Federal Way National Little League has divisions for boys and girls age 5-14, from t-ball through juniors and a first rate Challenger program for those with special needs. T-ball through AA baseball/softball (ages 5-8) can register through March 21.

Last year, the Federal Way National Little League All-Stars won the 9-10 State Championship, finished first in the district 11-12 softball tournament, finished second in the district 10-11 softball tournament and finished third in the 10-11 Baseball All-Star and 11-12 Baseball All-Star tournaments. With so much talent returning this year, 2016 promises to be an exciting time.
The league has partnered with area companies to help keep the costs to a minimum. Sponsors help leagues operate smoothly, offer expertise in fundraising, operations, nutrition and safety. In addition, Federal Way can support their local league via Amazon Smile, a simple and automatic way for you to support your local Little League at no cost to the purchaser.
Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, Little League baseball assists children in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball and Softball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.
Little League Baseball is the world’s largest organized youth sports program with over 2 million boys and girls around the world playing baseball and softball.
Each year, the 12-year-old all-stars compete at the local, state and Northwest Regional level in the hope of going to the International World Series held in Williamsport, Pennsylvania and broadcast on ESPN.
