PRACTICES AND GAMES
Spring League runs from late March to late June (with practices beginning as early as mid-March). Full schedules will be posted here: inwoodlittleleague.org/schedules.
Players can expect to attend one or two practices per week and play one or two games per weekend, with some occasional weekday games. Some teams may also participate in weekend tournaments.
Home games are played on our home fields in Inwood (Inwood Hill Park fields and Dyckman fields) and Washington Heights (Michael Busczek Field). Away games are played on fields at various Bronx or other Manhattan locations.
**We are excited to offer a division for 7-8 years olds! The structure of this division will depend on sign-ups, but will likely include weekly practices and scrimmages. If numbers allow, it may also include inter-league games.
