What’s Happening Behind the Scenes Right Now

As we prepare for the 2026 season, a great deal of work is underway behind the scenes to ensure a smooth, enjoyable, and well-organized year of baseball.

Right now, league volunteers are:

  • Finalizing coaches and division leadership
  • Preparing player evaluations and team formation processes
  • Scheduling trainings, meetings, and equipment distribution
  • Coordinating safety, rules, and league operations

All of this preparation helps create a positive experience once teams are formed and games begin.

Thank you to the many volunteers helping make the season possible.

BALL Is More Than Baseball

It’s the moments between innings.

The conversations at the picnic table.

The friendships forming before players even step back onto the field.

At Berkeley Albany Little League, kids don’t just learn how to throw, hit, or catch — they grow. They build confidence, develop character, make lasting friendships, and have fun in a positive, supportive environment.

That’s the experience we work hard to create every season.

That’s the BALL way. 💚⚾
