Salem Little League Softball and Baseball

Registration for fall ball is essentially closed, and the divisions open below are those that have spots available.  Age 7-8 Baseball is (over) full, and Age 7-10 Softball is full.

Registration for Spring 2026 in early October- and the earlier you sign up the more you save.

If you have questions regarding registration, please contact our League Player Agent, Ed Colbert, at [email protected]

Volunteers have been the lifeblood of Little League since its inception, and millions of  children each year rely on the selfless dedication of adult volunteers to donate their time and talents to bring the Little League experience to their hometown.

Simply put- we don't have enough volunteers- causing the player experience to suffer and the league to pay outside vendors for necessary services, which in turn causes participation fees to increase.  Please consider stepping up and signing up to volunteer while you register your child.  We NEED YOU.  

It’s important to remember that all Little League volunteer positions are  annual positions, and need to be reapproved, pending a background check, each year.

Registration Listing

2025 Fall Ball

Details:
  • We will have interleague for 9-11 year old division and a 7-8 year old division (age as defined by Little League.) Our 12-year-olds from Spring 2025 will need to sign up for fall baseball with Babe Ruth, or AAU, on the big diamond.
  • These are PLAYER PITCH divisions, open to those players who played Minor or Majors in the Spring of 2025, or a 7-year-old intending to move up in the Spring to player pitch.
  • This is not an all-star tournament; all abilities are welcome. Players must meet age and residency requirements.
  • We are told it will start late August and run through Mid-October.
  • For 7-8 and 9-11 year old divisions, Salem entries will play other District 16 leagues (Peabody, Lynnfield, Saugus, Swampscott, Nahant, etc.) The Coach pitch division will mainly stay in-town, perhaps travel to Peabody.
  • Salem Little League will run their registration for this at cost, $92.00 per player for ages 9+.
PLEASE NOTE - THE AGE 7-8 DIVISION IS OVERFULL AND WON'T BE ACCEPTING OTHER REGISTRATIONS, UNFORTUNATELY. Age 7-10 Softball is also full. TEE BALL IS NOW FULL AS OF 9/4
AS of 9/4/25 at 4:30 PM- there are only 2 Age 9-11 baseball openings, and no openings anywhere else. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Because this program involves dozens of other leagues, we have a VERY SHORT WINDOW to enter teams. We must tell District 16 how many teams we will have soon. Registration will open soon on our website and will close on 8/20 at noon. We need team managers, team coaches to step up ASAP.

2026 Tee Ball

Often a family’s first introduction to Little League®, providing a Tee Ball experience that is grounded in fun, fitness, and fundamentals, is key to growing a child’s love for the game.
This Tee Ball Program (Not Rookie/Intro to Tee Ball) is for all returning 5-year-olds (Who played as a 4-year-old) and 6-year-olds who choose to remain in Tee Ball and not move up to Coach Pitch baseball.
6-year-olds can move up to the Farm/Coach Pitch division, but only after having played at least one year of tee ball previously.
While LL allows new 7-year-olds to play tee ball, Salem LL decides to have all 7-year-olds in the Farm—Coach Pitch division unless an exception is granted.

2026 Softball

All 7-year-olds will be automatically assigned to the Coach Pitch/Farm division. In the Coach pitch division, the season continuously touts the importance of team-building and chemistry, while focusing on fundamentals. The Coach pitch division of Little League is a fun activity that has as its prime objective nurturing and growing well-rounded and productive people with softball fundamentals, not developing elite ballplayers.

All 8-11-year-olds will be evaluated for placement.
For the most part:
  • 8-year-olds: highly skilled 8s will be placed in the minors based on the numbers needed. All others will remain in Farm/Coach Pitch division.
  • 9-year-olds: It is the expectation that there will be no 9s in Farm, unless there is a safety reason for it or if a new player can really use time in Farm/Coach pitch. The vast majority of 9-year-olds will be placed in the Minors.
  • 10-year-olds: Highly skilled 10-year-olds may be drafted into the majors by a major league manager. Should a 10-year-old not be drafted, they will be placed in the minors.
  • 11-year-olds: 95% of 11-year-olds will be drafted into the majors by a major league manager. Only if an 11-year-old has low skill levels where safety is an issue will they be placed in the minors. 11-year-olds who sign up too late to be drafted will be placed in the minors.

12-year-olds: All 12-year-olds will be evaluated and drafted to the major league division, or in rare cases, the Junior/Senior division, if they sign up and attend evaluations before teams are selected. 12-year-olds who are not signed up in time to be drafted (mid-March) will not be able to participate for the season unless a player is out for the season, due to resignation, illness, or injury.

13-16 year olds - will be placed in Junior/Senior Softball.
