Welcome to a new year of Reading Little League Baseball! Although it is February, our preparation for the new season is underway. Over the last few weeks, we have been working on league placement and team selection, and we plan to announce teams by the end of next week. After that time, your coach will reach out to you with an introductory email.

As we get closer to the season, additional details including practice and game schedules will be released. A general timeline for the season can be found below, as well as an overview on league and team creation. We look forward to a great Spring season!

Spring Baseball Timeline

The start of our season is contingent on the town of Reading granting access to the fields based on weather and conditions. If the fields are not ready for use, early practices will be canceled.

• April 1st – Outdoor practices for all leagues (weather and fields permitting)
• April 23rd and 24th - First games for all leagues
• June 11th - Playoffs begin
• June 18th and 19th - Championship Games

Summer Baseball Timeline

Reading Little League offers many opportunities for Summer play regardless of skill level.

Those contemplating playing on our highly competitive travel baseball teams (ages 9-12), often ask about schedules so they can plan Summer vacations. Our best estimate is that these teams will play from June 21 to August 15, with practices or games almost every day.

Please plan vacation schedules accordingly if you believe your child may make a District or Baystate roster as teams may be penalized if rostered players are not present at games. The league will request vacation schedules before making roster decisions.
