability; final schedules will be confirmed after registration closes and teams are formed.

Requests for Coaches and Teammates

We do our best to honor teammate and coach requests for lower divisions (A, AA, and Coast). However, to ensure fair play, some requests may not be fulfilled. Requests are not allowed for AAA and higher divisions. Requests can be made in the registration forms.

Field Locations

Games for A, AA, Coast, and AAA teams will be held within Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.
Majors and higher divisions will play in the greater Seattle Metro area, primarily in Shoreline and North Seattle.

Optional Equipment: Helmet, bat, and ball (league equipment is available if you prefer not to purchase).
