Salem Little League's Spring season registration is wrapping up.

Salem Little League's Spring Season is here and the fun is about to start. They don't want any kids who want to play to be left out.

With the weather finally turning to spring, albeit a week or so later than they had hoped, Salem Little League is ramping up for a fun filled season.

While registration is full, teams are made, and wait list is started for programs for age 9+, Salem Little League has room for Tee Ball (age 4-6) and Coach Pitch/Farm Baseball and Farm Softball (Ages 6-8), but time is running out.

For those 9+, the league encourages a wait list sign up. The league does everything it can to find a place for kids to play.
