Local Youth Organizations

Blaine Area Little League (B.A.L.L.) serves students within the Spring Lake Park High School and Blaine High School boundaries. More than 1,000 kids age 4-12 participate in competitive league play each season. Registrations open in January and the season typically runs May through July (ending earlier for younger ages). It's not unusual for kids to start as pre-schoolers and play with B.A.L.L. into middle school. Friendships, teamwork and learning to love baseball are core principles of B.A.L.L. Ages 4-12 are welcome, and everyone makes a team.
