Summer Tournaments

CHLL’s Summer tournament teams require significant time and travel commitments within the DMV and along the East Coast. CHLL expects to support multiple official Summer 2026 baseball and softball tournament teams and also to participate in selected unofficial series.

Official Little League International

• 8U - 12U baseball

• 10U - 12U softball

Unofficial

• 8U machine pitch baseball

CHLL hosts a Winter informational town hall meeting for all interested families.

Younger squads are usually formed during the Spring playing season. For the older age brackets the coaching and player selection efforts begin before the Spring season — manager and preliminary player interest surveys are sent out after the town hall, coaches are selected before the Spring season and player workouts are held in early May. CHLL aims to announce selections by mid-May and practices begin immediately. Families can expect games in June and July. The older teams can continue to play into late August should they reach the Little League World Series.

CHLL strives to build the best tournament team it can each year for each age bracket. Player selection and timing can slightly vary by age level, but all teams are assembled through open tryout(s) with input from both tournament and regular season coaches. To be eligible a player must participate in at least eight official CHLL games during the Spring season. Placement on a prior year’s tournament team does not guarantee a future selection.

CHLL is excited for another great tournament season. We encourage interested families to attend the virtual town hall for more complete details or reach out to any CHLL board member or coach for additional information.

* In Summer 2025 these tournaments were not affiliated with DC State Little League.
