Fall 2024 Season:

  • Early-bird registration ends: August 21 (late fees begin August 22)

  • Registrations closes: August 28

  • Season dates: September 9 - November 3

Baseball

Baseball players can sign up for Juniors, Majors, Triple A, Double A, or Single A baseball (the division they qualify for is primarily based on age). Baseball is co-ed and open to all players who will turn 5 on or before August 31, 2024. Click here for the Little League 2024 age chart. 

Softball

The CHLL softball division’s goal is to develop fundamental and advanced softball skills through positive teaching, emphasis on continuous improvement, and teamwork. Softball is organized similarly to the baseball divisions with some flexibility for those players coming to the game with baseball or softball experience. We are including girls ages 5-14 in the league this year with placement across the divisions determined by player ability and previous experience. Because we historically have a limited number of in-house teams in softball, CHLL will partner with other leagues around the city and Northern Virginia to develop game schedules. This may mean that travel off the Hill is necessary for you and your player. Softball League Age is determined by your player's age as of December 31, 2023. Please see this chart for more details.

Late surcharges: To assist with our planning process and because we may need to cap player registrations (pending field availability), we ask that you register early. A $25 late surcharge will be applied for all baseball and softball registrations beginning August 22.  

Waitlist: Please register as soon as possible to avoid being waitlisted as a large number of kids are expected to play this fall. Baseball and softball players will be moved to the waitlist if the league reaches capacity.

Challenger

Please read carefully:  Challenger is our free youth baseball program for players with specific physical or mental needs who wish to participate in the wonderful game of baseball.  If your child is registered for our other baseball or softball programs and does not have special needs, he/she should not be registered for Challenger.

The rules and the spirit of our Challenger program are designed to spur friendly competition and instill the love of baseball. Challenger does not have a registration fee to participate.

 Challenger players are teamed with community volunteers and players from our Majors Division, who serve as “buddies” and help with fielding and hitting. The structure of each session will include a warm up, a scrimmage/game, and then a cool down, but with skill development embedded into the game/scrimmage structure. 

Registration is now closed. Come back in December to register for the Spring 2025 season!
