FHLL 9-11 ALL STARS

At West Springfield. our 9-11 All Stars under the leadership of Brent Merchant, after defeating DTQ 17-7 in its opening game, lost three tough games by scores of 3-4, 6-8 and 10-11. We were improving every game and those three games could have gone either way. 

Brent and coach Mike McElwain dedicated themselves to these kids this year and made great strides over last year. We're proud of their progress and know they will make another big step forward between now and next year when they will challenge for the 2020 District 9 9-11 All Star Championship.

Thanks to Brent and Mike, who with Jack Breheny and Tommy Sanchez, gave us such an exciting 2019 All Star season. We are moved by the progress these kids made and for the dedication, grit and good sportsmanship they displayed; all the qualities we aspire to making our own in this great Fort Hunt community.

Mission Statement

The Mission of Fort Hunt Little League is to provide youth baseball in a safe and positive environment to develop character, promote good sportsmanship and respect for others so as players grow into adults they will embody the highest and best values of the Fort Hunt community. 

About Fort Hunt Little League

Founded in 1956, Fort Hunt Little League is chartered by Little League International, a not-for-profit tax-exempt organization founded in 1939. Little League International operates under a 1964 federal charter signed by the President of the United States and is located in Williamsport Pennsylvania.

Fort Hunt Little League Baseball operates under the aegis of the Fort Hunt Youth Athletic Association, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit tax-exempt organization founded in 1959. Fort hunt Youth Athletic Association provides organized youth sports in the historic Fort Hunt community of Fairfax County Virginia.

Fort Hunt Little League Baseball Divisions

          Fort Hunt Little League Baseball is organized into divisions which consider skill levels, age and school grade. To the degree possible we keep players together with classmates and neigborhood friends but we move higher skilled players ahead to our upper divisions when warranted to keep challenging all players to do their best. In addition, we try to balance skill levels across divisions and teams so each team and Division is highly competitive. Competitive teams encourages players to compete with each other and themselves and challenges both highly skilled and less skilled players so we leave no one behind.

          Our primary goal is to foster a competitive spirit, good sportsmanship and a love of the wonderful game of baseball. We start from the sure knowledge that successful people have more fun - to that end, we strive to give our players the equipment, facilities and coaching they need to be successful.

          Success on the field starts with understanding and mastering good mechanics. We ask our coaches to strive to achieve three objectives: 1/ teach and encourage good mechanics, 2/ motivate players to commit to the game and compete with themselves and 3/ coach in a spirit of good will and a joy of life. The fun part will take care of itself. All we have to do is assure the players know and practice good mechanics on the field; that they learn to respect the game and their teammates and - always - are involved in an uplifting experience only good coaches can provide.

          Target Ages for the various Divisions are shown below. Descriptions of each Fort Hunt Little League Division are available elsewhere on this site under "League Descriptions."

In brief, T-Ball and the A-Ball Divisions are designed for kids to play with their friends so we place players in those Divisions most often by age and on teams according to parent request.

Players in the AA Division and higher are placed in Divisions by an assessment process and drafted onto teams by Managers. Player assessment and draft order is determined from a combination of skill assessments, coach recommendations, Baseball Age and school grade.

          At the Drafts, Managers select players one at a time, in turn, until all players on the draft board have been selected. Parent requests for a particular team, coach or teammate are available to Managers who consider them as best they can at each draft.  

FHLL DIVISIONS - TARGETED AGES

• T-Ball — 4, 5 & 6 year olds
• A Division — 6, 7 & 8
• AA Division  — 7, 8 & 9
