Little League’s second season gives leagues a great opportunity to lengthen their season and provide additional training and development opportunities to players of all ages. A second season program may be operated any time after the conclusion of the regular season and continue into early winter. Leagues may choose to run several additional programs: summer ball, fall ball, etc.
Several goals should be common to any league operating a second season program.
These include:
Providing additional playing opportunities to any interested players in the league regardless of ability
Recruiting new players, volunteers and sponsors to the Little League program
Introducing new divisions of play within the league.Providing an additional opportunity for players to transition to the next level to help retain more players.Providing additional training and development opportunities for all players in the league.
