For over 50 years, Sherman Oaks Little League has offered wonderful baseball experiences for boys and girls league age 5-15. Our league area includes Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Valley Village, Valley Glen, Toluca Lake, and broad segments of North Hollywood and Van Nuys. In our spring season, we program over 550 athletes, from T-Ball through Juniors and provide a 17-20 game season with playoffs, uniforms, instruction, umpires and basic equipment. We also have a Girls Softball program for girls league age 7-12. For our managers and coaches, our program provides safety clinics, instructional clinics, rules clinics, and clinics that address sports injuries. We strive to provide an excellent, competitive baseball program while showing our players respect and compassion.
In the Fall, SOLL offers a Sunday only baseball program from Sept.-Nov. This season keeps kids playing and sharpens their skills for the next Spring season.
Sherman Oaks Little League teams have won multiple
District 40 TOC and District 40 All Star championships
SOLL Baseball Divisions:
Tee Ball, Minor League, Little League Baseball & Juniors
Tee Ball: For players league age 5 & 6 who will learn the fundamentals of hitting and fielding. Players use a tee during games to develop the correct batting swing. Children who are league age 6 and have played one season of Tee Ball at SOLL may tryout for the Farm division in the Spring season after first registering for Tee Ball. If space is available in the Farm division for league age 6 year olds and you child is moved up, your registration fee will be adjusted to the Farm-Majors rate.
Minor League: Players of league age 7-12. At SOLL, we divide the Minor League into 4 divisions: Farm (mostly ages 7 & 8), AA (mostly ages 8 & 9) , AAA (mostly ages 9 & 10) and Minors (mostly ages 10, 11 and some 12yo). Each division may also include some younger and older players based on skill level and parent awareness.
Our Farm division is machine or coach pitch while AA and up is player pitch. For the best skills development, we do not encourage skipping divisions as each offers your child an opportunity to improve their current skills, develop new ones and build confidence, in age appropriate environments. The player pitch divisions (AA, AAA and Minors) will have double eliminations playoffs at the end of the season. The playoff winner from the Minors division will represent SOLL at the District 40 Tournament of Champions (TOC).(No playoffs in Tee Ball or Farm)
Little League Baseball (also known as the Majors division): At SOLL, this division is for ages 11-12 (based on skill level). Leagues may enter tournament play for 11-12 year olds in this Little League baseball division ending in World Series tournaments. The Majors division has double elimination playoffs at the the end of the season and the playoff winner will represent SOLL at the District 40 Tournament of Champions (TOC).
Junior League: SOLL's Juniors' Program, an extension of Little League for ages 13-15, bridges the gap between Little League and high school baseball. It's a smooth continuation of our Little League program and an extremely valuable transition before reaching the larger dimensions of a high school baseball field. The Juniors division has double elimination playoffs at the end of the season and the playoff winner will represent SOLL at the District 40 Tournament of Champions (TOC).
Girls Softball Division: SOLL's softball division is for girls league age 7 - 11. Practices are at SOLL and games are played against other teams in District 40.
