2011 Fall Ball
The Bellingham Fall Baseball Program will begin its 7th season this August. In conjunction with Inside Pitch, the league continues to expand and provide a quality, structured environment for baseball throughout the late summer and early fall months.
The goal of the Fall Baseball League is to improve each player's skills in preparation for the following season, and to have fun doing it! We will build on the progress made in the summer leagues and work to prepare each player for the next phase of their baseball experience. Specific rules are in place to provide balance and player involvement in multiple training situations.Inside Pitch Fall Baseball League Games begin the weekend of August 27th & 28th.(No Games Labor Day Wknd.)
