The Season
Most leagues in District 13 start their seasons around the first April for regular play. March, some of February is usually used for practice and getting the teams organized. Each team has it’s own schedule. The District goal is to get 15-20 games per team in Majors each season, and at least 12 for Minors. Farm and T-Ball will have somewhat less usually. T-Ball typicall starts later in the year too so the “littles” don’t have to play too much in the cold and rain of the earlier part of the season. Your league has fields, equipment, and hopefully YOU to help volunteer to execute the season.
Our “regular season” officially ends at the start of the District All-Star Tournament. This year it’s currently set during the last week of June, BUT, we are talking about putting some of it later in the first part of July. More on that later if it develops. District 13 allows for “special games” in a season which can include:
- Special “Little League” mid-season tournaments
- Games with other districts and other leagues
- Games with baseball programs outside of Little League
Special game waivers are issued by the District Administrator and in some cases have to be approved by Western Region or Williamsport (LL HQ) as they may require special insurance. Little League does allow traveling to other parts of the state to play other Little League Teams, and you can play Little League teams in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Canada as examples of where Little League teams from Eastern WA have played besides teams in their own league.
