Don't put away those cleats just yet!
Mukilteo Little League is again partnering with our friends from Pacific Little League to offer a fun Summer Baseball and Softball program. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the games are competitive but casual. Mukilteo Little League Summer Ball is all about having fun! Great weather (hopefully), the chance to get out on the field with your friends and just play some ball. And it's a terrific way for younger players to get some valuable experience in preparation for next season, all while having a blast!
Who can play Summer Ball? Summer Baseball is for baseball players ages 9-12. Summer Softball is for softball players ages 7-12.
Are there "buddy requests?" Can I play with my friends? Yes!! Summer Ball does not use a player draft system. We encourage players to sign up with their friends who they may not have had the opportunity to play with during the regular season. And you do not have to be a MLL player or even live in the Mukilteo School District to play Summer Ball, so invite new friends to play too!
How much does it cost? Summer Baseball registration is $65 per player (15 games). Summer Softball registration is $50 (10 games).
How do I register? Register online at www.MukilteoLittleLeague.com.

When and where are games played? Games start between 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Games are played at the Mukilteo Little League Complex and Lynndale Park in Lynnwood.
How many games are played? Summer Baseball teams are scheduled to play 15 games. Summer Softball teams are scheduled to play 10 games.
How many players are on a team? Summer Ball teams are made up of 14 players in order to accommodate absence due to busy family summer schedules.
What rules are enforced, especially in regards to pitching? Summer Baseball uses the standard Minors division rulebook. All pitchers are limited to a maximum of two innings per week. There is limited pitching by 12-year-old players.
Who do I contact with questions? E-mail Mike Szoke at maszoke@comcast.net with any questions, and we'll see you out at the ballpark this summer!
We're also looking for a volunteer to help run a BBQ during Summer Ball! If interested, please let us know at info@mukilteolittleleague.com. With your help we can make this a lot of fun for the kids!
