Spring League games are scheduled to start in mid April and are held as double headers on either Saturday or Sunday throughout the state. GRALA does host one league weekend besides our annual tournament. There will also be opportunities for home and local games with Arrowhead Region associations.

Tournaments-

We will participate in 3 tournaments. The annual GRALA Shootout, one local association tournament and the GNLL Spring State Tournament. Dates and details are available here.

Are there tryouts?

Team evaluations will be held at the 12U & 14U age levels if necessary based on the amount of players registered. Per GNLL, if enough players are registered to form 2 teams - evaluations will be held in an effort to create "A" and "B" level teams based off GRALA By-Law evaluation procedures. - If registration numbers do now allow us to offer 2 teams at a given age group, one team will be formed and evaluations will not be held.

At the 10U and younger levels, if registration numbers allow, multiple equal level teams will be formed. Evaluations will not be held for these age groups.
