Which division do I register for?
There’s some age overlap between the various divisions, so here’s a quick guide to help you decide where to register:
For more information about our various divisions see https://www.nollsoll.com/divisions/
What does “Little League age” (or “LL-age”) mean?
For Little League purposes, a player’s age is their actual age on August 31 of the current year – it’s complicated, but there’s a calculator and a chart here. If you’re outside the age range we have set for a division, it won’t let you register and will ask you to select a different division.
How do I register to coach?
We’re so glad you asked! If you’re interested in coaching, please fill out a separate coach registration in the appropriate age group at https://secure.sportability.com/nollsoll and we’ll be in touch.
Do coaches get a discount?
If you coached in Spring 2023, you should have received a separate email with your coach discount code. If you didn’t see it, please email info@nollsoll.com to confirm.
I requested a scholarship – what’s the status?
We’ll be sending out scholarship information after November 1 – please look for an email from us then. If you need to request a scholarship, use this form.
When does the season start?
Tryouts usually take place in late January, Opening Day is in late February, and games start in late February or early March. Look for emails from us after the start of the new year with more info, or check our calendar, which we’ll update as we have more information about field availability, weather and other factors.
What team is that in the photo above??
That’s a flashback to our 2013 NOLL All Stars – if you recognize anybody you know give us a shout!

Not only is NOLL/SOLL hosting the Seniors Western Regional All-Star Tournament at Laney College, but our own Seniors team (ages 15-16) is representing California District 4 in the tournament starting tomorrow, Thursday July 20 at 2pm, and they’d love to have your fan support! (The photo above shows the team after winning the District 4 tournament last month.)
This is the last leg of the tournament where it will be determined who will represent the Western Region in the Senior Little League World Series in Easley, South Carolina (July 29 – August 5th), so you’re sure to see some high-quality baseball.
Come out and support our NOLL/SOLL Seniors (our game is shown as “CA D4” in the bracket below or you can also find the schedule and results here) – last year we played into the championship game!
We still need more volunteers to help the tournament run smoothly – if you can lend a hand with admissions, snack shack, setup or cleanup, contact Paul Rosky, email volunteers@nollsoll.com or just show up at Laney and ask for a task!
Update 7/20/23: The Seniors won their first game over Oregon, and will face Idaho at 4pm on Friday, July 21. See you there!

Huge thanks to the Ball Park Buns & Rolls’ Ball Park of Dreams Initiative for donating funds to fix up a very tired-looking Back Caldecott this spring, and to the NOLL/SOLL volunteer field crew who put in countless hours and put those dollars to work to turn a field that wasn’t even playable last year into one that is now fully scheduled.
After a couple years of drought and a challenging rainy season, the field was in pretty rough shape, but look at it now: New sod in the outfield, a weed-free infield, new netting on the batting cages and cleaned-up bullpens. This field is heavily used by our AAA program and the fixes make a huge difference in safety and playability. Thanks to these improvements we were able to accommodate more players this year than we would have without this field.
Use the sliders below to check out the improvements or come catch a game!
