Quick answer: Youth baseball in Lomita runs through Lomita Little League, a volunteer-run league at 26800 Western Avenue that takes players ages 4 to 15 in spring and fall, and the City of Lomita’s summer co-ed baseball program for ages 4 to 12. Spring 2027 Little League registration was announced open on October 19, 2026. Girls can join either program.
Key takeaways
- Lomita Little League plays spring ball from March and fall ball from August, and takes players ages 4 to 15.
- The City of Lomita runs a separate summer co-ed baseball program for ages 4 to 12 through Parks and Recreation.
- Baseball league age is your child’s age on August 31, and players 8 and older must live in or attend school inside the league’s boundaries.
- Lomita has no softball league we could verify; the nearest dedicated girls softball we found is in San Pedro.
- Little League’s home field on Western Avenue is a Navy property that the city is working to take over.
Which youth baseball leagues play in Lomita?
Looking for Lomita Little League or other Lomita baseball options for your child? There are two main ones. Lomita Little League is a volunteer-run league that says it has served local kids since 1954. The City of Lomita also runs its own summer co-ed baseball program through Parks and Recreation. Both are in the cards below, and this page explains how they differ and how to get your child signed up.
Lomita is a small city, so many families also look just over the line. Lomita Little League is one of the leagues in California District 27, along with leagues in Torrance and San Pedro Eastview. A nearby league can be a backup if a division here fills up, though the boundary rules below still apply.
Club and travel teams exist across the South Bay too. They are private and vary a lot, so this guide sticks to the community leagues. Extra skill work can be added on the side, and the last section covers that.

How do I sign up for Lomita Little League?
Lomita Little League runs a spring season that starts in March and fall ball that starts in August. Sign-up is online through the registration link on the league’s site. On October 19, 2026 the league posted that spring 2027 registration was open. A year earlier, spring registration opened on November 21, 2025, and fall ball sign-up ran from July until August 15. So spring registration comes in the autumn before the season, and fall ball registration comes in the summer. Check the site for the current window.
The league takes players from age 4 to 15. Your child’s division comes from Little League’s age chart, and the board and player agents confirm placement at evaluations. For baseball, Little League International sets league age by the child’s age on August 31. Farm, Rookies, Minors, Majors and Juniors have evaluations, while T-ball does not. Every child is placed on a team. For its August 2026 evaluations, the league asked families to arrive 30 minutes early to check in and finish medical forms.
In spring, each team plays one game during the week and one on the weekend, with one or two practices. The league gives each child a jersey and cap. Families buy the glove, helmet, cleats and a Little League approved bat. Each household is also asked to work a snack bar shift. If you miss registration, the league says to email it to join the waitlist, and a waitlist spot does not guarantee a team.
Which league covers your address?
Little League has one rule for children 4 to 7 and another for children 8 and older. A player of league age 7 or under can register with any Little League. From age 8, a child must live inside the league’s boundaries or attend school inside them, unless the child has played continuously in that league since age 7. Residency papers are dated between February 1 of the previous year and February 1 of the current year. Little League’s league finder tells you which league covers your home or school address.
What is happening with the Little League field on Western Avenue?
The league plays at what it calls Navy Field, 26800 Western Avenue. The land belongs to the U.S. Navy. In an announcement dated October 23, 2026, the City of Lomita said it is pursuing a transfer of the roughly six-acre site and has begun long-term planning. The city has hired design consultants and has a $500,000 Los Angeles County Measure A grant for planning and design. It says any development would come in phases and depends on approvals and funding.
For parents, the practical points are short. The league is a stakeholder in the planning, and its site still lists Navy Field as its home location. The league’s FAQ also says game locations can vary between Lomita and neighboring Little Leagues, because registration numbers change each year. Check your team’s schedule instead of assuming every game is on Western Avenue. Postseason games such as All-Stars are held at various District 27 fields.
Lomita Little League or the city’s summer program: which fits my child?
The two programs are built differently, so the choice depends on your child.
- Lomita Little League: spring and fall seasons, ages 4 to 15, evaluations in most divisions, and a path into District 27 postseason play.
- City of Lomita summer baseball: co-ed, ages 4 to 12, run by Parks and Recreation with age divisions. The 2026 ages 6 to 7 division ran from July 6 to August 29 at the Lomita Recreation Center, 24428 Eshelman Avenue.
The city program is a natural first summer for a child who has never played on a team. Little League gives longer seasons and more structure for a child who wants more. The seasons barely overlap, so a child can try the city program in summer and move to Little League the next spring. Questions about the city program go to Parks and Recreation at 310.326.0140.
Where can my daughter play softball near Lomita?
Lomita Little League’s FAQ says it welcomes all children ages 4 to 15, so girls can play in its baseball program. The city’s summer program is also co-ed. We could not verify a separate Lomita softball league, so Lomita softball players usually look outside the city.
The closest dedicated option we confirmed is the San Pedro Girls Softball Association, which plays at Pistol Range Fields on North Gaffey Street under USA Softball. Its site lists spring 2027 registration running from November 1 to December 31. See our San Pedro guide and the Torrance girls softball guide for more. Our softball hitting drills work at home too.
How can my child get extra practice between seasons?
DITR is a Torrance nonprofit that serves South Bay families. Its free baseball and softball clinics will be open to players of all ages and work as extra skill work next to any league. DITR is not affiliated with Lomita Little League or the city. You can get clinic updates here.
Older or advanced players can work one-on-one with Coach Murphy Su’a, who has coached for more than 40 years, through player development. At home, our youth baseball drills give any age a simple plan, and how to prepare for baseball tryouts helps with evaluation day. Nearby, see the Torrance guide and the Palos Verdes guide.
Frequently asked questions
What is my child’s league age for Lomita Little League?
For baseball, Little League International uses your child’s age on August 31 of the season year. Match that age to the league’s current age chart on its site. The board and player agents confirm the division at evaluations, so the chart is a starting point.
Does my child have to try out?
Farm, Rookies, Minors, Majors and Juniors have evaluations so the league can place players fairly. T-ball has no tryout. The league says every player is assigned to a team.
What gear does a new player need?
Lomita Little League provides a jersey and cap. Families buy a glove, a helmet, cleats and a Little League approved bat, and the coach will say which pants, socks and belt to buy once teams are set.
Can we join if we live outside Lomita?
Children 7 and under can register in any Little League. From age 8, the child must live in or attend school inside the league’s boundaries, unless they have played there continuously since age 7. Use Little League’s league finder to check your address before you register.
What if I missed registration?
The league says to email it or call 310-831-3838 to be added to the waitlist. A waitlist spot does not guarantee a place on a team, so also look at the city’s summer program as a second option.
Who do I call about the city’s summer baseball?
Call the City of Lomita Parks and Recreation Department at 310.326.0140. The city’s youth sports page links to online registration but does not post open and close dates.
