Can I choose my coach?
You can request a coach. NLL will try to accommodate requests, however, we can make no guarantee.
How long does the season last?
The Spring Season goes from late April to mid-June. Immediately following is All-Star Play.
The Fall Season runs from September to the end of October.
When are practices and games?
Practice and game schedules are created prior to opening day and will be posted once complete. Typically, TeeBall has one practice and one game per week, while all other divisions may have 2 practices and one game, or may trade a practice day for an additional game. This will vary by both age group and coach.
Where are practices and games held?
In previous years, some teams have held practices at outside facilities. However, with the restructuring of our program, ALL practices will be held at NLL. Typically, TeeBall and Coach Pitch Games are held solely at NLL, while the older divisions may play at other rec fields in District 11.
What towns are included in District 11?
District 11 consists of the following towns:
Willimantic
Norwich
Preston
Jewett City (Griswold)
Plainfield
Columbia
Lebanon (Tri-Town)
Coventry
Sprague / Franklin / Canterbury (often combined as SFC)
Scotland
Can I help out on the field?
We love volunteers! However, to be inside the dugout or on the field, you must have a cleared background check on file with the league. To get started, sign up as a volunteer on your account page.
I am coaching/assistant coaching. Do I get my volunteer fee back?
We appreciate all of our coaches! Without you, our kids wouldn't have these opportunities to play ball, build friendships, and learn life lessons. In previous years, we have had a "Volunteer Fee," but this has been replaced with the "Concession Stand Fee" this year, and only hours working in the concession stand make one eligible for this rebate. For more details, please see our Concessions Section on the Volunteers Tab.
Is the Concession Stand open?
Yes! The concession stand is open for all scheduled games. We offer a mix of ballpark classics (hot dogs, nachos, hamburgers) and a large variety of snacks and drinks. We are always looking for help with concessions! See the volunteers tab for more details.
Do you accept credit cards?
We accept cash, most major credit cards, and mobile payments (Apple Pay/Google Pay).
Are there public restrooms?
Permanent restrooms are located in the central building near the concession stand. They are maintained daily by our volunteers. There is also a porta-potty located by the large shed near the Tee Ball field.
Are dogs allowed?
While we love our furry fans, league policy strictly prohibits dogs inside the fenced field areas and spectator stands for the safety of the players. Well-behaved leashed dogs are welcome in the outer perimeter park areas.
