Dr. Phillips Little League: FAQ

No. Although we do have a good working relationship with the Dr. Phillips YMCA and share a parking lot, we are a separate entity.

What does Dr. Phillips Little League Offer?

 We offer baseball for boys and girls, age 6 - 16. We also offer softball for girls age 8 - 16. We sometimes offer Big League Baseball for boys age 17 - 18. The majority of our league participation is in baseball. Girls’ softball is relatively new, but is growing in popularity. We need volunteers to help us grow our girls softball program. This is your chance! What are you waiting for, get in the game! 

When does the season start?

Dr. Phillips Little League offers two seasons of baseball and softball, one in the spring and one in the fall. Registration for the spring season begins in mid-January, with tryouts the end of January, teams drafted around the first of February, then opening ceremonies around the first of March. The season is 10 weeks long, ending around mid- to late-May. Winning teams in each division will continue in a "Top Team" tournament, which can extend the spring season for some teams into June. The fall season begins with registration in mid-August, right around when school starts. Tryouts are toward the end of August, with teams drafted by the first of September. Opening ceremonies are mid-September. The season usually wraps up just before Thanksgiving. Rain delays and other unforeseen circumstances can extend the season a week or so after Thanksgiving. The dates for girls' softball may vary slightly from baseball.

Big League, when it is offered, is designed to work around High School Baseball. It usually only lasts a couple months, starting in April or May. Check the calendar on our web site for specific dates.

Players can sign up after a season has started, if room is available.
